AD was Dick Tamburo (88-92). By all accounts, a decent guy, but not sure how he stood up and walked around considering he had no spine - at least when it came to standing up for the athletic dept, which was his job after all.

Big 8 referees forgot how to count to 4 and then gifted CU a TD on down 5.
I remember when it happened. The official who granted the fifth down was from Kennett. He was almost run out of town.

Ol lady Uhling was more man than him.

Yes but it was the AD that enforced the unrealistic minimum GPA and testing score requirements.
Did they have a choice? No
Babs shoulders the blame for that era inside the AD.

probably but he was also saddled with an AD that intentionally undercut the football program at every turn in order to promote academics.
That's not very SEC like.

No they are not being trolled. I was genuinely interested in finding out what the mood of the fanbase was at that time. I tend to reminisce and reflect on the days of yesteryear

The team that thought taking that sow from Oklahoma was a great move should have had their toenails pulled out. She set fire to the entire AD and bounced out of town in 1987. She rivals Kim Anderson as the worst hire in Mizzou history.

Agreed.
Those were some dark days for Mizzou football, alumni, and fans.
Even this guy understood the importance of the athletic department and especially football, to the university's health and future.

I haven't thought of Woody's Wagon in years!
Mizzou did an ad campaign around it featuring this song. Oooof!

One thing I"ve always wondered about regarding that game...
How aware were the fans in the stadium that it was fifth down.
Did most of them realize it... or were they just as confused as the refs on the field?
I remember that part of the problem was that the down marker guy didn't flip the marker and the refs looked over there and it was showing the wrong down.
