Think MU football is better than KU.

Serious question, does MU have any NFL hall of famers? KU has 3.

Yeah, that Kellen Winslow guy wasn't too bad.

You're an idiot.

The call to Mizzou was just to be polite. (If it did indeed happen)

Mizzou leaving has nothing to do with the Big 12 collapsing. I think that's become very clear.

All I care about is Missouri getting away from the Texas League. The Texas League collapsing in our wake is just gravy.

Did Nebraska jumping in help it reach critical mass? Of course. But we lit the fuse. Who knows if Nebraska would have done anything on its own?

One thing that I hope comes from all of this:

Kansas fans love to point out how "irrelevant" and "insignificant" Missouri is. That's fine. We may not be able to boast about our Final Four appearances and (flukey) Orange Bowl selections. Sure.

But we could very easily leave your asses behind for good (along with Nebraska). Where would that leave you????? Kinda scary, isn't it?

Maybe you're not as infallible and mighty as you thought. Maybe Missouri isn't as lowly and insignificant as you thought.

Maybe. Just maybe. If the Big XII stays together... you'll appreciate and respect your neighbors to east a little bit more.

Why do some of you insist on linking the sports with the expansion stuff?? Trophies or lack of trophies has nothing to do with who the Big 10 wants.

KU fans should be humbled because Missouri is the only DI school in its state and is closer to St. Louis? KU fans should respect Missouri more because the shared KU/KSU/MU space around KC isn't as valuable as St. Louis?

If the locations were flipped, the Big 10 would be interested in Kansas. Missouri will be no more or less significant tomorrow if it goes to the Big 10.

Yeah, the scary part is that Kansas could be less significant tomorrow, but that has nothing to do with appreciating Missouri. If Missouri and only Missouri leaves, the Big 12 might not collapse. Even if it does, it has nothing to do with Missouri's significance or Missouri's power, outside of potential televisions tuned into the BTN.

Along with the "fluky BB NC" post and others, maybe it's a few of you who should be getting over yourselves.

Oh I know... I didn't mention it, but I don't have children yet.. so I'm talking about the future.

If the Big XII doesn't disband, the north will be dominated by Missouri and Nebraska for a long time.

Missouri is going to blow past Kansas in football for the over the next decade, beginning this year.

You honestly believe that?

The smug ****ers will just feel emboldened. You think they're intolerable now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

If this thing falls through, Beakers will reach a level of douchebaggery occupied only by Massholes and Cubs fans.

Aww, so after days of mocking and bullshit, you'll all of a sudden be the victim? Cry me a ****ing river.

Lit the fuse? What you did was get surprised by the news like everyone else, fell out of the recliner yelling "What! no shit?!? Big 10? Hell, sign me up!"

I don't think Eric Wright will ever make the HOF, but he does have four Super Bowl rings to ease his pain.

That argument works fine as well. Missouri (the state) is more desirable than Kansas (the state).

I bet Wickedson owns a Matt Cassel jersey.
