When you’ve emerged from an extensive blah-blah–blah period of mediocrity and irrelevancy to become a semi-famous college football team, benefits come with the unforeseen 7-1 record. You have a brand new identity. Impressed voters notice the change and rank you...
Welcome to my Pick-Six Opinions as I review Missouri’s impressive 38-21 victory over Kentucky on Saturday night in Lexington. The win lifted Mizzou to 6-1 on the season overall, and the Tigers are tied for third in the SEC East. Here are the top four records in the...
Here are my Pick-Six Opinions from Missouri’s disappointing 49-39 loss to LSU on a beautiful, festive day at Faurot Field… 1. Mizzou squandered a fast start, a 15-point lead, a marvelous home field advantage, and a grand opportunity to build a 5-0 season and enhance...
