Well, here it is. After much anticipation, I've managed to squeeze the greatest football season in Mizzou history down to 8 minutes. I have to say, I knew going in that the first song would be met with resistance but I felt it worked and ultiamtely I'm very happy with the way this turned out. And since I do this, ultimately, for my own enjoyment first I guess that's what counts. How's that for a pre-emptive strike against the invevitable complaints?
But forget all of that. No matter what I did with this, it can't do justtice to how great of a season Mizzou had. They are now the Gold Standard, pardon the pun.
I can't live up to this game. What an amazing experience. I can't even put words to what it felt like there. I've never been a part of anything like that. May never again. How glorious.
This team is different. This game proved it. We've now officially had an outstanding season that we can all be proud of. This 2007 team will be the litmus test by which ALL future Mizzou teams are measured against.
And I, for one, want that to be the toughest %&$@ing test anyone could EVER take! BRING ON kansas! WE ARE NOT IMPRESSED! WE ARE NOT AFRAID! WE ARE NOT ABOUT TO LOSE TO YOU!
It wasn't easy, it wasn't pretty, and it was another 14 point victory. We're becoming very spoiled very fast. Many of us have said how crazy it is that the best QB in school history (Brad Smith) has been followed by the best QB in school history (Chase Daniel). The same goes for just how we view the overall team. 14-point victories are viewed as "struggling" when even 2 years ago we would have KILLED to have them. This is a good thing. The fact that so many of us are expecting big wins shows how our perceptions are changing. And if our perceptions are changing, everyone elses must be as well.
I think this may be the latest I've gotten one of these out, but I had to wait for the Replay Show and it didn't air in KC until Wednesday evening. Better late than never, and STILL got it in before the next game. Count it!
