![]() You are right, I haven't been replying to anyone's points, I'm just ignoring all responses and bulldozing my way forward. If we're just going to talk past each other, then there's not much left to talk about, all we'll end up doing is annoy each other. There's a large number of fans, especially on Tigerboard, who are hell-bent on believing that nothing bad will happen to their recruiting, and there is nothing that will change that assumption except maybe a decade of results.

I think the KU fans in this thread are no longer afraid of Mizzou leaving because it will break up the BIG XII....but instead deep down they know there might a possibility that Mizzou football might just move to the next level. I think the thought of a competitive Mizzou fighting for an SEC divisional title year in year out with national exposure drives them crazy.
If Mizzou can't hack it in the SEC, then bottom line, they weren't going to hack it in the BIG XII either. At least Mizzou will have taken a chance at being something special, and competing in the elite football conference in college football. The KU fans are like the fans on here that are afraid for the Chiefs to draft a qb because it might be a bust. The Mizzou fans are the ones that are saying draft the guy, and take a shot, knowing that it might fail. I think Mizzou fans are comfortable with taking that chance. |

Missouri has been taking kids that were over looked and putting them in a position to play on Sundays. That won't stop.

If Mizzou can maintain their recruiting in the SEC, then there's no reason why things can't come together every once in a while for a conference championship. My argument is that you will likely fail in the SEC, not because the teams are tough, but because you'll be one of the last SEC options, whereas you are currently the 3rd or 4th Big 12 option. There is no way to scientifically prove that, so I guess we'll have to come back in 2021 and revisit what happened.

What's best for MU is to learn to play its backhand, not to keep getting by against a weaker opponent off one trick. You continue to misinterpret MU fan's goals in all this - we like the North titles and all - but don't worship them (like Beakers and their Orange Bowl). What we want is to simply have great football in Columbia. We know our record is going to be worse for being the SEC, but I also fully expect that we'll field teams over the coming years that would absolutely piss-pound teams like last year's and the year before's. "Spearheading the North" will stall us. We'll be a nice little program that gets on TV sometimes but never really shows up nationally. And yeah - that's probably about where we'll end up in the SEC as well, but the odds of us being something more than that improve in the SEC over the XII.

WVU has 5 conference championships in the last decade in a BCS league(The weakest BCS league mind you). Mizzou? They appeared the the CCG that one time.

LSU's former recruiting coordinator was brought to Missouri 3 years ago. He will be someone to lean on I imagine.

The Tigers would've !@#$ing annihilated the Big East over the last 10 years. But that's okay, big fella - let it all out. I know the Ron Prince years took a lot out of you and I'm sure the coming decade isn't going to be much kinder.

As an OU fan I guess I still don't get it. I'm perfectly happy in the Big 12 where we can get a national title game every 3 years or so then trying to run the gauntlet that is the SEC. Eventually they will win a few of those games and let's say Stoops ends up 3-5 in title games. I'll take that all day long. |

You said our Texas recruiting will suffer because we won't play in Texas nearly as often, but didn't respond when I pointed out that we would go from 1 game on average in TX to 0.5 games. You said proximity matters, but didn't respond when I pointed out that Columbia is closer to many deep south locales than Houston, a huge recruiting area for us. You've clearly have built into your head that Mizzou will fail miserably in SEC recruiting to help you cope. Do your thing. |
