Look at it from Missouri's Perspective

I don't want em, but they're here.
I just thought I'd throw this out there. From Mizzou's perspective, they are giving up some stuff and going through a big change.
The most meetings they have with any current SEC team is 6 games in history - with Ole Miss.
They have only played TAMU 12 times in history, counting this year.
They are giving up all of their rivalries on their way to the SEC. That's a big change to go through.
At least TAMU has history with Arkansas and LSU. In fact, Arkansas and LSU are TAMU's 7th and 8th most played teams respectively.
LSU & TAMU = 50 meetings
ARK & TAMU = 68 meetings
It also is interesting to note that 2 of Mizzou's top 6 historical rivals are already gone, with Nebraska and Colorado moving on.
I don't like Mizzou, but I can try to see it from their fans' perspective. Maybe they will be able to keep Kansas as a rivalry every year.
But everything else they know is all going away. Gotta be strange. I know it was weird for Arkansas 20 years ago, but we already played Ole Miss every year, had some history with LSU, and had played many other SEC teams in Sugar, Cotton and Liberty Bowls over the years.
They are getting into the best conference in the land, but they are also losing some traditions along the way.

Hi. Im a Mizzou fan and Alum and I would like to state that I dont care for Ar-kansas already. ANY school that has kansas in its name is on the hit list from day one. From reading some message boards in SEC land, it appears their fan base is very similar to kansas as well.
ITs one thing to take a piece of humble pie from the like of Bama,Lsu,Auburn,Florida etc.
But form Arkansas? Get lost.
Mizzou is gonna have many pig roasts in the coming years and all our new SEC brothers are invited to the feast.

It is definitely a big change. But it is the best possible move we could have made.
I fully expect we will take quite a few beatings, but in the long haul, we will earn our keep.

re: Mizzou. They are still pissed that they can't leave and re-enter the stadium though!

I suppose I'm in the minority at this point. I think Missouri will come into the SEC next year, and compete quite well in the SEC East. $$$ or not, I like the addition, and believe they will contribute greatly to the conference.
TAMU on the other hand, I'm still a little pissed about their stance when Arky left for the SEC 20 years ago. They too have a good program, and will contribute greatly to the SEC (I think I threw up a little when I wrote that).

I like Mizzou, and if the conferences are expanding they are a good choice, I'm glad they joined the SEC, they can grow with the SEC to be a good addition.
If Tennessee with little home grown talent can be a power in the SEC why can't Missouri?

Hey Newbie, what you want doesn't matter. Aren't you a member of the Southwest Conference?
