I said most, not all. You left that part out. The majority on here don't actually remember playing your natural rivals every year.

Calling me names isn't going to make the situation any different.

Trolling is saying something you know to be untrue for the sake of "rustling jimmies", correct?

I didn't say anything I felt to be untrue. I certainly didn't say any of it simply to piss off Mizzou fans.

So no. I am neither a troll nor a liar.

If you want to think I am an idiot, that's your opinion, and you are welcome to it. It wont make it true, just as none of my opinions will necessarily be true just because they are my opinions. See how that opinion thing works? You have one that is opposed to mine. The difference is, you are getting angry and calling me names for my opinion. I simply accept that your opinion is different.

This is why you don't belong. It is the prevailing opinion of your fanbase. You feel like you are superior due to geography and a false perception of higher education and possibly even breeding.

You, and every mizzou fan who feels the same way are the reason why I say you are a bad fit.

If your intent was to troll, then you are the liar and the ignorant fool.

Trolling is something miserable people do to make themselves feel better about themselves.

I live in a very real world where I am a happy guy. I don't need to make someone else feel angry or embarrassed to feel good about myself.

You are getting your panties in a twist over trolling. Everyone I know is thrilled to be in the SEC. All I have heard is respect from Mizzou fans to the SEC. Well except Arkansas.

you are generalizing a whole fanbase off of what posters say on an internet board.

and then using the few examples for putting reason behind why mizzou doesn't belong.

it's like we're aliens or something.

All trolling aside, we are who Dawg wants us to be, culturally - porch sitting, Natty Light drinking, BBQ eating fools. (Memphis BBQ is the best, btw.) But being told we're a frickin' mid-major that doesn't deserve to be in the SEC... F-U.

The days of the Big Eight, SWAC and a 10-team SEC are over. This thing is still heading toward a four super conference world and Missouri brings a ton of positives to the table, both on and off the field of competition. We were a good get. And hey, we're proud and excited to be here, still - even with our Year One stumbles.

It's not about some Northern arrogance. Just don't try to strip our dignity.

No, I am somewhat irritated at the repeated assertions that I am trolling. Its like someone cant have an opinion without being called a troll.

You seem to be pretty reasonable so I wont direct any of my irritation your way.

I don't hate Mizzou and I don't hate their fans. I just wish the ones Ive had contact with wouldn't act like they are too good to keep our company.

I didn't say you didn't deserve to be here man. I just said I thought it was a bad fit and then, somehow, I became a troll for having that opinion.

Damn, do you not believe culturally you are a better fit elsewhere?

I was saying that if/when the realization that a parting of the ways dawns on the SEC or Mizzou or both...where would you go?

You WONT go back to the Big-12, for obvious reasons, and I don't think Bevo would allow if you considered it.

The Big-10 would certainly say, "this is why we didn't take you in the first place."

Where is left? The ACC? Pac-12? Both of those are a worse fit for you than I think the SEC is.


Do I think Mizzou should be in a mid-major? No.

Do I think that mid-majors would be the only place you COULD go if you ever left the SEC? Probably, for the reasons stated above.

Do I also think that you will be here until long after I am dead and gone? Also Yes.

Again, Im not being a troll, or a liar. I just stated an opinion and it opened a huge can of worms.

If you say you are who I want you to be culturally, then come sit at our tailgate and eat our BBQ when you come to Athens. I wont even give you too much shite about that abomination you call BBQ out there.

Note: I don't normally drink cheap American beer myself, but I will drink one if my host offers it.

I have seen a few minutes of three of their games. They were on some random CBS sports channel this week. I missed their comeback against ASU, just watched parts of the first half. Run d actually looked decent.

Just so you know, the Southwest Conference is different from the SWAC

I assume you are not very knowledgeable about college fb like the rest of your fanbase

I am the minority who remember when there were 12 SEC teams and 2 were in LA and 2 were in GA. I have a feeling there are a few ole geauxt's who have similar memories.

OK, I'm with you. And apologies for misinterpreting your mid-major remark.

On your other points...

Prior to joining the SEC I would have said the B1G was a better cultural fit, but that would have been wishful thinking on my part. In truth, Missouri is becoming more Southern by the minute, politically and otherwise. St. Louis has become an island of Northernism trapped in a southern state. So it's only a matter of time.

As far as SEC football goes... When or if Stan Kroenke pulls the Rams out of St. Louis, the Missouri Tigers will be all this side of the state will have left and the transition to full blown SEC will be complete. I know a couple of people who have already diverted their financial allegiances away from the Rams to the Tigers. If the move happens, I imagine there will be considerably more.

Anyway, Missouri isn't as foreign as you think. We're wall to wall with Walmarts, Waffle Houses, sweet tea sippers and A-B beer drinkers and BBQ eaters.

When you act like you know what a coach thinks or what a conference thinks you are pulling it straight from your arse. That's why your bullshite is being calling trolling and lies. Acting like their games have been tough to find is flat out false.

And at your claim that you can't be trolling b/c only miserable people troll.

You are flat making stuff up and trying to hide behind saying its just an opinion. That's trolling 101.

The fact that it pisses folks off that were here makes me enjoy being here that much more, cause guess what bitches...you're stuck with us!



Seriously though. Until we beat some people we are just the new kids on the block. Sack up and take the hazing like a man! I just hope their coaches and players have also been too dumb to find our games on tv.

I haven't seen them at all. I hoped to catch part of their Arky State game last night, but no joy.
