The moment it joined the SEC on July 1, 2012, Missouri became a bit of a black sheep.
In a league largely composed of football-first Southern schools, the Tigers were basketball-first and sort of Midwestern. Their football history was lean and largely given over to agonizing near-misses. It eventually became clear that, despite two early division titles, they were no Alabama nor even Texas A&M.
Unfortunately for Missouri, life in the SEC got incrementally more difficult Thursday. The Tigers tweeted a video giving students instructions in how to cheer ahead of their opener against South Dakota Thursday, and were roundly mocked by a conference of institutions who view fan etiquette as second nature.
