I was born and raised in Missouri. I have lived 36 out of 39 years of my life in Missouri. I grew up as a Missouri fan. I have lots of friends and family that are Missouri fans. Everyone I have talked to has told me that they do not want to go to the SEC, but they want stability. They are pretty much torn. They are concerned that if they don't leave, they will be in unstable conference. I don't agree that the Big 12 will be unstable, but I think it is more stable without Mizzou in it personally.
You're out of your damn mind. OU won't get an invite without a 14th team. OSU is not getting into the Pac based on academics. If UT goes indy, OU is stuck with the Big 12.
SEC! SEC! SEC! Have fun with a worse record than ISU, jack ***.
I can see why you would want to play Luavuhl.
There's no danger they will beat you by 35. Shoot, there's no danger they will beat anybody in the Big 12-2-1-1+1+3.
I see you have been hanging out with the A&M crowd using their conference lingo. :SLEEP:
Quit changing the subject. You scoffed at the idea of replacing Mizzou with Louisville and insinuated the Louisville is a joke compared to Mizzou. I presented a simple fact that can be argued to counter your assertion.
OU will leave this freak show asap. Matter of fact, I've already been hearing chatter that they may try to take Mizzou's spot as #14 in the SEC.
They would be in the PAC right now if Larry Scott would have gotten his way. Unfortunately, their arrogance turned off PAC presidents.
I appreciate you posting. I really do.
But ISU is going to do just fine with the new B12 contracts, as would Mizzou if they stayed. If we get the Fox money flowing, and a new Tier 1, I would venture to guess ISU makes more money than Mizzou short term. You aren't getting a full cut in the SEC for many years. The money won't be that much different at the end of the day, and you lose a lot in convenience, plus your bball program is going to be hurt, you lose your best rivalry as well. Plus you already have Alabama telling you what to do. Isolated as the northernmost school, which I can assure you is not a good position when the recur ting base is in the south.
This is a huge risk for Missouri, really no argument about that. Could work out well, could be a disaster, hard to say. But making the move is a gigantic risk.

Sorry, but that is not true. OU knows that Big 12 is the best place for them. They will be making just as much money or more. They have less obstacles to the BCS. Their concern was stability. As long as they know there is stability (through the rights agreement), they are going nowhere.
2nd Pac is not adding anyone anytime soon. They have no reason to. It would both dilute their television contract and add more barriers for USC and Oregon to get to BCS games. It would also lessen exposure to LA for Arizona and Mountain schools. They will not get the votes.
UT has no reason to ever go independent. They have continuously said that they don't want to. The media is the only one who ever mentions UT going independent. Their other sports would be relegated to a minor conference and they would have a tough time scheduling (see BYU). They would have no AQ to the BCS or a playoff. (The conferences are in charge of BCS and would not do UT a favor).
The media likes to brainwash you into believing this crap, but it isn't going to happen. OU and UT are going to be part of the Big 12 and the Big 12 will outlast me.
Now just leave so we can get on with our lives.
The people with actual power in conference realignment. OU is not getting into the Pac.
And you're hearing chatter about OU taking Mizzou's SEC spot?
Ok. I'm hearing chatter that ISU is almost guaranteed a spot in a spot in a 16 team Big 10 if that ever came to fruition. And Mizzou will now NEVER have that opportunity.
Nice deflection. It's fine for you to ***** about Mizzou's lack of BCS appearances, but you can't take it when your school's lack of success is the subject. Well, here's the deal. Mizzou would have matched Luavuhl's total if this freak show of a conference had done their job in 2007 instead of stabbing us in the back. Instead our whiny little neighbors from Kansas whored their way in.
That's why their cries to "remember our precious rivalry and tradition" is so idiotic. They would knife Mizzou in the back in a heartbeat if another conference actually wanted their sorry school.

Why do you feel the need to fill screen after screen with the oversized picture?
Well, to be fair, both of your schools fan representation is sad when it comes to bowl games.

Voices in your head are not a reliable source. Neither are biased Mizzou writers or fans that want you to believe that the Big 12 is going to fail at every turn.
Give it up. OU is going no where. They are not leaving. They don't want to leave. It is not in their best interest to leave. No one has ever given a valid argument why it is in OU's best interest to be in the SEC or PAC 12 over the Big 12. Yet they keep saying, OU will leave. It is an worn out tired argument that has no merit.
Now leave. Both this message board and the conference. Your are growing tiresome.
