Reality is football, with perhaps the exception of the Chiefs, just isn't as important a part of the State of Missouri's culture as it is in the cultures of most other SEC states. That was the case in the Big XII, i.e. the state of Missouri versus the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. And its certainly true in the SEC.

The impact of this cultural difference can be seen in virtually every aspect of the Tiger program from the number of football prospects produced by Missouri high schools to support and interest in the Tiger program. Mizzou is at a disadvantage to virtually every other SEC school in this regard.

And that is why visiting fans from SEC blue blood programs will likely make similar statements after every game in Columbia for the foreseeable future.
