Mizzou in the SEC would be Mizzou in the Big 12 about ten years ago.

Mizzou wasn't 1/2 the football program it was ten years ago.
Mizzou beat Ol' Miss @ Ol' Miss. Mizzou piss pounded Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl.
I agree that it would be a much tougher hill to climb,
much tougher - but not impossible. I'm terrified of Alabama - absolutely terrified of them. That team should damn near never lose. Auburn's gonna be fun to smack around a little bit in a couple years when the sanctions from the Newton deal finally come (and they will). Florida seems poised to take a bit of a step back.
But MU has acquitted itself nicely against a lot of its SEC opponents and they are finally starting to build the talent on the O and D lines that could allow them to compete.
Bottom line: MU has no choice. I'd much prefer see them take a B10 offer, but they don't have one. If they get an SEC invite, they have to take it. It's only a matter of time until UT gets a network deal and goes independent. Then the music stops and there just might not be a chair for us.
