It was a makeup call for the terrible calls including the five critical calls against Missouri. But that one ended up not mattering anyway as Texas blocked the punt the very next play. But yeah, it should have been called dead sooner. He was being held up and was trying to lean forward to get down.

Arkansas is Drink's major rival, not Mizzou's.

Just some interesting facts:
-Missouri voted against Abraham Lincoln in 1860, but for him in 1864.
-The confederate flag has a star for Missouri.
-St. Louis leans more eastern, Kansas City more central culture, and anything below Jeff City leans southern.
-The Tigers were a pro-union militia organized to protect Columbia from the many Confederate militias in Missouri and they were named that for the Father of the University because he donated the original land.
-Missouri saw 1,200 battles and skirmishes which were third behind Virginia and Tennesse.
-The United States military ordered the most drastic, sweeping civilian displacement order issued by the U.S. government against its own citizens during the war forcing civilians from 5 counties to evacuate and then 2,200 square miles of everything was systematically was burnt down.
-Missouri established a dual state government where the Confederate capital was in Neosho and the Union capital was in Jefferson City.
While other states primarily had clashes between troops, Missouri civil war was defined by a vicious, decentralized guerrilla insurgency that targeted civilians.
-"City-class" ironclads were the first iron-armored warships ever commissioned by the United States and were built in Carondelet (St Louis)
Grant came to Missouri a Democrat but his experiences were influential in him becoming a Republican.
-Missouri abolished slavery before the 15th Amendment
-110,000 Missourians fought for the Union and 40,000 fought for the Confederacy. This did not include the Guerrilla networks.
-Missouri contributed more soldiers to the confederacy than any other union state. Kentucky was the 2nd most soldiers.
-The single most concentrated, famous pocket of wartime outlaws came straight out of the Missouri border conflict. Young men who rode with Confederate guerrilla leaders like William Quantrill and "Bloody Bill" Anderson were denied post-war political amnesty by the Union reconstruction government. Left with no legal rights and specialized skills in horse riding, ambush, and firearms, many simply kept fighting the war by turning to crime.

I attended the Mizzou system around 1991 and around 2016 for some classes. In 2016, one-sided politics was everywhere whereas in 1991, it wasn't heard in the classroom and seldom anyplace else outside a Presidential election cycle.

Mizzou baseball stadium is a huge disincentive for recruits because it's in a windy area. They don't give much funding to it. And it doesn't get much press coverage. All baseball attention in the state goes to Royals and Cardinals. The baseball has a high turnover in both recruits and coaches.

I was never tempted to go to a Mizzou baseball game. The only game I ever attended in baseball was at Texas A&M and it was because Jeff Granger was pitching and he set the A&M record for strikeouts in a game. Everywhere in the ballpark seemed like great seats and it was a good location.

Georgia should have dropped farther considering the Alabama game too.

I don't really joke about Arkansas. Met a lot of good people who have little to nothing and it means a lot to them when Arkansas is competitive.

Didn't Kentucky convert a longer one against Ole Miss in the 1960s?
