This board would insist that their scholarships be pulled immediately and be forced to wear the scarlet "L." We are not UNM. This is OUR STATE flag.Quote:

Well honestly nothing I've read to this point makes me think he should have as to this point the only things I've read point to isolated incidents that probably occur multiple times on every large campus in the US. Not saying any of it is every right or condoning it but the school president can't issue statements or take public stances for every bad 1:1 encounter that occurs.Quote:

Missouri is actually a very conservative state at least in terms of values.Quote:

And no, Missouri has no business in the SEC. Anywhere the teamsters are picketing every entrance to the stadium is not SEC country.
Sounds like some serious butthurt to me. Someone yelled a slur? It sucks, but holy shit. Shrug it off and move on. Whiny bitches, so far as I'm concerned.Quote:

To the folks saying kick Mizzou out: they won the East two years in a row and gave Auburn a run for their money a couple of years ago before they lost the title game to FSU. Mizzou is a good program and Pinkel is a really good coach. Mizzou is solid in the SEC as far as I'm concerned and having them and A&M in the conference has been good for the league. Opinions vary I guess.
This thread should probably be moved to the Political board, even though I don't have access. Especially for the ridiculous comments about the state flag.
Mizzou wanted to go to the Big 10 but the Big 10 didn't want them. I'm not exactly sure why- in addition to the St. Louis market as you mentioned, they would have gotten a lot of the Kansas City market plus the entire rest of Missouri.Quote:

Like JWS said, they brought Nothing to the SEC B
I think they can compete in the SEC, but it's going to take them awhile to get up to speed in terms of facilities and things of that nature. South Carolina and Arkansas also took a few years to adjust as well- and both of those teams had some success early on as well in spot when they first joined the SEC.Quote:

You made it political.
And you are ridiculous.
They still brought nothing to the SEC we don't already have. They are a square peg in a round hole.Quote:

Anf for the record, were it not for the expansions that created the new TV deal & SEC Network, we'd still be one of the Little Sisters of the Poor of college football. The expansion helped us maybe more than anyone in the conference.
There's been some regrettable shit said in this thread....wow.
Are you really surprised?Quote:
