Lowly Missouri has earned distinction among the most awesomest collection of football powers (the almighty SEC) two years running?
Sorry, but I watch ESPN, and I know that any team from another conference joining the SEC would immediately be relegated to homecoming bait, suffering the indignities of 55-0 beatdowns. So how did this happen, especially a program such as Mizzou's, which hasn't won a conference title since 1969 (a tie with Nebraska in the Big 8)?
Color me shocked! M-I-Z
