Wow. That's about all I can say. Yesterday's loss was definitely not what I nor any other Tiger expected. Is this a lesson to always be prepared for the unexpected? Maybe so. Especially with such a big rivalry. I guess this proves that when you play with heart you can overcome your weaknesses.

Starting the Countdown
T-12 hours before the big kick-off!! I'm so sad that I won't be able to attend the game this year, but my heart is with every single one of the Tigers and all the fans. I can't wait to see it. I know Mizzou will just blow kU out of the water. There's just no doubt about it. The rivalry is so incredible, and it will be great to win yet again at Arrowhead. So I leave you with this: M-I-Z, Beat k-U!

It's All About Them Dolla Dolla Bills
Gary Pinkel is certainly reaping the benefits from Missouri's first back-to-back division titles since the 20s. The Associated Press reported that Pinkel's new contract is going to give him a big raise: from $1.85 million to $2.5 million. The deal isn't complete, but regardless it looks like good ol' Gary will be living more than comfortably (not that he doesn't already). But despite the fact that he'll be around for while longer, some of his coaching staff won't be. New Mexico is looking to steal Dave Christensen (Pinkel's offensive coordinator) and apparently the defensive coordinator is being sought by other schools, too. I guess the seniors aren't the only ones graduating. Read the SI.com story here.

Big 12 North...
Champs again?? Or are you all too scared to jinx it? ;) It's going to be cold in Ames Saturday!! Highs in the mid-30s with flurries and wind! Nice... Anyone remember two years ago? The game that ended up not counting... what a joke.

IT'S COLD!...
And it's really time for football weather... Yeah, yeah it was chilly during homecoming against Colorado, but this time it's going to be really cold, especially at night. I'm ready for the last home football game, senior night and seeing everyone blackout the stadium!

To Follow Up...
Yes, Kat, they do breed them better in the South. Although, I am biased. But you have to remember that a lot of Southerners travel to places like the Midwest to play football (Chase Daniel, for example). I think the problem with Baylor (or advantage if you're a Baylor fan) is that new quarterback. Griffin is almost the new Sam Bradford. He's young and inexperienced, but I see a lot of potential in him. It's a scary thought. Baylor actually making a comeback?? Definitely not a possibility anyone would have expected.

Some Fans Are Thinking...
that the Tigers are still hung up on the OSU loss. I read on Tigerboard, and it's a good theory... especially after that close game with Baylor. Let me repeat that - BAYLOR. Do they really just breed football players better in the south or what is it? I never thought the once ranked 3rd Missouri Tigers would come that close to a barely known Baylor Bears football team.
