I keep watching the disintegration of the Big 12 with a growing sense of horror. At this point the league is no longer tenable, though not everyone wants to admit it.
However, as far as I'm concerned, there are no other options that I am willing to live with as far as the fate of Missouri athletics are concerned. Move to the Big 10? Fuck that shit. I loathe and despise the Big 10. Always have. Always will. And this isn't the good kind of loathing and despising - like the way I loathe and despise Kansas for example - its the I'd rather have my eyes gouged out with a rusty spoon than watch Big 10 athletics kind of loathing and despising. You might as well ask me to become a Cubs fan. It simply ain't gonna happen.
The SEC? I'm sorry, but what the fuck do I care about Auburn or fucking Mississippi? The only people in the state of Missouri who would care about a "rivalry" with Arkansas are Ozark hill people. Besides there is no way Missouri would amount to anything in the SEC. Who wants to be bastard step-child here? It would be like being Iowa State or something. No thank you.
But, the thing is, there are no other options.
Mizzou fans are indeed well and truly screwed.
And, yes, I'm talking about simply walking away from them as a fan. I can live without college athletics if it comes right down to it.
