I’m 37 and started following around 2001 or so. Missouri has had a history of getting screwed over big time. The most famous was the Colorado 5 downs. They gave them freaking 5 downs at the goal line to score. Supposedly if we won that we would of been National Champs. There are many other examples, the Nebraska kick ball etc…
We have been through hell and have been beat up by Tex, Nubs, and Oklahoma over and over.
Nebraska beat us 26 or 27 years straight and then in 2003 a man named Brad Smith changed everything. Youtube Nebraska Missouri 2003. After we beat Nebraska for the first time in 26 years I was went outside and screamed at the top of my lungs. I was a fan for life. People that are older understand better why Missouri struggled for so long. There was some crazy lady who messed sruff up in the 80s I think. There wasn’t much support for the program. It’s like they abandoned the football program from 1978-2003. That’s 25 years but things have been improving gradually since 2003. There is a 10 year connection there, 03’ first victory over Nubs in 26 years, 13’ went to the SEC championship game 23’ finished in the top 10 and beat Ohio St.
I hope we continue to improve and with the new NIL rules it will allow Missouri to finally compete with Oklahoma and Texas at an almost even playing field. Of course they have much better recruiting power because of their prestige. But right now Ole Miss and Missouri have very bright futures.

All Mizzou would have had was a victory over a then-#1 team who ended up national champs. That, and Bob Stull might have gotten enough traction to turn things around.
However, the shenanigans at the end of that game included that the game clock had some time added to it (for no apparent reason except to give Colorado more time) and the fact that even on the only 5th down in the history of college football, the ballcarrier didn't cross the plane and score. He was clearly a foot short.
