Oh, I see. Good catch. When I read "MR.SEC" in a link I immediately skip past it as it's always Pravda-esque boosterism. Didn't know he cited SI:


“One bad football season does not make this a terrible move. Remember, in the preceding five years, Missouri was much better at football than Texas A&M. The Tigers certainly need to get better on the football field — because their new rivals in the SEC East aren’t getting any worse — but calling this move a mistake because of one lousy football season is premature. If, in 10 years, Missouri has not moved out of the SEC’s cellar, then feel free to say that the Tigers traded a world of pain for the financial security of the SEC."


10 YEARS!?!?! Really Andy Staples? That long a leash? A decade? So the next 9 years, we can't "feel free" to discuss the merits. To question the almight wisdom of Alden Pinkel & Deaton? We will need 9 more years.

I don't know why a KU fan would want to discuss Mizzou for the next 9 seconds. Wanting to rehash it over and over again for the the next 9 years is reeruned.

If they restart the MU/KU rivalry at some point then sure fire the douche wagon back up, but damn, as it is they are not going to be playing one another on any sort of regular basis, so move the **** on.

But how will everyone know that they don't care about Mizzou if they aren't constantly telling us how much they don't care about Mizzou?

You cannot stop obsessing about Mizzou for 10 seconds....let alone 10 years.

According to Staples, he thinks MU should give Pinkel 9 more years in the cellar before they'd make a change. I don't think MU fans would agree but I am not one so I can't speak for them.

Ummm....no. You failed reading multiple times as a child in school, didn't you? Your quote has nothing to do with whether Pinkel is the coach or not. It has nothing to do with how many years Pinkel should or should not be given to be successful. Staples is looking big picture...you are just obsessing over Mizzou.

[Bambi]

I know PB does post a bit too often about Mizzou but don't you guys think the bar is being set "just" a little low for your program?

I'm mean Jesus, that line alone is very insulting.

Disappointing I couldn't post a realignment link without it turning into another MU pissing match. Sad.

I’ve said from the beginning that it was going to be either the Big 12 or ACC that survives and everything I hear from the Big Ten and SEC makes me very afraid for the long-term future of the Big 12.

Texas and Oklahoma are valuable commodities. Kansas is too and their academics fit right into the Big Ten’s academic model. Right now its Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri that top the Big Ten’s wish list. They could take any two of those schools or even all four.

If that happens then Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Kansas State are likely to move over to the SEC if the ACC is secured by a profitable conference network (which I doubt).


ometimes, I’m asked to sit on information to let it percolate. A few months ago I learned that the Big Ten was in heated talks with Missouri and the SEC had contacted WVU about replacing the Tigers in the SEC. I sat on that information partly because I was asked to wait and partly because I’ve learned my lesson.

WVU and the Big 12 have a travel problem. It seems that Texas and a few other schools way out west didn’t like traveling to Morgantown as much as WVU hated those long trips to Texas. An informal deal was worked out between the SEC and Big 12 where WVU would have been allowed to leave if Missouri left the SEC for the Big Ten and BYU agreed to replace WVU and play some games on Sundays (mostly basketball and non-revenue sports). BYU will never agree to play on Sundays and the deal feel through – actually it was never close. Missouri isn’t the Big Ten’s only option and they want the best bang for their network and in that regard Texas trumps Missouri every time.

What I’m certain is that the Big Ten is talking to Missouri and a few Big 12 schools>>>>

I can't think of any source less credible than "The Dude"

If Missouri truly wanted to be in the Big 10, they'd be in the Big 10 now and why the **** would the SEC want EMAW?

The Sporting News just blasted the Big 12.

The sixth best OOC schedule in the Big 12 is West Virginia. Their entire non-con consists of two FCS teams and Maryland.

First off, you seriously need to move on with your life dude. Stop obsessing about teams you'll never play again.


Second, it sounds kinda like they're blasting the SEC competitive balance here:

(Mississippi State was one of the eight SEC schools who were a combined 0-30 against the top six).
