Do we really pine for the days when Mizzou went to New Mexico in 2006? Or played a 'neutral site' game against Arkansas State at Arrowhead in 2005? Or went to Troy State (and lost) in 2004? Or went to Ball State in 2003?

Or more recently going to Wyoming (and losing) in 2019? Or playing at Arkansas State in 2015?

None of those are memorable games, other than the losses, and did nothing for Mizzou. We either won a game and nobody cared, or were lost and it was embarassing.

If we're not scheduling non-con games against meaningful opponents like former Big 8 foes (I loved playing KSU the last couple of years, I'm looking forward to playing kansas, I want to schedule Nebraska, I'd like to play Iowa State, I'd like to play Colorado) or other regional rival teams like Illinois, then what's the point? I don't care to have Mizzou scheduling USC or Clemson or Notre Dame or someone like that who is a big name that we have NO HISTORY with. I don't care about playing B1G/ACC foes that are equal/lesser than us like a Purdue, Indiana, Virginia, NC State, etc. There's nothing exciting about that; not compared to regular conference games against Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, etc.

Schedule an old B12 team as often as we can for a non-con, play the other 2 or 3 non-con games against the worst possible teams, all of that at home or neutral. Mizzou's popularity and success will be forged in the SEC, not elsewhere.

                                   I was exaggerating to make a point - Genco98 MU - 8/6 09:27:50
                                        When you are exaggerating try not to use the word - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 8/6 09:56:07

                              Who has? (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 8/5 14:46:52
                                   Let's see Alabama played Texas last year - Genco98 MU - 8/6 05:56:58
                                        The question was, who has played MORE THAN 1 P4 team - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 8/6 08:56:45

                                   I'm just of the camp that you need to play some high - Genco98 MU - 8/5 13:31:51
                                        Looking over most other SEC schedules - FootballRefugee MU - 8/5 13:38:59
                                             I was critical of Georgia last year - Genco98 MU - 8/5 13:53:44
                                                  Nothing has changed with regards to scheduling when - alwaysright MU - 8/5 17:20:38
                                                  So 7-6 Wisconsin is an ok opponent but a 9-4 - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 8/5 14:13:21
                                                  that's not how it works - FootballRefugee MU - 8/5 13:58:26
                                                       Then how is the SEC superior? - Genco98 MU - 8/5 14:21:25
                                                            Are you serious? - FootballRefugee MU - 8/5 16:44:30
                                                                 Yes they have proved it most years with key OOC - Genco98 MU - 8/6 05:50:09
                                                                      your view is wrong - FootballRefugee MU - 8/6 13:23:13
                                                            Alabama doesn't play 2 decent P4 teams every year. - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 8/5 14:45:00

     That’ll be a sellout if Drink does what’s possible this year - BurgTiger MU - 8/5 11:47:25
     Great - Columbian Gold MU - 8/5 11:27:49
     We should never play a non SEC/Big10 on the road - ZouMiz STL - 8/5 11:26:36
          disagree. there are teams/locations that make sense to play - phrejd KC - 8/5 11:40:45
