[C]ries over Missouri’s impending demise are sincerely unfounded. This isn’t your father’s Missouri, a fact that seems nearly universally overlooked on a national level. This isn’t even your older brother’s Missouri, when the Tigers scuffled through the Big 12 like Sisyphus, winning eight games every odd year before rocketing back down to Earth.
This is Missouri, 2012, and Missouri, 2012, is unlike any Missouri in program history. Winners of 56 games over the last six years. Winners of eight games this fall with an unknown defense, crippling injuries along the offensive line and a rookie starter under center.
This is Missouri as built by Gary Pinkel, and the Tigers aren’t going anywhere – SEC or otherwise.

Bill I posted this article early this morning as a FanShot then deleted it
because I wasn’t sure if it was something you’d like to personally post or if it would be too “spammy”
I’m glad my first instincts were right but happy you put this on here because the paragraph:
This is Missouri as built by Gary Pinkel, and the Tigers aren’t going anywhere – SEC or otherwise. Only those still living in the past – those who haven’t followed the program’s development over the last six years – think Missouri’s going to get chewed up and spit out by the nation’s premier conference. Those who’ve seen the program climb through the Big 12 know that Missouri’s ready for the challenge.
had me ready to run through a wall. I’m pumped for the SEC.
You either die a Tiger, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Jayhawk.
