ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

What you say is true, but Mizzou should have always been much better than it has been in football. (Due to several factors, including the fact that it's the only major university in a state with two decently large cities.)

What Mizzou's done recently should have been the norm all along. Pinkel, for all his flaws, has built a program. They expect to be good year in and year out. Players know they can come to Mizzou and be drafted highly into the NFL... the expectation is to win. It's a shift in attitude and commitment, and I don't see it going the other way any time soon.

Yeah, you would think that with size of St. Louis, they would have recruited a lot of talent from that area. I can see both sides of the move to the SEC. Why not stick around and win something on the up stroke?

And because the House could give a sh** about MU. It has shown in how when MU needed the Big 12 to speak up for us, they got mute.

I love the thought of going to the East and having a crossover with Arkansas; freakin' love it.

As an Arkansas fan, I do as well. I'd love to head up to Columbia every other year and play. I'd also love to have our town filled up with Mizzou fans every other year. Columbia and Fayetteville are really similar in a lot of ways.

The big thing Pinkel did was to shut down the borders to Nebraska. We used to ravage your state for players, and he put a wall after he took over.

God damn Pinkel

This.

The only thing left of SMU would be a grease spot after a season in the SEC.

Are you talking about the Orange Bowl, when KU went?

Do you think the deck is not in favor of LSU, Alabama and Florida in the SEC?

In that situation it isn't. Merit based bowl slotting.

Just saw on Tigerboard that Larry Scott is making a play for MU, OU, KU & OSU to join the new PAC-16. Too many rumors out there for me.
