There are some that figure Missouri’s football program might fall back to the pack since they are moving to the SEC. There is one thing that could change that perception and that’s recruiting, the lifeblood to any program. The Tigers don’t have much of a tradition before head coach Gary Pinkel came to Missouri, but he has turned things around in a big way. They...

Missouri will be bringing a new look with them to the SEC next season, as the team has unveiled new uniforms for 2012.

Missouri is going to the SEC. This much we know. How they will do on the field in the SEC is another matter entirely.

Threw...

The announcement came as no surprise, as Missouri and the SEC have been in discussions for weeks. The release said the SEC member presidents and chancellors had voted unanimously to bring Missouri on board as its 14th member. The...

The SEC announced Sunday that Missouri would be the 14th member of the conference ... including the third school nicknamed "Tigers".  Mizzou will oddly be placed in the SEC East division for now.
