I won't get into how disappointed I am that KU beat the Tigers this weekend. I could sit here and pick the game apart, and fuss and moan over play selection, blown coverages, and just overall sloppy play. But no, I am going to rise above this, and focus on the opportunity in front of us.
I am referring to the Big 12 Championship game next Saturday night. The experts will tell us all week that Mizzou doesn't have a chance against the mighty Sooners! But hey, we all have to keep in mind that this is football. This is a game, and as we see, week in and week out, in college and pro, that anything can happen.
Are the odds of Mizzou beating OU very good? Well no, but it can happen. I guarantee you one thing. There's a team from Texas, and a lot of Texas fans that will be cheering for old Mizzou. If the Tigers can upset the Sooners, then it sets up a shot for Texas to make the National Championship game. Which makes sense because Texas did beat OU on a neutral field.
Anyways, we'll not get into the whole BCS ratings, and who beat who, and what not. The point is how cool would it be to finally topple the mighty Sooners, and get just a bit of respect back for the Tiger program. We obviously haven't done ourselves any favors this year by losing to OK State, and now Kansas. We could easily be 11-1 right now, but again, I am not going to get into what ifs because ultimately, it isn't relevant. But, I will say, go Tigers! Lets provide a BCS buster, and give the BCS big shots a real challenge when its time to pick who plays for the ultimate prize.
If there are any MU fans that wanna jump in on this, and throw me some comments, feel free. If you are an OU fan, and wanna slam me, and tell me how bad your gonna beat MU, wear it out. And last, but not least, any Texas fans that wanna tell me how they got screwed out of playing the Big 12 championship game, I am all ears. Isn't college football great!! :)
