Why did you put apathy in quotes?

Seems he doesn't believe that you don't care about Mizzou...probably because you haven't mentioned not caring about Mizzou enough times.

Or any times, really.

Mizzou vs. Arky rivalry kicks off Thanksgiving Weekend of 2014. I really hope this develops over time into something good.

I hate, hate, hate giving up our traditional game against LSU, and I feel that we got screwed pretty badly by the SEC on that one, but I'm also looking forward to developing something with Mizzou.

Also happy they put the game on a Saturday, as that will increase the number of people (especially students) able to travel to it. Go home for Thanksgiving dinner with the family, then everyone packs up for a road trip up to Mizzou (then vice versa the next year).

Think how big that game is going to be in 2014 when Petrino faces his former team.

We do have a pretty good volleyball team, right? So I guess its not out of the question.

Such BS. How the hell does Georgia get an easier schedule every freaking year?

From 2009 - 2014 they play Bama in the regular season zero times. Over the same stretch Florida plays Bama 3 times.

Florida plays LSU every year. Georgia gets Auburn.

Last year Florida's West opponents were home against LSU and @ Texas A&M.
Georgia had @ Auburn and vs. Ole Miss.

This year Florida plays @ LSU while Georgia gets them at home.

Then in 2014 Florida plays @ Bama and hosts LSU while UGA gets Auburn at home and @ Arkansas.

It's a freaking joke.

Tell me about it. Made no sense to me a couple years ago when Saul went on and on about how KU's enrollment was down.

I tried telling him that it's damn near impossible to keep rising once a school has peaked. KU peaked with a BCS and a National Championship en route to the most total victories for a university in the history of the NCAA (Football and Basketball) in 2008.

I suppose the same has happened to Mizzou. They saw their peak last year with a move to another athletic conference.

Just landed another 4 star WR.

Oh man. It's going to be a field day digging up Mizzou fan quotes about what a lying, scum sucking shitbag Petrino was if that happens.

But I thought all SEC schools played "tough, NFL-esque schedules"? That's the logic that the BCS and pollsters use to justify screwing over everyone else while propping up the SEC, after all.
