Well, it is Missouri. Anybody who has had "discussions" with Rasputin should probably take that experience as a warning about the state. I have to admit my dad is from KS - not far across the line and in old John Brown territory, I might have been a bit biased by my grandparents.
I'm not sure Ga Tech would want to come back to the SEC - they left in the 60s as I recall. They used to be a staple on the UT schedule at least into the mid 60s. Seems like they didn't care much for Bama and the Bear - shocking I know.
