Could Tigers Hear "no Thanks"?

Does Missouri end up on the outside of the Big 10 expansion??

If this happens and the Big 12 breaks up, could the Tigers go from Big 10 dreams to MWC/C-USA???

I really hope so. They got their panties in a wad over bowl placement and what they viewed as preferred treatment ot UT, OU, KU, and NU. Well, the reality is that they have historically been mediocre in both football and basketball. I believe that no school has made the NCAA Tournament without making it to a Final Four than Mizzou. They are the biggest university in a populous state with no other D-1 school, yet they couldn't do anything of note in the Big Eight/Big XII until Chase Daniel got there, which also coincided with Nebraska falling off the map. When they played a South school, they got hammered in football. Then the Big Ten makes overtures their way and they basically started all of this mess for the Big XII. I heard that if the Big XII could have still stayed together, the other schools were ready to kick them out. They have flaunted this Big Ten invite big time to the other Northern schools--especially the Kansas schools, but also Nebraska, but it now sounds like they are going to get left out. It would be sweet justice if Mizzou has to go to CUSA or the MWC, especially if the Kansas schools do go to the Big East and stay in an AQ league. At least KU and K-State have done something in the two main sports (National Championship in hopps, BCS bowl wins for both schools). Mizzou is the picture of underachievement--and the Big ten is realizing that now.

No, it was that back-stabbing bastard Deloss Dodds. HE caused all this.
