Mizzou football 2007

Post by stretch »

Mizzou is picked to win the Big 12 North.

I think they are perfectly capable of winning the North, but won't really believe it until it happens. I've been kicked in the nuts too many times as a fan of Mizzou sports to put that much stock into preseason rankings.

I also am not really enamored with the in-game coaching of Mizzou's staff.

I'm pretty excited for the season. We may have to try to be football's version of the Phoenix Suns, but at least it'll be fun to watch.

This also inspired my awful effort that I now call a sig.

I didn't realize how crabby I seemed in my post above. I, too, am really looking forward to the season.

It should be a lot of fun to watch.

I would say the average total score of games this year would be around 60 points. :shock:

Two-horse race this year in the North. Whoever wins the MU-NU matchup will probably win the division.

Let's go Tigers. I could use some braggin' rights over the in-laws.

Unfortunately, winning the Big XII North is like winning Miss Northern South Dakota.

But still, winning the Big XII North would be a step forward, instead of say -- losing to Oregon State with 13 milliseconds to play.

Perfectly stated.

And I ALWAYS look forward to Mizzou football, even in the down years.

I hate to lower the standards or anything, but I've seen entirely too many ridiculously bad years in my lifetime under Pinkel's predecessors to get crabby about the job that he's doing/has done.
