I've always been closer to Duncan's POV - !@#$ everyone else in the conference unless it somehow makes us look better. Come bowl season, I would root for the IIX teams (except for KU, KU can always eat a dick, even if they're playing the Taliban). And if Mizzou was going to be playing a tough game, I'd prefer see that opponent be ranked to help our strength of win or loss (and hopefully not anger the opponent we were soon playing).
But that had nothing to do with pride in the conference, just wanting to see Mizzou's standing elevated.
We'll see if that changes in the SEC. I can say this - I already want Arkansas to lose every game it plays (it's amazing how easy that transition from KU to Arkansas is going to be; Petrino makes that one easy program to loathe) and I don't think I'll be sad to see LSU stumble here and there either.

This especially when I've met Razorback fans that are already talking **** on us. If they get DGB as well I'll have more of a reason to hate the Arkytards. I want to see him stay in Missouri.
