This wasn't true a few years ago. There used to be a lot more "Mizzou doesn't belong", "send them back to the Big 12", "not an SEC school" commentary around here. And Aggy used to get more of a pass because it spent big money, has a gigantic stadium, and does have a strong (albeit weird) fanbase.
I think what's happened is that more SEC fans have now actually visited Columbia, MO for a football game and realized that we aren't foreign weirdos and experienced that Mizzou/Columbia is a fun roadtrip. It's not the rowdiest crowd in the SEC by any means, but it's not a bad place to spend a weekend in the Fall. Mizzou finally having a competitive team this season doesn't hurt.
Meanwhile, Texas A&M keeps underperforming and doubling down by spending more money to buy success.

Difference in the fans

Missouri does alot more with alot less resources. I also don't know why any top hs recruit would choose A&M over Texas, Texas is a marquee brand, A&M isn't no matter what the fans say.

Mizzou is comfortably middle class in the SEC. Also, Mizzou is comfortably an odd duck in the SEC.
When we talk trash and beat your SEC rivals, it's funny. When we thump our chest with a crootin' win, it's silly. I know it. You know it. We all know it.
TAMU is bizarre. It spends money like it's hot sh!t, but doesn't have the corresponding success. A touch more Texan arrogance and a touch less humility.

Missouri is in the SEC?

Dunno. Aggy fans seem like good people. I don't understand why they're so vehemently despised. I get the male cheerleaders are weird and all that but I've seen nothing from Aggy fans that warrants a quarter of the hate they receive around here...

Because they're a blind, arrogant cult.

Mizzou fans have a little humility. Humility goes a long way.
