Piss on them.
We weren’t good enough for them in 2012 and now they need our help. It will help the Big 12 but I have ZERO respect for that school.

feel the need to agree!

Very glad to have them back for just wrestling. Our conference needs this type of addition and it will help our drive to build back a title contender in Stillwater.

Do you think that the Tiger wrestling program wanted to go to the MAC? That was about their only choice when the Missouri U administration chose the SEC. It looked as if the B12 was about to break up plus Texas was/is doing as they please. Football & Men's BB were the only sports considered. The wrestling program didn't have any say in the matter. This addition will strengthen the wrestling conference.

Doesn't matter. Their school and athletic department contributed to the destabilization of the Big 12. Their leadership tried (and failed) to get into the Big Ten before either Colorado or Nebraska left.

As far as I'm concerned, they can pound sand.

That’s true but it’s a different DA completely. They came to their senses.

probably a good thing...we need another doormat.

I'm probably missing your point because Missouri has an outstanding wrestling program and the very last thing the Big 12 needs is a doormat.

 

[oberebo]

This is great news and strengthens Big 12 wrestling immeasurably!

Glad Mizzou is back in wrestling. They will increase the competition.

so, it looks like they aren't a doormat. First time I've been wrong. Seriously, they look nothing like a doormat, my mistake. I just never heard much from or about them during the season. I do just look occasionally, however.

 

[Wrassler17]

So with Mizzou in the Big12 now, do we replace them with a standing out of conference opponent? Maybe schedule ASU or NCST every year.

 

[OSUMatFan]

I like the idea of a trip to NC to wrestle NC and NC State. Lots of tough competitions and they could reciprocate with a trip to wrestle us and OU.

 

[ionel]

But will they show up and wrestle. They were a no show duck in 2021.
I say "show me."

 

[turfpoke]

I don’t like that Mizzou left.....BUT, it’s nice to have another solid wrestling school.

 

[Mrgrapple]

Not a fan of the style Missouri wrestles but it’s good to add a top team to the Big XII.

Hope there were some penalties built in to the agreement, to discourage them from leaving again.

It makes way more sense geographically than some of our affiliate programs.

However, having TWO Coach Smiths in the conference is going to be confusing. Missouri's coach Brian Smith needs a (friendly) nickname. Coach BS?

I remember this long lanky kid that Missouri had in the late 90s, early 2000ish. So tall, nobody could get to his legs and his cross body ride was a beeeeeast.

For the guys on our team who have trouble getting out of the bottom position, mizzou will provide a stern test. I’ll never forget when Alex was ridden out by a mizzou wrestler and he looked absolutely helpless in our duel. A few weeks later at Nationals, Alex chose bottom to start the second and he was out in a second and destroyed the mizzou kid.

I've said it before; I don't know why we've been wrestling them all these years since they left. No respect for the team. All I need to say is Asscream
