re: Mizzou Has Been Referred to as a Sleeping Giant in Football

For sake of context here, what do the non-Mizzou posters here make of Mizzou's 12-2 season in 2007, when it finished ranked #4 in the nation and one half of football away from the national title game? Was the program slumbering then? Was it relevant?

The sun shines on every dogs arse eventually? Really, you need several consecutive (5 or more)years of at least top 10 (if not top 5) finishes to be any sort of a "giant," sleeping or otherwise. Mizzou is nowhere near that. I don't think that Boise State is considered one of the giants of CFB, and they have done waaaaay more than Mizzou.
