Who: No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks vs. No. 3 Missouri Tigers
Halftime Score: 14-0
VS. 
Migrate over to this post for the second half. Bandwidth and comments on the other post were getting ridiculous.
M-I-Z!!!
Second-half live blog below the jump.
9:01 - And the second half begins. Instead of the high directional kick, it was a squib right at an up guy, and KU will start near midfield. Not a fan of that. My gut says KU scores on this drive.
9:02 - My wife's gut disagrees.
9:02 - Third-and-3 for KU...this would be a HUGE stop early. Not to be, as Fine makes a nice catch for the first...and Bridges with a 15-yard face mask. Ouch. KU already to the Mizzou 17.
9:04 - An incompletion and a stuffed run, and it's 3rd-and-9.
9:05 - My wife's gut was dead on. Reesing was WAY behind his receiver, Bridges picked it, and returned it to the KU 40. HUGE. Reesing is way off his game. Throat. Stomp. Now.
9:06 - Nice run by Derrick Washington on the screen pass. First down at the KU 27.
9:08 - Direct snap to Rucker for the first time in a few games. He fakes the pass and gets a couple yards before Joe Mortensen lights him up pretty good. That play worked early in the season, but it's too predictable now.
9:09 - Will Franklin with a TOUGH run to the 1, where it will be first-and-goal! KU is not tackling well...
9:10 - TD, Jimmy Jackson! Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm...I'm talking to myself, not Mizzou. 21-0.
9:13 - This is KU's biggest deficit of the season. Well duh.
9:14 - Another pooch kick, and it hits the ground...a lucky bounce, and that would have landed right in Tremane Vaughns' hands. First-and-10 KU at their 32.
9:15 - Nice screen to Briscoe for a first down...first down at the KU 47.
9:16 - Nice run by McAnderson for about 7, but I guess he was down before he fumbled. Yup, he was down.
9:17 - Dammit, Mizzou's challenging the call. That's a wasted timeout.
9:19 - Uhh, they're showing MU-KU basketball highlights during the back-from-commercial, "Brought to you by..." segment. Weird.
9:20 - Yup, wasted timeout. That, or it wasn't a challenge, and they just called timeout. In which case...well, still not a well-placed timeout.
9:20 - Diving reception by Dezmon Briscoe to the Mizzou 5. He's brought his A-game today...we almost got to Reesing again, but he made a nice throw, and Justin Garrett was burned. Moment of silence for Pig Brown. KU's earned these points...assuming they score.
9:21 - Third-and-goal from about the 1.5 yardline. Mangino? Still looking a little stunned.
9:22 - TD, Kansas. McAnderson was just a little too big for Moore to drag down in the open field. Still PLENTY of time left in the game (7:22 in Q3), and it's 21-7.
9:25 - Deep breaths.
9:26 - Maclin returns it to about the 31...he never actually had a chance to break that one, but it feels like he does every time he touches the ball. Alright, boys...keep scoring.
9:28 - After an 8-yarder to Rucker, Temple breaks a nice run for a Mizzou first down. Temple has 98 yards rushing so far.
9:28 - Musberger just called the Mizzou spread an "acquired taste for Gary Pinkel"...yeah...that's one way to say it.
9:29 - Third-and-1 from the KU 44. Herbstreit just called this an "important drive" 13 times in one sentence.
9:30 - First down, Jimmy Jackson!
9:31 - Maclin with a gorgeous run for a TD, but a flag was thrown. This pretty much has to be against us. Yup, holding on Franklin. Will has had an extremely forgettable game. And MAN did Maclin make that run look easy...just froze one guy at a time all the way down the field. But now it's 2nd-and-10 instead.
9:32 - KU brings the blitz and doesn't even touch Daniel, who calmly fires to Alexander for 17 yards.
9:33 - Nice pass to Saunders, and it's third-and-3 from the KU 17. HUGE play for KU right here...holding us to a FG would be at least a small victory. Chase is 28-for-33, by the way.
9:34 - Timeout, Mizzou.
9:35 - Daniel finds Saunders again, and it's another Mizzou first down. He's had great protection, and he's been able to consistently find his second, third, and fourth option on pass plays.
9:36 - False start on Ryan Madison...I still don't think we've had a ton of penalties today, but we've had a ton for us. It's 8 for 85...nevermind, that's a lot for anybody.
9:37 - It's Alexander again, down to the 2.
9:38 - Third-and-1 from the 2...this drive just went over 5:30...screen to Washington, and he FREAKING SCORES. HELL YEAH. KU fans all just realized "They're way better than us". 28-7.
9:40 - Another squib kick, but this one squirts through to the 25...KU returns to the 35. That's just fine.
9:41 - Nice pass to Fields out past midfield, first down Kansas. Once again, we've blanketed their #1 option (Henry), and that's opened up some opportunities for the #2 and #3 options (Fields and Briscoe). Credit Reesing for not forcing it to Henry.
9:42 - Do NOT credit Reesing for throwing one straight into the ground right there.
9:43 - Reesing is hit as he throws, and it's incomplete...his arm was certainly moving forward, but the whistle came really late. I got my hopes up for a sec.
9:44 - All-out blitz on third-and-10...Reesing avoids the rush and takes off, but Bridges cuts him off 3 yards short. KU has no choice but to go for it.
9:44 - KU's last gasp right here...fourth-and-3...and the quarter ends first. On to the 4th...15 minutes away from San Antonio...
9:47 - Alright, here we go...fourth-and-3...Reesing scrambles and finds Marcus Henry at the last freaking second. Del Howard was a step too late.
9:48 - Dammit...late pass interference call on Moore, and it'll be first-and-goal from the 10. It might have been a penalty, but the ref 5 yards away didn't call it...the back judge called it. Hate that.
9:49 - KU has to burn a timeout.
9:51 - HUGE penalty on KU...Anthony Collins tore Ziggy Hood's helmet off, and it's first and 26...
9:52 - Sulak lights Reesing up and almost forces a fumble. But then Willy Mo commits a personal foul WAY after the play. Pretty weak personal foul, really, but it's first-and-10 from the 14. We're making them eat up more clock, at least.
9:53 - Third-and-2 for Kansas from the Mizzou 5 after another nice catch by Briscoe...he has 72 yards receiving. All-out blitz forces a bad pass. You know it was a bad pass if it was too high for Marcus Henry. Dude's like 7'0 tall.
9:54 - Fourth-and-2, and KU has to go for it. Naked bootleg for Reesing, and he scores. Weatherspoon hit him pretty good, but he got in. 13:02 left, and it's 28-14. One more score for Mizzou, and I'll feel comfortable.
9:57 - Kirk is pulling for Helio Castroneves in Dancing with the Stars. Good to know.
9:58 - Jeremy Maclin just had the most exciting 5-yard kick return ever. They tried to pooch it away from him, and he sprinted up to catch it...dropped it...hopped over two KU defenders, broke a tackle, almost broke it open...then went down. My heart just stopped.
9:59 - Daniel goes deep to Maclin, and Thornton hit him a hair before the ball got there. No call. Awesome. Even Herbstreit says bad call.
10:00 - Temple breaks a nice gain to midfield, but there's a flag down, and I'm sure it's on us. Illegal substitution. Ugh. We need a damn call here. It's 2nd-and-15, and my stomach's knotting up.
10:01 - Maclin takes a swing pass and gets the first down easily. Knot loosens up. Daniel is 11-for-12 in the second half. Can't wait to see what our success rate is for this game.
10:02 - Musberger just called Russell Brorsen "Bronson"...which is way cooler.
10:03 - Nice spot for Maclin as he takes another swing pass and races to the first down marker. First-and-10, though I'd like for the clock to run on a few more of these. Still 11:53 left.
10:03 - ANOTHER freaking flag...holding on Kurtis Gregory. That's 126 yards in penalties today. 1st-and-20.
10:04 - MOTHERRUCKER. Defender falls down, and Rucker gets a first down to the KU 29. TICK...T-T-T-TIIIICK...
10:05 - Franklin drops a pass that would have gone for a first down. DAMN is he having a bad game. That brings up a third-and-6 from the 26 or so.
10:05 - Good pressure, and Daniel has to throw it away. Long field goal coming, a 43-yarder.
10:06 - Freaking automatic. Wolfert nails the 43-yarder, and it's 31-14 with 9:55 left. Hope the clock operator is an MU fan.
10:09 - Marcus Herford actually gets his hands on a kickoff for once and returns it to the KU 43.
10:11 - A couple quick passes, and KU's to the MU 42 with just 14 seconds off the clock. 9:41 left.
10:12 - Third-and-5 from the MU 37...nice fade to Meier for a first down at the MU 15. KU's WR's are making nice catches on the deep balls. TICK...TICK...T-T-T-TICK...under 9 minutes left...
10:13 - TD, Dexton Fields. Another nice fade route, and I'm pretty sure it was Justin Garrett who was once again beaten. This wouldn't be a game if Pig Brown was healthy. Just sayin'. 31-21.
10:17 - Alright, Mizzou ball at their 37 with 8:25 left. Oh, nevermind. Mizzou called timeout before the kickoff. Weird. That's their last timeout, and KU will kick again.
10:21 - It's a pooch kick, covered well, and Mizzou will take over at their 26.
10:22 - Sliding catch by Maclin at the MU 47...first down, baby. Under 8 minutes to go...
10:23 - Another end around to Maclin, another hold. Ugh. This time on Rucker. Instead of 3rd-and-2, it's 2nd-and-16. Short dump to Maclin, and it's 3rd-and-14. Oy. 7:00 to go...
10:24 - DANARIO FREAKING ALEXANDER. Ran to the first down marker, and the ball was waiting for him. Sixteen-yard gain, and it's first down from the KU 42. 8 catches, 117 yards for Alexander. My wife just pronounced his first name Dan-a-rino. I like that better.
10:26 - Good GOD do I love Chase Daniel. He pump-faked a couple times, scrambled, bought a ton of time...and found a wide open Maclin for another first down at the KU 30. That puts Mizzou over 500 yards of offense.
10:27 - Temple just lost about 5 yards, and I'm pretty sure he's back under 100 yards...under 5 minutes to go...
10:28 - Third-and-9 for Mizzou, and KU will call a timeout with 4:21 remaining.
10:29 - Chase runs for about 5 yards, and that will bring Wolfert out again. This will be a 43-yarder...
10:30 - Freaking automatic. That kick looked exactly like the last one, and it's 34-21 with 3:31 left.
10:31 - Another squib, and it's returned by Jake Sharp to the 36. One more stop, guys. One more stop.
10:32 - Kirk and Musberger are trying to come up with the craziest BCS scenario imagineable. Meanwhile, Dexton Fields makes a nice catch-and-run to the Mizzou 40. TICK...TICK...T-T-T-TIIIIIIICK...
10:33 - Todd Reesing has 316 yards passing. Who knew?
10:34 - Third-and-3 for KU with 3:05 remaining...ONE MORE FREAKING STOP, GUYS.
10:34 - Ziggy Hood almost gets the sack...Justin Garrett almost gets the pick...and it's fourth-and-3.
10:34 - Reesing scrambles to the 26...ugh. 2:47 left, and KU's got another first down.
10:35 - Garrett has another almost-pick...ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh. ONE MORE STOP.
10:35 - Meier with another first down to the 15. 2:28 left.
10:36 - Still paranoid. And Mangino's got to be wearing a 7XL coat.
10:36 - McAnderson battles to the 5 for another first down...UGH. 2:17 left...
10:37 - TD, Marcus Henry. 2:03 left, and it's 34-28. On-side kick coming. I'm going to throw up.
10:38 - Here we go. Please, please, please, please, please recover this. My wife has twirled her hair into one giant knot.
10:39 - I love Tommy Saunders. Mizzou ball.
10:40 - Temple for 2 yards...KU will save their timeout. TICK...TICK...TICK...second down will come with about 1:15 left.
10:40 - Daniel for 4 yards to the KU 35, and KU calls their final timeout with 1:15 left. Third-and-5 for Mizzou coming up. Convert this, and it's over. Don't convert this, and I'm going to pass out.
10:41 - Here we go. Gag. Temple stopped for no gain, and fourth down will come with about 0:30 left...what do you do here? Punt it and try to pin KU at the 1?
10:42 - Delay of game with :27 left, and we'll now punt. I feel so sick to my stomach right now.
10:43 - Talib fields the punt at the 3 and returns it to the 10. KU needs a miracle, but they're playing MU. Miracles happen.
10:44 - Ballgame. The entire Mizzou D-Line meets Reesing in the endzone for a safety. I will now attempt to exhale. It's 36-28 with 0:12 left, Todd Reesing has a face mask full of sod, and Mizzou's about to become the #1 team in the country.
10:45 - I just said Mizzou's about to become the #1 team in the country. As long as they field the free kick, that is.
10:46 - Marcus Woods fields the free kick. That's awesome. God bless you, Marcus. Victory formation coming.
10:47 - Victory formation, gatorade bath, #1 ranking, North title, OU in San Antonio, et cetera. Go crazy, folks. Hoo boy.

an in-game picture already...
...well-played.
Yeah, I'll just continue the live blog over here. Wouldn't be a gameday open thread if I didn't hijack it in the 'Full Story' section. :-)
Second half adjustments
-Keep the pressure up on Reesing. He looks flustered, confused, and scared.
-Shore up the middle of the field. Safeties are going to have to step up because I just don't think the corners have the speed and ability to make the plays they need to.
-Better on third down. That's been our hallmark.
We're doing well, but we've got to do better. This is a long way from over.
Go Tigers!

I'm dying.
I just got back from dinner (yes, I had to go out to dinner with my best friend's mom who was in from in Alabama). This is amazing and freaky and wonderful all at once. Let's keep it up Tigers!

She is now.
They are huge Bama fans, and they told me that they will cheer for Mizzou, but they will not say Go Tigers.

bandwidth and comments getting ridiculous
is a sign of a good blog.
anyway, i just read this on espn and thought i'd post it here. ucla still has a chance to win the pac-10 and go to the rose bowl. if ucla upsets usc next saturday and arizona upsets arizona state ucla, at 7-5, wins the pac-10 and goes to the rose bowl. this also would send hawaii (assuming they take care of business) to a bcs bowl because ucla was ranked lower than 16th.
bowl possibilities then
BCSNC: WVU vs. Mizzou
Sugar: LSU vs. Hawaii
Rose: Ohio State vs. UCLA
Orange: Virginia Tech/BC vs. at large
Fiesta: (kansas?) vs. (illinois?)

dude
you're at the half, man. If you'd have gone up 21-0, I'd call it in your favor.
But KU is moving the ball well. They're stopping you now.
KU is a boulder comin' down the mountain, man.

By the way
Also, if you're lurking, Corn, are you at all worried about hiring a guy that allowed 50 points, a bazillion yards, 3TDs rushing and 1 passing to one guy yesterday?
I mean, I'm from Arkansas, so I know how good DMac is, but geez, Pellini put him on the map again yesterday.

Lurking my ass

I don't LURK. I stalk!
hahaha
i kill myself.
Coaches. I'm not going to speculate. I'd be shocked if Pelini is our next coach. I'd prefer Turner Gill, but I'm not sure if he's ready.
I know what I want. A coach that wins. :)

gonna be hard
But hey, Gill's "Nebraska Blood" right? That should be the answer.

i agree
about ridiculous expectations.
i do.
but shit - can we expect a defense that doesn't give up 40 points a game five times a season? these guys really lowered the bar.
it's tough.
hey, mo fo's. let's talk about mizzou here.

I just told a buddy...
...that you were over on RMN, and he told me to make a white overalls comment, so...HA HA YOU AND YOUR WHITE OVERALLS! Sorry. :-)
2nd half
Adjust the D to the long middle route. Otherwise the D is great so far. Offensively, keep the running game going, it has really opened up the pass. We really should have run the ball on that 4th and 1. But, overall I couldn't be happier. I thought best case scenario, we'd be up 2 touchdowns, I just thougt it would be 28-14. M I Z !!!
apparently

I agree with rockchalk over at RCT, kU needs to score on the opening drive.
Likewise, we need to get them to 3 and out. Bad.
by Ridiculous Matt on Nov 24, 2007 8:59 PM CST reply actions
I'm not sure
I picked you guys to win this game, and I think you will. Maybe it's because they started out shell-shocked.
Maybe it's because people expected y'all to be good and NO ONE expected them to be good at football.
Mostly, I want a good game between you guys for the sake of my conference.
I want fucking respect for the Big 12 North.

Okay
But we can't give them the ball at the 50.
Let's go d! Step up!

when is mizzou going to stop short kick off?
ku starting at mid field is going to start bitting them in the ass.

if KU
is going to win this game, they're going to have to establish the run.
what you're seeing here is that year ddifference between reesing and daniel, which is why i figured Mizzou would win.
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 9:08 PM CST reply actions
I thought there was a small chance...
...that KU's OL wouldn't be able to open up any holes against our DL, but I didn't actually expect that to be the case. Couldn't be more impressed with our front four...so far, anyway.
Pistol!
I love me some JJ in the red zone.
BIG, BIG swing. MU loves them some 3rd quarter, right, The Boy?
TOUCHDOWN
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be evicted, I'm being so loud. But it's worth it!

think ku wishes they played a
tougher schedule right about now?
21-0 & they looked about as over matched as i thought they would.

missouri is just more battle-tested and superior in most aspects of the game.

OK how about in the first half
when talib punched the mizzou guy in the mouth & the mizzou guy simply pushed him back & got a 15yard penalty.
MVP of the game is Temple if you ask me
If he doesn't establish the run in this game, MU is only up by one touchdown right now. If that.

LAME
The officials should have ruled that play a fumble so it could have at least been reviewed.
Looked like the ball came out and THEN the hand went forward.
Credit John Bible, the Big 12's worst ref, for blowing that one dead when no one else on his crew did...
Up by 21 through 75% of the game?
I'm not so nervous anymore...

me neither
WAHOOOOOOOOOOO
nervousness and high blood pressure-ness is starting to be replaced with sheer relief, joy, and exhaustion.

Good move
by Mangino to speed the game up. unfortunately, Reesing doesn't have the poise that Daniel has.

watch the dump off
Need this! Let's go D!
by Ridiculous Matt on Nov 24, 2007 9:48 PM CST reply actions
i didn't see that but
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 9:50 PM CST up reply actions
well.
hell. it WAS pass interference on that one.
however, Mizzou hasn't had a call yet.
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 9:51 PM CST up reply actions
there you go
there's your call.
hands in the face?
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 9:52 PM CST reply actions
nevermind.
john whatever the f your names is, you douche.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 9:53 PM CST up reply actions
another ball game play right here
i'll be damn sure if they don't get this.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 9:54 PM CST reply actions
KU
needs to run the ball here at the end zone. Reesing is too edgy.
geez.
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 9:55 PM CST reply actions
whatever
i don't care.
gimme another drive just like the last one and we're still find. gimme a nice large helping of tony temple please.
just don't turn the ball over, that's the worst thing that could happen.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 9:55 PM CST reply actions
that's the
only thing KU is playing for now.
hoping that Mizzou puts the ball in the air. don't forget that the best corner in the big 12 is on their side.

SHUT UP HERBIE
He's killing me, with the OU talk. Every time he says something, I knock on my coffee table. EIther the coffee table will break, or my knuckles will start bleeding.
Here's the thing...
John Bible is the same guy that Mike Leach condemned a few weeks back, saying that the UT grad and Austin native was biased towards UT.
Considering that OU awaits in the Big 12 title game, do you want Bible for the Big 12 title game in hopes that the bias truly exists?
no more penalties
WE've got to step up and answer.
They won't die.
They're not doing what they need to, but neither are we.
We've got to quit with the penalties, answer right here, and take some time off the clock. We're still in control, but we've got to play smarter.
Also, I like how the kid can't pass hardly at all but he can run a yard, dive, and act like he's a fucking heisman.

Why
Why do they love kU so much?!
by Ridiculous Matt on Nov 24, 2007 10:00 PM CST reply actions
you know
i'm trying to be impartial.
they could have called pass interference on that last one. could have. but it'd been a ticky-tack call.
and the sub call, well, shit, stop doing that stuff.
you're winning.
you ain't getting no calls, though.
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 10:03 PM CST reply actions
they're
I know it was holding, but its subjective and look at how many calls we're getting against us

franklin
I'm tired of it.
by Ridiculous Matt on Nov 24, 2007 10:07 PM CST reply actions
i would kick it deep
i don't care if he takes it back, you're still up by ten with ten to go and getting the ball back to your time-sucking offense.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 10:09 PM CST reply actions
Just got to keep it up
Let's go D!
by Ridiculous Matt on Nov 24, 2007 10:10 PM CST reply actions
i'm switching over the the bama, auburn game
during the commercials. and a auburn wide receiver just got bit on the hand by a security dog in the back of the end zone. it was pretty funny.
is it me?
or does KU have a really gay fight song?
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 10:14 PM CST reply actions
Nope.
No self-respecting gay would like that song.
by chitowntiger on Nov 24, 2007 10:38 PM CST up reply actions
another great catch
we have to grind 4 minutes of clock and score.
I hate this team.
Refs let them back in on this one.
Also, Cornnation, you're about as impartial as a Husker fan always is.
by Ridiculous Matt on Nov 24, 2007 10:15 PM CST reply actions
Garrett
continues to get TORCHED. Make a play on the ball!!!
Smart gameplanning to go after him by KU.
Man, I miss Pig Brown.
Why burn the final timeout?
Especially before a kickoff?
Some kind of gadget coming here with Maclin?
whatever
i continue to not be worried about anything.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 10:20 PM CST up reply actions
We continue
Gotta rise above.
Let's go guys.

alexander rules
and omfg chase daniel.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 10:25 PM CST reply actions
no pressure
KU doesn't pressure and that's what you get.
3rd and 14, and Daniel makes them pay.
look at how sof they are on first down... asking them to pass on first down.
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 10:27 PM CST reply actions
i can see why
the guy is so good, I thought he was a senior.
i hoped he was a senior. :)
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 10:30 PM CST up reply actions
i swear it's been on like
a zillion plays where it's been 3rd and long and daniel just finds a way to get a first down. just unbelievable.
Gotta bear down
One stop D.
Come on guys. You can do it!
by Ridiculous Matt on Nov 24, 2007 10:32 PM CST reply actions
still a bit of nervousness
cuz two TDs wins it. but a lot would have to go right for KU
mizzou is one stop and/or one recovered onside kick away from me being completly relaxed.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 10:32 PM CST reply actions
it's done
Mizzou can run the ball just enough to finish it. just take care of the ball
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 10:34 PM CST up reply actions
they can take
their BCS talk and shove it up their ass.
there's a game going on. talk about it.
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 10:33 PM CST reply actions
if they don't make this fourth down
i will completly relax.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 10:34 PM CST reply actions
guy
that put his hand up on that last play - in other year, Reesing will see that play and make it.
That's why Daniel will win this game.
age. wisdom. :)
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 10:37 PM CST reply actions
that's absoluetely
stupid.
put a back in the backfield with Daniel. if he fumbles, as least the guy is there to pick it up or make a tackle.
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 10:42 PM CST reply actions
Too... Much...
Man. This is too close for me. Even with 17 seconds left.

"Eww. What's that on his helmut? Pizza?"
Best quote of the night in my living room. Luckily it wasn't pizza. It was a reference to the turf in KU's quarterback's facemask after we sacked him in the end zone for for a safety.

WE WIN!
WE WON THE BORDER WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

wow. mizzou is probably #1 in the country
never thought i'd live to see the day.
wow.
awesome. simply awesome.
that was a fun game to watch.
oh i almost forgot the best part. now mizzou has the lead in the border war. sweet.
Ladies and Gentlemen!
We let 'em back in it, but they were undefeated for a reason.
OU's next.
Ladies and gentlemen, Missouri is the North Champion!
M!
I!
Z!
by Ridiculous Matt on Nov 24, 2007 10:51 PM CST reply actions
That's why
I picked Mizzou.
older quarterback, more experience.
doesn't freak out in his end zone, that kind of thing.
by cornnnation on Nov 24, 2007 10:57 PM CST reply actions
This is when it stinks to live away from Missouri
Right after the game ended, the news immediately opened up with sad stuff. I want happy stuff! I want Chase Daniel celebrating!
holy crap
i can't even comprehend it.
missouri tiger.
border war champs.
big 12 north champs.
#1 team in the country.
possible national championship appearance.
holy crap, i can't even sdklfjsdlkfjsdl

Every other
As we've known all year, this is a different team.
We get OU on neutral ground, not in norman, and we'll be better prepared and more disciplined than we were tonight.
But let's worry about that Monday.
For a day, for a moment, for right now, let's all just celebrate the greatest win in Missouri history, in the greatest season in Missouri history.
The legend continues.

this was fun everyone
thanks for making it more enjoyable.

Huge props
to all of you guys, even our visitors from Rock Chalk Talk and Corn Nation.
Rock M Nation was on its game tonight. Loving the Live Thread participation...
reasons missouri won
turnovers
mizzou: 0
ku: 2
t.o.p.
mizzou: 37:25
ku: 22:35
3rd down conversions
mizzou: 6-15
ku: 4-13
rushing yards:
mizzou: 146
ku: 39
so we basically beat kansas at their own game, defense and a top-notch running game.
reasons to be concerned:
penalties:
mizzou: 14 for 137 yards
ku: 2 for 26 yards
4th quarter scoring:
mizzou: 8
ku: 21
i think the last one was mizzou letting up a bit after taking a 28-7 lead but the penalties CANNOT happen against OU.
by stlcardinalsfang on Nov 24, 2007 11:22 PM CST reply actions
any chance gameday follow mizzou...
...and comes to san antonio next week?
or do they go to atlanta or jacksonville or one of the pac-10 games?

Victory Whiskey! Sorry, I was trying to hook up
with the bartender. Hey, I got a number! This Chase Daniel jersey is good luck! :)
I have the entire game on tape, plus the Cally
firing, Omaha STYLE! If you want a copy, email me.
bullyforoldmizzou@gmail.com
I'll hand the copies out free as long as I have money for a tape. I can actually put it to DVD, but it may take a few days. Yeah, I work in the media. There's pro's to this for once!
sweet...
...Lou Holtz already has us losing next week and Ohio State going to the BCS championship game. That makes me feel strangely reassured.
