The Missouri Tigers were unsuccessful in their SEC debut against the Georgia Bulldogs last weekend. Mizzou hosted the Bulldogs at Faurot Field but fell short in their conference debut by the score of 41-20. While it wasn’t exactly the debut the Tigers had hoped for, Missouri fans enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to continuing their play in the SEC.

This week, the Tigers fans took out an ad and placed it in the Athens Banner-Herald.

While you would immediately think that it could be some trash talk involved, the Tigers fans were classy in defeat and thanked the Bulldog fans for coming to the game and making the experience at “The Zou” an enjoyable one. It’s too bad there aren’t more college fans like this.
