re: Missouri in Cotton?

And you got to play a 7-4 team in the cotton bowl, judging by how your fans brag about that game, it meant more to you to be in the cotton than in a BCS game that year

Well to be fair, the BCS opponent would have been Virginia Tech which would have been boring as frick. The star attraction of Chase Daniel vs Darren McFadden was the draw, interim coach and your shitty record be damned. It was kinda like playing the Chicago Bulls in the early years of the Jordan era. They sucked, but the nation would still watch to see if Jordan would go off for 63 points. That was you guys with McFadden in the Cotton Bowl. Only problem was it was Tony Temple who went off for 63.
