His five favorite plays of the last 20 years

Here are the five I always remember:

1. Sod Reesing safety

2. Gahn McGaffie

3. Brad Smith's last of five TD runs against Texas Tech in 2003. It was 61 yards IIRC, Missouri had long since quit trying to score, but Brad was just that good and Tech had no answers that day

4. Michael Sam/Shane Ray sack, scoop and score vs Okie State in the Cotton Bowl. Sam was the perfect guy to make the final play of that season.

5. Danario Alexander's entire day against Kansas State in 2009. It was the best individual non-QB performance I've ever seen by a player in a Missouri uniform. He scored every way you can. He had a bomb, he outjumped double coverage, he took a short pass and went 70 yards. But the most memorable play of that day to me was when Missouri had a third down, he caught a pass three yards short of the sticks, got his helmet knocked off and trucked a dude to move past the chains. Maybe more than anything I've covered Danario's season in 2009 was so much fun for a guy who so deserved it.
