How hard will you LOL if Misery wins the SEC East?

[Red_Alert]

Why are all you texas fans so butthurt about mizzou? Its pretty odd.

They think Mizzou somehow justifies their A&M argument?

Missouri was a scrub. No one thought of them as an elite team in the B12. Their nickname is Misery, for fuck's sake.

That is why this is funny. You are making it more so, because now this thread is a classic Team SEC nut-hanging.

I didn't realize that Wisconsin was a big deal

What the fuck has wisconsin done?

1) Since when is this thread about Wisconsin?

2) Take a look at Mizzou's resume over the past couple decades vs Wisconsin's

What is notable is that you are now arguing semantics about a team you considered an also-ran in a shit Big 12 North and Big 12 conference not all that long ago.

Texas A&M and Missouri were going to be nothing more than scheduling fodder for the rest of the SEC in doing nothing more than creating more TV sets and recruits for the heavyweights of the SEC to feed upon. Now that they are in the SEC, you have found them to be more than competitive, and actually even capable of winning a division in the SEC.

You have gone from 7 straight Natty's to, ...well they won 3 of 4 Big 12 North titles before they got to the SEC, so they are legit.

Keep backpedaling. Come next year you may be chirping their tune for winning a 9th straight SEC National Championship.

You guys are incapable of making a cogent argument. I'm not saying Missouri was some giant killer when in the Big12. The facts say, that in the last 4 or 5 years in the Big12 they certainly weren't scrubs. Weren't they ranked no. 2 at some point? They were a top team in the conference when they came into the SEC, not stubs as this post contended.

I'm not back pedaling. You don't know anything about what I thought Missouri OR TAMU would be in the SEC. TAMU's been competitive but hasn't won anything. Missouri looks good to win the east after a bad first season due to injuries. But they have 5 games to play. I have no idea where you got the idea I thought they were scheduling fodder. I have greater respect for them. Apparently you don't. Don't project your thoughts on me. I'm confident the SEC wanted good teams ... we aren't the conference that picked up Rutgers and Maryland.

Wisconsin has won its league two times running now.

The whole thread was based upon the sheer shock of Missouri winning an SEC conference title.

They won 1 conference title in 54 seasons of Big 8/Big 12.

The SEC is considered the strongest league...deservedly so....

South Carolina and Arkansas as newcomers have spent 22 years of futility trying to break through.

The last team you would ever think could win an SEC title is Missouri in its 2nd season.

 

[Clayton]

What does the past have to do with this year at all?

 

[BigAppleBadger]

What the fuck has wisconsin done?

You guys last won a conference championship in 1969. We've won the last 3 in the B1G. You have zero BCS bowl wins. We have two.

Wisconsin might not be "elite", but Mizzou is an also-ran.

Quit making Missouri anything other than a Big 12 also ran.

They had a horrifically bad record vs. Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas.
They were not even remotely close to .500 versus the Big 12 power teams.

Official finishes in the Big 12:
7, 5, 5, 11, 10, 9, 10, 6, 9, 7, 5, 2, 5, 6, 4, 5

They never won a league title.
They went 4-5 in their bowl games.
They finished ranked in the top 10 ONCE in 17 Big 12 season.
They finished ranked only 5 times.

Missouri is a GREAT basketball school.
That is their primary identity.

They are a very mediocre football school.
That is why it would be frankly stunning for them to win an SEC title.

^^^^
dude i already called you out multiple times over your dumbass comment about colorado (which you have yet to own up too)

now im gonna educate you on missouri......

mizz has no final four appearances, they have only 3 modern era sweet 16s. 35th all time wins

in football they are 33rd for all time wins 27th for most bowl appearances

they have 15 conf. titles in BB and 15 in FB as well

the truth is historically missouri is neither a football nor basketball school. they are equally balanced

Just because you weren't paying attention to the notion that this team was full of Seniors and coming off a season where they were banged up doesn't mean that the SEC is a joke. This thread is just team 'anybody but SEC' which is regular for this board

No one it's giving them an SEC title yet. But look at their last 6 or 7 years. It's that how you define a "scrub" team? Because that is what this thread is about until you guys go on all these tangents.

Wisconsin has won its league two times running now.

*3 times

(and yes they only got the champ game berth because OSU was on probation, but beating Nebraska by 39 had nothing to do with that)

 

[john01992]

besides horns who else here thinks mizz is a bb school?

Yay big titles are such a BIG thing!!! We were totally screwed out of a BCS game in 2007. Not our fault.

 

[Chicago-Bama]

You're right, we usually beat SEC West teams.

LOL Alabama won more rose bowls than Wisconsin.

 

[Clayton]

We're a team that is built up from a 20yr abyss in football and currently a competitive team that still isnt quite building the recruits needed to fully compete with the big boys.

College basketball sucks now unless you get made for NBA players or have a top 5 coach. We have neither so we aren't a basketball school

 

[LawDawg]

That Clemson is getting rolled tonight doesn't help the SEC East Missouri debate...

Clemson beat a healthy Georgia.

Really. Because the transitive property in college football means so much. This thread gets dumber and dumber.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Missouri is a basketball school.

They might not be as top heavy as say Indiana, Kentucky, or Duke....but they are a hoops school.

They have nearly 20 basketball conference titles since their last football conference title.

They are probably one of the top 30 or 40 best basketball programs.

Considering there are nearly 300 NCAA basketball schools, that is relatively rarified air.

That puts them in the top 10% of basketball programs.

So now Rutgers and Maryland are shit teams. Keep digging, you haven't reached rock bottom yet.

By the way, Rutgers beat Arkansas earlier this year so they must be a damn good football team. Maryland beat the shit out of West Virginia 37-0 from that powerhouse Big 12 conference.

I live in Columbia. Both are put on equal footing but football has been given priority since we left the abyss of 4 win teams with massive losing streaks to teams like Nebraska.

We haven't been a strictly basketball school since Quin Snyder. We do have a solid basketball program but we certainly don't get the national exposure one would expect from a basketball school and we certainly can't compete with the current top programs.
