Five years in, what do SEC fans think about Missouri and Texas A&M?

Five years in, what do SEC fans think about Missouri and Texas A&M? by RobertONeill We got a mixed bag of responses here. On July 1, 2012, the SEC officially welcomed the Missouri Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies to the conference from the Big 12. What do fans of the conference think of the two? We posed the question on our Twitter account this afternoon. You can check out some of the responses we got right here!
(They continue, click the link) The overwhelming indifference/despising of Mizzou is kind of weird. I mean, they’ve been to Atlanta twice! That’s pretty good. While Missouri, as a state, is far more midwest than south, Mizzou’s a perfectly fine SEC fit. I also went to Mizzou for the final year of the Big 12 and, thus, the transition to the SEC. It takes time to fit in to a new conference, especially one with the heritage of the SEC, but Mizzou will be fine. |

I'll be honest as a non NCAA fan living in UGA territory - you all need to figure out just HOW to recruit!

Better recruiting would help for sure, but fortunately the SEC east is overrated and actually not very good. If Mizzou can somehow get themselves back to mediocrity they will find themselves back in the thick of things in the East and may get the opportunity to get pounded by the west champ some more. |

Read somewhere that Mizzou has mutliple empty dorms. So many that the school is going to rent suites to people going to football games and such.
Enrollment is down? I wonder why...

Enrollment is down at a lot of universities and they are facing the same issues.
It's just more severe because MU went full on yakkity sax. That goes beyond safe spaces, though and would have to discuss things that might be more in line for DC. |

Mizzou is a better fit in the Big 10 compared to the SEC but I'll take the cash either way.

Georgia is in prime position with a rabid fan base and they still haven't played for a title in nearly 40 years. Largely irrelevant in football (just like Mizzou) ever since the mid-80s. |

Maybe, but its a shitshow that still pays a nice coin and plays historic rivals.

Five years in, my take is:
Missouri had to make the move for long-term stability and financial health. The continued instability of the Big 12 just hammers that home. They don't have to worry about playing musical chairs the next time this happens, which seems inevitable. I still would far prefer the Big 10 to the SEC because of culture and because I would rather not have to regularly associate with Tennessee/Alabama/Mississippi/Louisiana people.
