And I say that as a reasonably rabid Mizzou fan myself. Just ain't happening. Mizzou to the Pac-Whatever would be a bigger deal for the university than it would be for the conference. Likely also true of the SEC, but who knows what's happening with that.
If they were to leave the Big-12, the Big Ten makes the most sense, but it doesn't sound as if the Big Ten is all that interested. The impression MBBF's posts create in my head is the fat kid at the sandlot going "C'mon, guys, pick me! Guys! C'mon! Aw, what the hell was that? Pick me, guys, pick me!"
Is he any good? Maybe, but he's so god damned annoying that nobody wants anything to do with him.
And if I weren't a Mizzou fan myself, that's exactly the vibe I'd be getting from the constant breathless "Missouri is talking to *this* conference now!" updates.

I'm with you here as well. All the national stuff I read has Mizzou as a footnote along with V-Tech, Clemson, G-Tech... A&M is the big story and is the one that is controlling the destiny of the big 12 right now. But I do think the Mizzou hatred is probably stronger on FOFC than just about anywhere else on the internet (except maybe phognet
). It kind of sucks because it would be fun to have a sensible talk without all of the nasty back and forth. (And yes I am aware of the main reason for this)
