  MUtigers.com: Final Road Test Awaits the Tigers in Ames

  The 2010 Tigers have already earned distinction, as they are just the 13th team in Mizzou Football history with 8 regular-season wins. Hoping it doesn’t stop there, the Tigers will be going for win #9 on the year Saturday in Ames, a win total that has been reached only six times in MU’s previous 119 years of existence (began play in 1890). The 9-win seasons include:

  • 1899 (9-2)
  • 1960 (11-0)
  • 1969 (9-2)
  • 2007 (12-2)
  • 2008 (10-4)

  Head Coach Gary Pinkel, with two 9-win seasons, is currently tied with College Football Hall of Fame Coach Dan Devine for most 9-win seasons in MU history, and a win Saturday would make him the first Tiger coach with three. He’s already the only MU coach with two seasons of double-digit win totals.
