Damn Jarhead. I'm trying to assist here, but if you yankee mother fuckers don't know how to serve tea with sugar in it? Fuck Missouri.
I am by no means a "southern boy" or "country boy" or "redneck."
But I understand that what makes the SEC special is that we share a culture together, and our culture is heavily based around football.
What makes the South great is its family atmosphere, food, alcohol, and pride. It's the twang in our voices (even the least southern Southerner has a heavy twang when living up north). It's the fact that our women are exposed to sunshine. We don't experience much snow. We're all a few hours from the beach.
Missouri just doesn't fit. Texas A&M's close. They're acceptable. I see the potential to train them much like the hillbilly country of Arkansas.
But Missouri? North Missouri?
Analyze the colors of the SEC. We're vibrant. We pop. We have pizzazz in our uniforms. We're instantly recognizable. Easily distinguishable. And we're original.
Missouri? Industrial. Brown. Like Purdue. Like mud. Our uniforms reflect the gardens of the South that bloom deep into the fall season.
Missouri represents the sludge of a gray, dark, cold winter.
To sum it all up? I don't like Missouri. Not as a Big 12 team. Not as a Big 10 team. And certainly not an SEC team.
To add - Does Missouri even think about college football in March? April? June?
