This is actually a good point.

Maybe we as Mizzou fans have become content to push around the KU's of the world. This move to the SEC is just what we need to continue cementing our reputation as a football up and comer. The SEC will offer harder challenges, therefore Mizzou will reach new levels of performance, since we don't have the KU's of the world to fall back on. Most excellent.

Horseshit. Never happened. And basketball season ended March 11.

Mizzou Senior WR and team captian, T.J. Moe knows that the SEC will be a big step up in competition for the Tigers.

It’s almost like you have off weeks in the Big 12. You can’t say that about the SEC. You have to bring your “A” game every week.

Would be true if the record wasn't 5-4 in the last 9 years. The Gill experiment was a complete fail, that much is obvious. Before that, though... yeah.

Not sure why 9 years is the barometer. Nobody on Mizzou's 2012 team ever lost to Kansas. Those are the only players that matter.

They certainly have their work cut out for them, they went 7-5 last year with losses to OU, OSU, K-State, Baylor and Az State playing in the weak Big 12. But they did finish strong, good luck!

The kid came back for more punishment? What a dumbass. At least he wasn't talking about grown men's endowments this time.

Would have been 9-4 if Pinkel hadn't iced his own kicker in the ASU game.

I heard that Mizzou nearly missed out on the consensus #1 football recruit in the country and USA Today's high school player of the year over this SEC move.

They said he considered Kansas but in the end he was afraid the high level of competition in the Big 12 might hurt his chances of going to the NFL, so he picked a lower profile conference.

The 24-10 curbstomp?

I've never been so unhappy while winning a game in my life. Just of what woulda happened had Gill held on!

Ugh...

You talking bout DGB? KU had two scheduled meetings with him and Gill didn't show up for either.

Thank goodness, no doubt DGB would have chosen the glory of playing football in Lawrence and the Big 12 if he had shown up.
