RT @PeteThamelNYT: We need to tap the brakes on Mizzou and SEC. Been told definitively that no alignment scenario has been discussed

I don't see Mizzou jumping ship before Oklahoma or Texas. Let the dust settle and see where MU lands.

If Auburn moves East then it means that Alabama would have to choose either TN or AU.

Putting Mizzou in the east preserves historic rivalries. It also allows Mizzou to add A&M as their cross-division rival game, helping to preserve Mizzou's Texas recruiting pipeline.

Missouri has about 400 miles of border with Arkansas and only about 100 miles of border with Kentucky and Tennessee combined. And Columbia is west of all but 2 of the other SEC schools.

Your other arguments may have merit though.

Watching The Evening Jones for the first time, Bomani Jones is good. He's talking a little realignment.

just reported MU to SEC..............deal is done

Dr. Gigglepants 09-20-2011 07:24 PM

I don't believe it until I see us on the field against an SEC opponent.

CoMo probably just sent Mizzou to the Mountain West, but then he'd be sad since it would negatively affect his football team.

But BASKETBALL in the BIG EASTERN 12 WILL RULE!!!

Just saw it on ESPNews. Still using words like "tentatively," but the fact that they're reporting it fills me with hope.

CoMoChief 09-20-2011 07:34 PM

need to finalize details....but it's confirmed

CoMoChief 09-20-2011 07:35 PM

OU pushing hard for Pac12.

I can honestly say this is the first time Alden has done something "right" while at MU.

Not trying to piss on the parade, but weren't they reporting it last year?
