Scarlet Overkill Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Text I got from ESPN: ESPN NCAAF - St. Louis Post Dispatch: Missouri AD Mike Alden denies report of potential move to SEC Another link of Mizzou dissmessing rumors of Mizzou heading to the SEC Mizzou says "No no no" to rumors Probably "damage control" before it's officially announced -- must still have some egg on his face from the B1G debacle.

AgMarauder04 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Also, several SEC schools are said to be voting no to Clemson and FSU...they want to be the only SEC schools in their states for now. Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Also, several SEC schools are said to be voting no to Clemson and FSU...they want to be the only SEC schools in their states for now. That doesn't make any sense because Auburn is in Alabama and Vanderbuilt is in Tennessee so theres already two different states that have two teams. Why would adding a few more be a bigger deal?

Because Florida can use the SEC to differentiate itself from Florida State and so can the c$%ks with Clemson. "Hey potential recruit, we understand you like maroon and yeah a mascot with a flaming spear is kinda cool, but do you really want to spend 4 years playing in that weak ass conference and never live up to your full potential? Yeah that's what I thought, come play with the rest of the big boys." Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Unless the board of the regents at Missouri are meeting sometime in the near future, i would dimiss the rumors of Missouri leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. Along with Florida State. Quote Link to comment
RednScarlet Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Down here in SEC country, things I hear are A&M would be welcomed, as would be VT. No one has much good to say about Missouri. I think a 4 team deal in the works: A&M, FlaSt, VT, Missouri - with Clemsen out. We'll see I guess. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Everyone is talking on Twitter. Lots of tweets that TAMU will regret going to the SEC. Am I the only one that thinks any statements like that are absurd? Texas A&M is in Texas, and would be in the premier college football conference. The deadliest combo possible. They are a few years away from being a freaking POWER HOUSE...in my opinion anyway. Quote Link to comment

A&M though will differentiate themselves from the other two big time with a move to the SEC. It'd take a few years to be a powerhouse, but hell even Florida used to suck, look at what being the only SEC team in a state that's fanatical about football and has a huge population base can do for you in that conference.

gratefullred Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Gottlieb reporting Mizzou will not join SEC. I can't believe they would turn down the SEC. Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Gottlieb reporting Mizzou will not join SEC. I can't believe they would turn down the SEC. They still want Big Ten. Quote Link to comment
IlliniHusker Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 First - I'm so glad that NU decided last year to go to the B1G. Can you imagine the mess we would be in NOW if last year Mizzou had gone to the B1G instead of us? Second - I'm presuming that the TAM move is motivated by the Texas Longhorn Network (TLN) rather than any moves made last year by NU & CU. I'm just amazed that other Texas schools (and OU) didn't raise HELL when Texas got their own TV network. That was BS and no one seemed to say anything about it until the TLN announced they would also show high school games! Mack Brown had the audacity to say that showing HS games would not give Texas a recruiting edge. Can you believe the BS? Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Husker-x, what trouble have we gone thru to establish Iowa? We haven't done a thing, it was all the media that done the work. The most that was done by the big10 was name a trophy for it and I am sure that was pretty easy to do. Personally I would rather have Mizzou then the squawks. I believe they would give us more of a fight. Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Gottlieb reporting Mizzou will not join SEC. I can't believe they would turn down the SEC. That's assuming they have an offer? Do we know they do/don't? I'm on record as wanting them in the B1G if the UTerus conference dissolves. Quote Link to comment
redblooded Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Once speculation gets to this point and actual media start trying to report rumors you cant really trust anything officials say anymore. National media circus tends to illicit nothing but flat out denials. Plus the information tends to start coming out of other athletic departments. Like the Mizzou to SEC offer with a sunday deadline talk was coming out of Oklahoma mainly as they were "scrambling to see if Mizzou was still committed to the big 12". Quote Link to comment
