Jesus, can no one in Missouri form a coherent sentence? Those first few posts in this thread are mind numbing....
"Many time people forgets that we have new OC that ALL the Sec laugh at us saying he won’t be good. We will see he come in and do good job with players and it will be great for Odoms and for the entire stage of Missouri. I know this because I’ve been a fan for this and that is what we do."

I consider Kentucky to be in the south.
Missouri is not a Southern state. It is just a place kids go when they flunk out of Arkansas elementary schools.
Sweat shop jobs and cheap XL honey buns.
I don't think we should go down the grammar path, a'ight?
Kentucky and Missouri were both border states during the civil war. Kentucky declared neutrality at the beginning of the war and never seceded from the Union. 35,000 Kentuckians served as Confederate soldiers and 125,000 served as Union soldiers. Missouri was controversial in that both the Union and Confederacy claimed the state. Missouri sent 30,000 soldiers to fight for the Confederacy and 110,000 to fight for the Union.
You tell me which is more southern.

Missouri is west of the Mississippi. It is neither "northern" or "southern". West of the Mississippi is a Western State.
Kentucky was not a major slave state. Neutrality was a good spot to be in for them.
Just like Tennessee. West and Central TN were heavily in favor of secession. East TN, no. The tone changed after Lincoln's call for volunteers to put down the "rebellion" after Ft. Sumter. That made the difference in TN.
Of the two, Kentucky gets the nod. I never did agree, and still don't, with having TXAM and Mizzou in the "Southeastern Conference". Neither one is a natural fit.
All about the money.
Go Vols.

I read about that, remember somewhere Tennessee came close to actually dividing in two like Virginia and West Virginia
In fact, the town Gatlinburg is named after Rutherford Gatlin who changed the name from White Oak Flats to Gatlin’sburg because he got the post office placed in his store and didn’t tell the locals he decided to rename the town after himself. (He literally only lived there for five years)
No one liked him and when he was the lone vote in the county to secede from the Union as he was a confederate sympathizer. So he was literally run out of town because of his confederate sympathies.
Don’t mess with tennessee hillbilly’s!
