[Magdalen] Football Question - No Anglican Content.

[Jon Egger]

It sure isn't geographical or institution rated.  U of Missouri-Columbia,
left the Big 8 and joined the SEC.  This surprised lots of folks because
academically and geographically MU is more of a Big 10 team...and,
personally, I'd love to take a drive to Columbia to see MU play my Golden
Gophers.  SKI-U-MAH!
