I know critical thinking and math skills are severely lacking down there, but ask yourself, do you really think, financially, you would be on par with the Big Ten without us and A&M ?

Pardon me, My sec doormat brethren in all sports (who insists on run-on sentences) but I’m not “down here,” I’m “over there.”

East Carolina is not down there. It’s out East. It also holds a .500 record with your joke football school.
Not a good look.







And yes, the sec would be fine without you. It’s now a literal joke that you think you saved the sec.

Say that out loud......” mizz and aggy Keep the sec relevant”

Now, my slack-jawed, faux-intelligent simpleton; see how stupid you sound.

You may be dumber than I originally thought.

Oh well, enjoy your PAAAWWWWL shows, etc and leave the real work to the intellectuals.

That was a tough break for Mizzou.

I'm surprised that Iowa was in the running for the natty considering they lost head to head with Minnesota. If you have three teams in consideration for the national title and one of them lost to the other two... well wouldn't that team be as out of place in the talk for a national title as the town whore at a church wedding?

Say what you will about the flaws in the current system but compared to some of the results from years gone by its a miracle of clarity.

They didn't even get that. They were 5th in the AP and 4th in the UPI.

Having read and seen posted several good summaries of this game over the years, KU won 23-7 and left at least another 10 pts on the field. KU's defense was the difference in the game. They completely shut down the Mizzou rush with 9 on the line knowing Mizzou only avg. 45 YPG passing. This was the third #1 team KU had faced that season. The other two managed a win even with the "ineligible" Coan in the backfield. Coan had 2 TDs on only 9 touches in the game, but KU had 3 other future NFL draft picks in their offensive backfield.

KU was the better team. They won the game on the field and rightfully won the Big 8. The later forfeit puts an * next to Mizzou claim of the Conference title.

From Mizzou student at the game:

My worst MU-KU memory was the 1960 game at Columbia. Missouri came into the game ranked #1 in the country after beating Oklahoma in Norman the previous week, 42-24. Kansas, with John Hadl at quarterback, upset us, and the game was not even close (the game was later awarded to Mizzou because Kansas used an ineligible player, but that didn't matter).

Damn. At least when Texas loses to Kansas, it occurs during their least proud years and not their most
