Mizzou to SEC "inevitable and imminent"

Give it a rest man. We all know you are extremely cynical. None of us care. You'll enjoy life more if you don't look for the negative in everything.
So they expect better treatment as the new kid on the block in a good ol boy conference?
They are in for a rude awakening if respect is what they seek. Message to MU fans there will always be a Texas in every major conference. The grass isn't going to be greener on the other side of the fence.
For selfish reasons, I don't want to lose Missouri because I enjoy the rivalry, but I'm tired of their woe is we attitude. They have become quite juvenile when they start removing the Big XII logo from their field. Maybe I won't miss them as much as I fear.
I'm not looking for the negative at all. It's just as bad to look for make believe positive in a situation. Besides, I am just agreeing with what he has said all along. Missouri isn't going anywhere. There, how's that for pollyanna positive?
Except he isn't saying that.
It's really obvious and kind of sad how you follow that guy around, and even try to attack the predictions he's made that turned out to be completely accurate (like OU working to force Texas into concessions).
Louisville board meeting scheduled at noon...media invited. Scheduled it before the BE meeting at 1:30pm. Here we go!!

His version has been that OU and MU have been posturing all along and were never actually interested in moving to another conference. It was a clever scheme developed by OU, MU and ISU to save the Big 12.
Don't know what he said cuz he is forever blocked (peaceful easy feeling!!!). Suspect he's trying to find holes in a plan not realizing that each plan has a process that must play out and some things change along the way. The end result is what's important and we have a good end result here, because of the execution of a good plan.

Those guys want in the Big 12. Refreshing to read their board after reading all of the negative Big 12 stuff on the Mizzou board.
I hope you're right...the teams of the old Big Eight DESERVE to be in a nationally-relevant conference. I don't think that anyone doubts that a solid stable conference is in the best interests of ISU - I just don't think the current Big 12 meets that criteria.
Even if you believe that NU, TAMU, MU, etc. were the agitators, and that their departure will leave the Big 12 more stable than before, do you have confidence that UT and OU will remain in the tent for the life of that deal? If this rights deal is so iron-clad, why didn't the B12 agree to it last year, after NU and CU left?
Ultimately, EVERY leader of every Big 12 school is partly to blame for its situation...they ALL failed to build a conference structure that would last when they had the chance. A dozen schools that are close geographically and competitively, it should have worked better for its members than it did. Now the task becomes harder, by adding schools that are further away and that don't have a shared history.
Totally agree with your comments. A big part of this started last year with their whoring around the B1G like a cat in heat. And, of course, the LHN put a real burr under their saddle. But, we all know there will be issues in the SEC. Look for Mizzou to be at or near the bottom of the SEC East for several years. They're going to have to develop new recruiting pipelines.An interesting point made in another thread on this board is that this all started as posturing by MU, and the fact that they just wanted to try to get some concessions out of TX and OU. They were just enjoying their day in the sun. Then the radical fan base (AKA internet morons) took hold and really started applying the pressure. This almost has the feel of a gigantic PUNK on MU by their "know-very-little" fan base.
This is so not true. The KC metro is hands down a KU town first. MU a ways back and KSU a little behind them. KC as a town wants nothing more then for MU to stay in the Big 12. The city of KC will always be a big supporter of the big 12 and should not be punished for what the STL and southern MU supporters want.
It is never a good strategy to allow the inmates to run the asylum, but when the Missouri administration is juvenile enough to remove Big XII logos we shouldn't be surprised.
for the 90th time. the logos were removed and replaced w the 100 anniversary of homecoming logo.
Will we have homecoming logos at JTS this week? Inquiring minds want to know.
No. but we dont have big xii logos on tye feild and we arent celebrating the 100th anniversary of homecoming at iowa state
