Missouri To The SEC: The Day Has Come

Missouri began play in the Big 6 in 1928, with five conference mates they knew very well: Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Over the next 83 years, they would get to know six new conference rivals: Colorado in 1948, Oklahoma State in 1960, and four teams in 1996: Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.
Next year, they will introduce themselves to 12 new rivals.
Never mind the degree to which Mizzou may succeed in their new home (we'll discuss that soon enough), and never mind the reasons behind such a move (we already have discussed it, and I'm sure we will again). This is, quite simply, the most significant move Missouri has made in, basically, a century of athletics. It changes everything we thought we knew about the future of Missouri athletics, and it changes how we look at the present. But for those most concerned or in objection of such a move, here's something it doesn't change: the past.
Paul Christman still torched Nebraska in 1939.
Norris Stevenson's long runs still carried Mizzou to victory over Oklahoma (and a No. 1 ranking) in 1960.
Joe Moore, Mel Gray and company still ran all over the Big 8 in 1969.
Mizzou still beat Nebraska in 1978, and it was still one of the greatest games ever played.
Mizzou and Kansas State still played some crazy, intense basketball games in the 1980s.
Mizzou still went undefeated in the Big 8 in 1994.
Mizzou still beat Oklahoma State in double overtime in 1997, and in triple overtime in 2001.
Devin West and Ernest Blackwell still out-dueled Ricky Williams and Texas at Faurot Field in 1997.
Mizzou still beat Iowa State in four overtimes at the Hearnes Center in 2001.
Brad Smith still rushed for ~600 yards versus Texas Tech in 2003.
Jeff Wolfert still bombed in the game-winning field goal in Waco in 2008.
Mizzou still won this game.
And this one.
And this one.
None of this changes. It all still happened, and it is all still part of a fun, interesting (and, yes, often miserable) history. Everything that has made us Mizzou fans remains the same; it is all just moving into a new neighborhood.
When the football (and basketball, and baseball, and softball, etc.) schedule comes out next year, there will be a lot of new, intriguing names on it. Odds are good that we will not notice, at first, that teams like Kansas State and Iowa State -- teams that have been a part of Missouri's schedules for a century now -- are not a part of it. We will be distracted by shiny, new names like Tennessee and Georgia. Similarly, KSU and ISU fans will be spending a lot more time getting to know TCU and West Virginia than mourning the loss of Missouri.
History is amazing; it is what makes college sports so riveting. Traditions and memories are inherent in how and why you became a fan. But those memories are memories more because of your school than because of the opponent. Missouri now sets about creating new rivalries with schools that have rather significant histories themselves. They will get to know us, we will get to know them, and after a few years, a new set of memories will have formed. Mizzou will look forward to playing Team A because of what happened in 2013, and they will really want revenge on Team B for how they lost in 2015. Rivalries will grow, and the intensity with which we have always followed Missouri athletics will not change.
Conference realignment, and the instability it has brought with it, are changing the landscape of college sports. We can mourn the role money has played in these developments, and we can take heat for our own role. But change has come. It is a brand new day for Missouri athletics, and I couldn't be more excited, anxious and ready. We say goodbye to old friends, we introduce ourselves to new ones, and we cheer on Missouri like we always have.

Like everything about the move...
except that we might lose the ku rivalry, I love that rivalry and would hate to lose it. KSU on the other hand…
I AM A METH AGGIE
Yeah, nothing in the SEC will come even close to the ku rivalry.
It’ll be fun to kick arkansas’ ass in basketball, but it won’t be the same as kansas.
I wish the seniors this year would get one shot at Former HCMA
Instead, only Bowers gets a shot at redemption.

So can kU rivalry, in some form, unless kU decides we can never play each other ever again ever.
Eventually they will get tired of losing in football and we will get tired of losing in basketball.
And it will end similarly to the Illinois rivalry, at least that’s how I see it.

We'll play them in a bowl game.

AD Alden: Mizzou Athletic Department.
AD Gill: Hi, Mike? This is Turner Gill over in Lawrence, ks! Congrats on that football national championship.
Alden: Thank you. How’s everything over in the Mountain USA?
Gill: Uh, um, uh,…great! Our football team is showing some promise, had a lot of great moral victories. Basketball is doing OK, just not as good as it used to in a tougher conference.
Alden: Don’t worry, Turner. It’ll get better.
Gill: Yeah, Mike. You’re right, it’ll get better. That’s why I called you today.
Alden: OK?
Gill: Yeah, listen: remember how Chancellor Deaton and you mentioned playing a traditional rival in Kansas City every year in football? I just got off the phone with Coach…I mean Director Osbourne up in Lincoln and he’s starting to get worried about losing to you so much since they can’t beat SEC teams. I was wondering if you were interested in renewing the Border War in Kansas City.
Alden: You do realize that we would royally kick your feathers to the curb, correct?
Gill: Well, maybe. I know moral victories against New Mexico State and Rice don’t do much in the standings or for the budget, but a game against a big time BCS level conference team really helps the bottom line.
Alden: So, you want us to play you, run up the score, and give you a paycheck?
Gill: Yeah, something like that. For old times sake, you know? Ever since the old Big 12 South headed west, we’re struggling. Plus, it helps pad your schedule.

Not out of the rhelm of possibility, although pretty rare.
I froze my assets off at an Iowa State game 20 years ago (weekend of “The Perfect Storm”) and there was no snow.
Next weekend, almost froze (didn’t because the sun came out) against OU. There was snow for that game (already on the ground), and Marching Mizzou threw snowballs at the Sooners’ cheerleaders.
Yeah, not a fan of that all. Hopefully, when we play Mizzou it will be early in the year.
Also, snowballs at the cheerleaders. Awesome.

Well, it depends on if Haith can keep the success going.
If he does, and I have confidence that he will, then we’re better than arkansas, and probably the same as. Obviously we’ve been basically the same last two years with very close games each year, and they’re probably better this year, but in the future we’re probably going to have equal programs. Florida and Kentucky are both going to be better than us in most years, and Tennessee is kind of up and down. I think we’re probably better than them, but no idea. Everybody else we’re definitely better than.

this is going to be one of the tougher transitions for Mizzou fans.
We’ve spent the last 15+ years really not rooting for anyone else in the conference. For the most part, the Big XII schools all hate each other and wish each other the worst.
It will be interesting to see how we as fans adapt.

Basically, we’re just really experienced at returning fire. If we’re not receiving incoming fire, it’s hard to be on the defensive. As of now I don’t think we have any reason to be hateful towards anyone in the SEC, so we’re off to a good start.

I suppose it is possible that we could stay in the Big XII (West Virginia will bring a wrestling squad I believe, but TCU will not) or we can explore other conferences. There are other conferences in wrestling which break away from the traditional BCS conference affiliations. We are not without options.

Couch wrestling coeds maybe?
Unfortunately, the Gators did away with our wrestling team in the early 1970s as part of our Title IX compliance program. We traded so-so wrestling and men’s volleyball for what has become one of the ten best Division I women’s sports programs in the country.
FYI, Florida and Vanderbilt’s women’s lacrosse teams play in the American Lacrosse Conference. I’m sure Mizzou can affiliate with the B1G or another conference for wrestling only. Your AD probably already has a plan for dealing with that detail.

One day, hopefully, in our lifetimes, the Lady Gators will whip the Lady Vols and bring home an SEC championship in women’s basketball. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the only current Gators team that’s never own a conference championship. Heck, even the new Gators women’s lacrosse team won the ALC regular season title last year.

There's a little dispute over Wolf Island, too.
Google “Missouri v. Kentucky”. It was a Supreme Court case circa 1870 that gave the island, which is entirely on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River, to Kentucky.
It’s uninhabited, and the roads to it are not taken care of: why would a Missouri county maintain roads to Kentucky, and why would Kentucky maintain a road in Missouri?

Oh ESPN...you just keep trying
The Big 12 took care of that and bid farewell to Missouri 10 days ago, when it invited West Virginia from the Big East to join the conference. The league did not even list Missouri among the schools it anticipated would be competing in the Big 12 next year.
But despite what the SEC and Big 12 plan, the Big East still will have a say in when Missouri and West Virginia will be allowed to star competing in their new conference homes.
Really? The Big East is going to dictate when Missouri gets to join the SEC? Seriously?

And the Big Ten didn't want them either
Which is why I always laughed at BOTC’s “Everyone is fighting to get into the Big XII” line. Yeah, because all of the other lifeboats have pushed off.
Never happened
The SEC, ACC, and WVU have all denied that WVU ever formally applied to join those conferences.
Not saying that they wouldn’t have preferred either to the Big 12 (and really, in an ideal world would have preferred a Big East-esque conference that wasn’t collapsing and somehow had Penn State — just like we in ‘Cuse or Pitt would, if we’re being honest with ourselves), but barring crazy things like the last-minute intrusion of VA politics on the first ACC raid or ECU’s annual attempts to get into the Big East, no one applies to join a conference until it’s a done deal.
"[n]ever formally applied to join those conferences"
I have no doubt that you are technically correct; it turns on the phrase “formally applied.” Do you believe that WVU did not sound out both the ACC and SEC and receive an informal thumbs down?
by Atlanta Gator on Nov 6, 2011 12:37 PM CST up reply actions
Oh they definitely sounded them out informally
But they knew the ACC was never going to be interested unless they were desperate (basically, SEC goes to 16 with three ACC schools + A&M was the only thing remotely plausible that would make the ACC that desperate, and even then they’d probably just take one of UConn/Rutgers along with SU & Pitt and call it a day staying at 12), and the SEC was probably waiting on Mizzou (if they’d stayed, the ‘’eers would be heading to the SEC, and don’t think otherwise).
West Virginia sounded out the SEC long before Mizzou was ever a viable target
Basically, the Big XII was WVU’s 4th choice, and WVU wasn’t the Big XII’s first choice either. Pitt was considered a more viable candidate when all of this started. So the new Big XII is still the marriage of convenience it always was. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t, but it is what it is.

But BOTC has become one giant Kevin Kietzman rant. No one is immune to bias, it seems.
It's all perspective I guess
They think we are yokels who are being manipulated by the Missouri Media establishment. We think they are acting like 14 year old girls who got dumped and just randomly lashing out.

Was sabotaging MU’s attempts to get into the Big Ten in order to ensure we get into the SEC now. They were probably the ones that convinced the Big Ten to expand in the first place just to get this outcome. You can’t trust anyone man.
Either that or this has all been Texas' ploy to rid the Big Equation of UNL, Colorado, aTm, and Mizzou. That is similarly conceivable as Texas always gets what Texas wants.

So teams intentionally don't score 50 there just to help out Florida's self-esteem?
What if the score is 49-49 and you’re lining up for a game-winning field goal? Take the loss instead of scoring 50?
Exactly . . .

See, this is why nobody likes Florida..
Yes, UF was the first to hang “half a hundred” on Georgia in Athens. Tennessee also did it in 2006 (51-33 final score).
Tiger fans, you’ll quickly come to learn that every history book in Gainesville, FL mysteriously starts in 1990. Of course it’s hard to blame them, given that it took them 86 years of playing organized football to win any non-cheating-aided championship of any sort.
Indeed it is that
Whole family lives in/around KC, and I used to live in Boonville. Can’t wait for some epic roadtrips to Tiger Town.
Math is fun!
For instance, 2011-1980 is 31.
31 consecutive years of living in the past! One record I hope UF doesn’t take from UGA.
Oh, come on. Don't leave your uncle T-bag hangin'.

Well, Missourians are methematicians, not mathematicians …
So it stands to reason that they would succeed in actively chasing millions and millions of dollars out of their state economy just to suck forever at football.

50 points ain't what it used to be.

KU's Chancellor comments
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little today commented on the University of Missouri’s decision to leave the Big 12 Conference:
“We’re sorry to see a century-old conference rivalry end. Missouri’s decision may have implications for fans and for the Kansas City area, but it won’t affect the long-term strength of the Big 12.”
Means nothing, honestly.
The word “conference” in that first sentence leaves him all the wiggle room he needs. It’s a tough-sounding couple of sentences that don’t really say anything about potential future contests.
So, you're a little bitter, huh?
Wow. Even the KU chancellor is getting into the act? One would not expect a Ph.D. to spout bitter words related to a sports rivalry . . . Doesn’t speak well of KU. Nor does her attempt to stir up home state trouble for MU in KC.

they sucked, they suck, leave ’em behind and never mention them again. please. if you truly hate them, just leave them in your wake. that is ALL.

this is the only thing that makes me so sad about all of this
I will HATEHATEHATE it if both sides don’t do everything in their power to keep this rivalry going
I'm biased, of course
But it genuinely seems that Mizzou want it to carry on.
I hope it does. And I think it will have even more fire and passion (if that’s even possible) as an OOC game.
But, if they say no I won’t lose any sleep over it. We did what was best for us, and we offered to carry on the rivalry. That’s all we can do.

I know
but there is a special place deep in the heart of every true Mizzou fan in which resides an eternal hatred for all things kansas.. a hatred fully reciprocated by every true kansas fan.. and it’s just something that can’t be recreated. It’s just a damned shame that either athletics department would place pride above the passion which accompanies one of the greatest rivalries in the history of college sports
So I'm at the thing at the student center

Chuck Neinas speaks
The decision by the University of Missouri to leave the Big 12 Conference is disappointing," commented Interim Commissioner Chuck Neinas. "Mizzou has been a valuable member, with a Conference connection to schools in the Big 12 that dates back to 1907. I personally believe this decision is a mistake and that Missouri is a better fit in the Big 12. Once we have received a formal notice of withdrawal from Missouri, we will furnish it to our Board of Directors. The Board will review the situation and take appropriate action.
Whatever Chuck.

Have talked to several coaches and several say they have been promised travel and facilities upgrades woth sec move.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon just issued this statement regarding Mizzou’s move to the SEC:
“Mizzou has a long and proud tradition of athletic and academic achievement, and we now begin another chapter in that legacy. This move is the result of the University’s detailed and thorough process of identifying the best opportunity for long-term stability in the future. As we move forward in the SEC, it’s important that we also maintain the time-honored rivalries that have developed over generations during our long and proud involvement with the Missouri Valley, the Big 6, the Big 7, the Big 8 and the Big 12. The Tigers will continue to uphold Mizzou’s outstanding traditions both on the field and in the classroom.”

Also have been told to expect quick stadium upgrade in neighborhood of $30 million.
what really are they going to do
close it in? add more levels?
I'm tell ya like the bath tub told the toilet stool, " I get as much ass as you but I don't have to take all that shit!"
-Dolemite
IMHO they need to make it steeper and start the stands closer to the field so that you get a far more intense and close-to-the-field environment. But that’d run more than 30 mil I’m sure.
Yes.
The stadium is not noise friendly.
I worked at Husky Stadium for 5 years. There are 3 factors that made Husky Stadium so damn loud when UW was good (besides the stands being filled).
1. Overhangs – ala Century Link Field in downtown Seattle. Inspired by Husky Stadium.
2. Stands are constructed to be pretty steep.
3. 70% of the seating is in line with the playing field (not endzones).
The problem I see with Faurot Field is that you’d have to move the stands closer and make them steeper. That would be very expensive.
"When among evil companions, try to fit in." - Wild Bill Donovan
also, as much as I love the north endzone and would never support changing it
the current configuration doesn’t help the sound amplification
To put that into perspective...
The current pressbox/suites only cost $13 million. Big changes coming!
Although it has already been said,
Welcome to the SEC. UK looks forward to playing you. I know that I do. My brother is an MU grad and I am a UK grad. The rivalry begins.

by MizzouRugby on Nov 6, 2011 4:52 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Welcome!!!
Welcome folks to the family of SEC football….. I am aware that some other sports are involved in our conference as well, but we typically tend to focus on one.
And that is football.
I am a DAWG, tried and true, but I did happen to live for a year in the town of Maryville, about 45 minutes driving time north of St. Joe’s.
I think that Fla.Gators from Alligator Army told you some of the guidelines for being apart of the SEC.
1) We are allowed and even encouraged to sling some serious mud at fellow SEC teams, but ONLY SEC teams can make fun of one another. If anyone from an outside conference, especially the BIG, decides that they want to try and talk smack, then we attack them as one unit.
2)If any SEC team is playing an out of conference opponent, then always cheer for the SEC team, this is vitally important in bowl games. Hell, I even pull for Florida when they play an out of conference opponent.
It pains me, but I do it anyway.
3) It is okay to be a fan of one team from each conference, east and west. For instance, I pull for the Dawgs from the east, because that is where I am from, and I pull for the Tide in the West, because that is where my family is from. However, when those two teams play one another, you will notice that ultimately your allegiance will always fall to one team and one team only.
4) I am sure that you are familiar with the chant. First of all, it never gets old. I really appreciate it when we destroy yet another team from the BIG in a national championship game. And secondly, it never gets old. No matter how many opposing fan bases try to get you to stop the chant.
And finally speaking of the BIG. That ridiculous rumor concerning you guys wanting to be in the BIG over the SEC is just well… ridiculous.
Make sure that it is NEVER repeated.
Welcome to family. Glad to have you.
Cheers.

To be honest with you...
I don’t think that these rules count in any other sport than football.
I could be mistaken.
Yes....
You are correct.
I personally tend to be guilty of tunnel vision during football season.
You will probably find that to be the case with your average SEC fan.
But if they are playing for the National Championship … it is pretty much a requirement.

1. The outpouring of support from fellow SEC teams on this board today. I’ve heard nothing but crap from the big XII for years, and these guys give us this kind of welcome?
2. This press conference. The SEC has actual leadership.
3. The challenge. We’re joining the best college athletic conference in the world. Bring. It. On.

Cultural fit question. Deaton brings up frontier again. I think this may be a talking point. Says we’re Midwesterners.
Machen answering same question
Cultural fit overrated. Says Florida has more Midwesterners than Missouri.
This is true.
Florida is hardly Southern by culture, outside of the panhandle. And the panhandle is FSU.
Yeah
That was basically an “SEC doesn’t care about academics” question.
It seems a few media members are trying to find contrarian angles.
Academics, culture, what else?
That’s seriously overthinking things. Strawmen.
Mizzou academic question
No changes to research alliances. SEC offers new collaborative opportunities. Hope to expand Mizzou’s research footprint. Win-Win.
The SEC...
Is not a bunch of inbred hillbillies, not all of us at least, we do have two schools from Mississippi.
We actually have quality academic resources at all of our institutions, however…
One of the reasons that I personally am stoked to have Mizzou join us is because of BOTH their academics and athletics.
Vandy used to be our go to school when we catch slack about our academic reputation, but unlike Vandy, as I said, you guys bring both a high standard in academics and and equally high standard in athletics.
It’s a win/win.

Revenue sharing question
No one wants to say “Big XII”. Alden says we’ve been fighting for equal revenue sharing for a long time. Again questions stability of Big XII. Indirectly compares six year rights deal as a pre-nup.

We’re stable. We don’t need exit fees and no one has left. So f*&k you too.

When did Mizzou become a legit target and was the vote unanimous?
Slive: Unanimous, yes. Mizzou contacted SEC early.
of course we did
it would look pretty shitty if the SEC was actively poaching teams from other conferences by taking the initiative in making first contact
"Missouri Contacted us"
You hear that Baylor, they contacted us
Deaton, how much pressure was on you?
I have no idea what Deaton just said. He’s gone full political.
I really like being in the East.

How much for exit fees and will SEC help? Deaton: I don’t know, but Mi8zzou will foot the bill.

Impact on state. Examined economic impact statements. Fanbase more excited, good for state. Mizzou broaqd statewide presence. KC shout-out. Mizzou will remain active in KC.
Thats not it.
It was mentioned earlier, but legally the SEC could be sued if it was known that they were trying to poach other teams from conferences.
Believe me if you guys were not wanted in the conference then you wouldn’t be here.
We are all very stoked to have Mizzou in the SEC.
Do you mean to say the kansas site has it wrong?
He’s 100%correct and Colorado has way more history than Missouri. You think any fan of a good SEC school gives a flying f*** that Missouri has joined their conference? As far as any of them are concerned, they just gained another fucking Vanderbilt.

It’s a boundary issue. Technically, the state line of Georgia should touch the Tennessee river, but due to a surveying issue 200 years ago or so, they messed up and shorted Georgia.
You can literally chip shot a ball from the Georgia line, into the Tennessee river at one section of the disputed territory.
It’s become a major issue because Atlanta is running out of water, and they want access. As a result, the Tennessee Governor a month or so ago, sent the Georgia governor a case of bottled water.

Oh, come on. Don't leave your uncle T-bag hangin'.
Asking for a "trophy game" is generally a way to get laughed at. Most of our rivalries do not have trophies.
At least trophies that anyone cares about. Some have been added in the last 20 years or so after one school or another hired an imported admin, but the bragging rights are all that matter to the fans.

To be fair
though almost all our conference games have associated trophies, nobody really cares about them much here either. There’s maybe a few which add an extra little bit of flavor (the arch rivalry was cute, and anything you can lord over kansas at any point you seize on to), but they’re totally afterthoughts.
Seeing as the schools lost half the trophies,
I’d have to agree.
Oklahoma can’t find the Peace Pipe, and Nebraska claimed to have “lost” the Bell although I am sure they just didn’t want to return it.

Well, it's technically true that if the Big XII crumbles we won't go to the Big Ten
Not that we’ll care. If Kansas or K-State can get the Big Ten invite, more power to them.
Ok, here are the rules
Number one, you don’t get to talk until you win. On the field. Until, then, you are to us what arkansas is to you. Though if you want to be really honest, you’re south carolina on a good day, and mississippi state or vanderbilt most of the time. You could change that rule by winning.
Number two, when Steve Spurrier comments about the world we live in, you do not get to respond until you beat him.(and the 1966 Sugar Bowl does not count, Steve Spurrier was still the best player on the field)
Number three, it is still ok to root against kentucky in basketball, but not ok to root for them in football.
Number four, Steve Spurrier is still lord.
Number five, you are now allowed to comment on the merits of the continued existence in the 21st century of Starkville, Mississippi and the whole state of Mississippi.
Number six, when involved in an argument with an alabama fan, it is usually helpful to remind them that bear bryant is dead. No disrespect to the man.
Number seven, if it means anything, I have always felt that florida and lsu were the two most non southern schools of the sec. Now, I think it is clearly florida and missouri, so feel free to use academic snobbery against the likes of tennessee, auburn.
number eight, never ever dance on the vanderbilt star after you beat them by a couple points.
number nine, keep it all in perspective and give the appropriate respect when you beat the gators once a decade. you can be happy, just enjoy your victory that year. maybe you can teach georgia how to behave.
number ten, loosen up the nation’s marijuana laws.
number eleven, Steve Spurrier is Lord.
number twelve, I don’t post often on boards, this was not preplanned, if it is lame, blame the weed. If it’s worthwhile, give the weed the credit. And welcome to the nation’s premiere athletic conference.

You will notice....
That UF fans have a real love/hate relationship with Spurrier.
They love the guy because they finally started playing football when he showed up as coach.
(That’s not totally true. They played football prior to 1990 in spite of what you might hear, but they did actually PLAY football).
But now they have to fear that the OBC will bring the them the pain every year with USC.
I must say that I would feel equally as stabbed in the back if one of our premier athletes, one of our alumni who supposedly bled red and black did something asinine like accept an offer to be the HEAD COACH at one of our rivals….
Hmmmmm……

Not all the UF fans are obnoxious like that.

Don’t judge all UF fans by that dude.

The big 8 and predecessors had been stable for decades
Fresh off blowing up their old conference, Texas is admitted… and then within a few years almost every single member of the original big 8 have made serious efforts to check out the exits, and 3/8 of them have actually made it out the door.
Tell me again how this is all Missouri’s fault?
Actually, as far as laying "fault", I've always been kinda "meh" about Missouri
When the Big 8 joined up with the SWC members, it was 3 years before I even knew Missouri was in the conference.
What’s with all the butthurt over the fault thing?
Proud of your offense? Manny badger don't give a shit!
Also, congrats on your move to the SEC
Here is hoping you find the peace and contentment you have been striving for.
Proud of your offense? Manny badger don't give a shit!
Not knowing we were in the conference is no one's fault but your own.
So pleading ignorance only makes you look bad.
The continued hard feelings come from what the inclusion of Texas and the chosen SWC survivors, and what happened after. It was good for a bit, but we always have had more allegiance to the Big 8 schools than the Big 12. As I said above, when you give ESPN more of commitment than your fellow conference mates, you lose all credibility for wanting a stable conference.
Oh noooooo, you still running that tired old excuse?
I thought FACTS had put all that garbage to bed? You still buying into internet conjecture?
I see you are into rugby? Does Mizzou have a team? Can UT share in the profits of your games? Oh, rugby isn’t profitable?
But, wait, I see you play football too – been in a lot of bowl games, have you? Sharing those profits equally with everyone? No?
I’m still confused – UT sold their 3rd tier rights to ESPN and didn’t cut you in? The greedy bastards! I know for sure, when you sell YOUR 3rd tier rights, you will want to share with everyone – right? Oh, you mean there is no market for your rights? Haven;t you spent time, money and years promoting your school to create a value for you rights? Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you had. Well, when you do we demand that you share equally with us or we will bolt to another conference – you damned greedy bully!

How To Butcher A Cow
By: Evelyn De Matias
Break Studios Contributing Writer
Learning how to butcher a cow will help you control meat production. Taking control of this task will assure that you are observing the highest quality control while raising the animal and also while processing the meat. It takes practice and to learn how to butcher a cow but in time, you will be satisfied doing it yourself because you will be able to perform the task with the least pain and suffering as possible.
To butcher a cow, you will need:
meat saw
a container
water
winch
gambrel
a hook (optional).
You will also need a gun to knock the cow unconscious.
When you butcher a cow, ensure that you do it in a room wide enough with a sanitary area for the purpose.
Fall is the ideal season to butcher a cow. Flies will not be a major concern and there may be inadequate pasture for feeding at this time. It is best to butcher a cow with an empty stomach so make sure not to feed it within 24 hours before butchering. Make a distinction for the male cow to have it castrated earlier but if it was not, then remove the testicles and the head right away before you butcher a cow. This process is done to prevent the meat from getting spoiled and tainted.
Shoot the cow on the head just midway between the eyes. Others hit the head of the cow with a big piece of wood but this is often not effective.
Sever the main arteries and veins along the throat with a knife and cut outward. This will help drain the blood easily.
Cut the flesh to remove the cow’s head using a meat saw.
Then you should make a slit along the cow’s Achilles tendon located on its lower legs to insert a gambrel to lift and hoist the animal’s carcass. Remove the feet on its joint before hoisting with a winch. With a knife, begin to slit the flesh from the Achilles tendon down to the center line of both legs. Then slice the body down to the cow’s neck.
Begin skinning by pulling the skin outward from the center line where the slit was made.Pull with your hand or use a hook as a tool and continue to pull while working the knife to separate skin from flesh. Work on the crotch area by making a Y cut as the skin is tighter here then work from the anus to the tailbone. Avoid puncturing the gut and cut down through the sternum. Remove penis for male cows then cut the meat between the legs. Then begin to remove the internal organs like the intestines, bladder, and stomach. Place them on a container.
Wash the carcass with water to clean. Using a water hose is more convenient but a pail of water will do. Also wash the floor area to maintain cleanliness and leave the carcass hanging to dry.
will you just go ahead and f**k off? kgreatthanks
seriously, if nothing else, I look forward to a new conference’s trolls. I’m pretty damn tired of these ones

gosh so that's it
all we had to do is spend a bit of time and money promoting our school, and our rights would have value. Why, if Mizzou had just tried a little harder, there might be ten, twenty, heck, forty million more people magically appearing in the state, and then they could get televisions and ESPN would want to pay us too.
I had never before realized that the large population in Texas was due to UT’s diligent marketing of athletics. Learn something knew every day I guess.
If you got 3 years into being in a conference with us and had no idea we existed, then you can’t have been working that hard to make us feel like it was worth sticking around can you?
The prosecution rests.
Are we responsible for your feelings?
then you can’t have been working that hard to make us feel like it was worth sticking around can you?
You can’t have it both ways – either we are your caretaker or not?
You want us to make you happy or you are gonna take your ball and go home?

Welcome.
UGA alumnus and fan here. I’m a huge fan of tradition and have not been thrilled by all of this expansion stuff, but given the fact of expansion, I’m very happy to welcome Mizzou (for the OP, the 1960 Orange Bowl still happened, too).
Please add men’s tennis. It’s one of the few sports in which UGA can claim consistent excellence. Plus, it’ll give you another excuse to visit the best college town in the conference and see the finest on-campus tennis facility in the country. As for basketball, we just started taking it seriously, but I understand it’s played in the same arena that’s home to our 10-time NCAA champion women’s gymnastics program.
Pay no attention to the Gator fan above who demands adoration of Steve Spurrier. It’s nice to see that UF has more polite representatives commenting here.
I’ve never been to Columbia, but I understand the town and campus are very nice. I’m looking forward to making the trip.
Thanks for stopping by, and looking forward to seeing more of you guys in the future. I hear awesome things about athens
You guys need to add some wrasslin though (did I sayed it right? Huh?)
Sadly,
UGA dropped wrestling (alias, wrasslin’) in the late 70s (early 80s?), which was a sport I had hoped to crawl on walk on to when I was a student (a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…)

Thanks!
I can’t wait to go down to Athens myself, especially to visit Sanford Stadium. I have a friend who always rants about his trip down to a Georgia game, so I’m hoping I can go and see one for myself! Oh, and when you do come to CoMo, watch out for parking, it’s not quite up to par yet.
I really want to go to Columbia
this weekend to give a final farewell to Texas.

The one thing I find funny about this is...
I know somewhere in between 75-100 Missouri fans, some of them just fans and some of them huge donors, but the one thing they have in common is that they hate that this is happening. I know many of you are thrilled and perhaps it works out great; it’s just amazing to me that in person, I still haven’t found a Missouri fan that’s happy about this move.
Here’s to 1 more loss to you in football and 2 more wins over you in basketball.
Your friends must all be ignorant.
NOT leaving was the definition of insanity.

I haven't met a Mizzou fan in person
that wanted to stay…
Give me twenty dollars.

do any of your donor friends go by the handle falcon05?
because if so, Mizzou had already lost his huge donations for eternity

The caveat is...
All but a couple of the people I’ve spoken to are from Kansas City. I would guess that part of their opinion is based on the harm this does to the city in general, as well as Missouri’s presence here going forward.
But yes, I guess ignorance is the only word that applies, because there simply wasn’t a single argument to be made for Missouri to stick around and honor the contract they signed one year ago. If you guys were Iowa state and are offered a seat, you don’t pass it up. But your Missouri, and you were always going to have a spot at a big boy table.

Maybe.
As Bill said in his more recent post, we’re riding relatively high in football right now, but 10 years ago? Not sure how good we looked then. Give us 5 years after Pinkel retires, and maybe we’ve got another good coach who’s taking us from strength to strength… but the list of schools who’ve had a good coach retire then hit a big long rough patch is high. And it has repeatedly included Mizzou in the past.
