I want to hear the view points of Missouri and Texas A&M

Looks like in 2023 LSU plays A&M and Arkansas plays Missouri on rivalry weekend.

That doesn't seem like it's etched in stone or anything

That is current state and has been situation since Arkansas and Missouri joined SEC.
 
West:

LSU
Texas
OU
Arkansas
Texas A&M
Missouri
Ole Miss
Mississippi State


East:

Alabama
Auburn
Georgia
Florida
UT
UK
Vandy
Scar


Let’s go.
 
Here is my guess on SEC Thanksgiving Matchups:

Alabama-Auburn
Arkansas-LSU
Florida-Florida State
Georgia-Georgia Tech
Kentucky-Louisville
Ole Miss-Miss State
Oklahoma-Missouri
South Carolina-Clemson
Texas-Texas A&M
Tennessee-Vanderbilt
Whatever weekend it will be it will be called "rivalry weekend" but it won't the Thanksgiving for much longer. They are going to shift the season a week earlier and conference championships will be played on Thanksgiving weekend.
 
It is really in the eye of the beholder. The Ole Miss-Miss State game is historical. Despite the variance in historical success, I do enjoy Tennessee-Vanderbilt games and it means a lot in Nashville. Each game has its own charm. This is why I hate the entire ranking of best rivalries. In Oregon, Oregon vs Oregon State might be the big matchup. A lot of it is regional.

Oregon vs Oregon State is not the big matchup.
 
I feel bad for Mizzou…A&M and Crooked Jimbo can go fuck themselves.


You just know the SEC is gonna segregate the 5 SWC/Big12 teams(Mizz,Tex,OU,Ark,A&M) from the OGs.
 
Hadn't heard that.
Probably won't happen until 2026 with the new CFP contract, but the idea is to move every thing a week earlier. So what they now call week 0 (all teams that play @Hawaii play that week so they can have an extra bye in-season) would be the beginning of the season for everyone. Then Labor day would be all the kick-off games. CCGs would be Thanksgiving, which is cool. Then 2 weeks off (1st and 2nd week of December) and then CFP round 1 on campus the 3rd Saturday of December.

It's a really complicated thing with the NFL, finals, Christmas, Army/Navy, etc. but moving the season forward a week seems to be a consistent idea they are talking about.

SEC won't let Texass do what they did in the Big 12, not worried about them. Just means we can recruit even more in Texas now
 
Their record over the last decade is why I don't really care. At the moment just kind of another team if we're being honest, they just don't invoke that "how the fuck can they compete against this program" feeling the way someone like Georgia does.

(And yes I'm aware Missouri is as forgetable as anyone, and Texas is a good couple years away from changing that)

I'd be absolutely shocked if Missouri and Arkansas stopped playing the day after Thanksgiving. Just can't see the SEC pulling the plug on that after trying so hard to make it a rivalry, especially since it had gotten interesting when Odom was there.

Texas is in for a rude awakening if they think they are going to come in and boss everyone around. We are glad to have them, but we were doing fine without them, and would do fine if they left. Vandy will have the same power as UT, not to mention having a winning record against them!

Seems like the SEC hasn't let mizzu do anything .... oh wait..they didn't do anything in the Big12 either

We are gonna make you run to the ACC to join lil bro GT!!!!
 
Missouri was good in both Big12 and SEC when they had Gary Pinkel. When he left, they fell back into being perennial between 5-7 to 7-5.
