I don't know where you get 16M eyeballs in Missouri unless there are some serious deformities I don't know of. I wouldn't call a 9-8 SEC record "tearing it up" especially when you're 2-8 vs teams that ended ranked. Now that it's basketball season most people in Missouri turn their eyes to their favorite basketball team anyway, KU.

Rather than buy into the idea of a conference network, they decided to go rogue. In so doing, they drove four original members out of the conference with the LHN being the final straw. They also put three games on a channel that next to nobody has...even in Texas, effectively blacking out a quarter of their games.

Since then, aTm has captured the casual fans in Texas with JFF winning the Heisman. Nebraska fans watched their team win their division in the B1G. The 16,000,000 eyeballs in Missouri couldn't care less about a mediocre Texas team when their team is tearing it up in the SEC.

Meanwhile, the Horns kicked off the season with blowout losses to BYU and Ole Miss. (Word to the wise: when you're trying to convince the country that your conference is a comparable product to the SEC, don't have your flagship program get blown out...at home, no less...to a perennial SEC doormat...and then let that flagship team turn around and go 7-1 in conference...with a backup QB...and after replacing their DC midseason with a guy who hadn't coached anything in years.)

Almost everyone has two eyes. It appears he was thinking of Missouri's population being 8 million people. I don't think you get to 8,000,000 unless you include the Kansas and Illinois metro areas of KC and St. Louis, and even then that's more like 7.5 million.

But keep trying to explain away how 12-2 and a top 5 finish isn't "tearing it up."

When you're done playing intellectual twister, make sure you stretch out really well. Would hate for you to get stuck in one of those extreme positions you twist into.

Better luck next year beating us.

You're wrong.



I would have rather played Alabama in the SEC title game. They weren't as good as Auburn.

LSU? Unless we're playing a night game at their place, I like Missouri's chances against that team.

South Carolina? Top ten finisher, really good team that Missouri should have beaten.

Auburn? Great team that was better than Mizzou and within 2-3 plays of winning the national title. No shame in losing that one.

There are 6M people in MO. You can't get to 16M eyeballs. This isn't rocket science Duncan. For someone who has a good handle on Sabermetrics this calc should not confuse you.


And like I say, there is a large chunk of MO residents (cough cough) that don't like Mizzou and don't watch their football games anyway. As to "tearing it up" ill stand on the facts. 9 wins vs teams finishing 22-50. MU tears up crappy teams yes.

South Carolina finished top 5, actually.

If the SEC deniers are to be believed, finishing with teams ranked 2, 4, 5, 7, 14, 18, and 24 is a down year. The Big 12 was strong, though, with teams finishing ranked 6, 13, and 17.

Yup 7 ranked teams out of 14 is a "down year". But remember, the SEC is overrated.
