Contemplated posting this because I know the response it will get.......
So when we pulled to 28-24 a little light went on for me. Am I happy with how the season is going? No. Am I happy with our record? No. Do I think we are going the wrong direction with Drink? No. It was at that point that I objectively sat back and thought to myself we have lost 4 one score games in the SEC and we are only down 4 halfway into the third qtr against the most potent offense in college football. I know how it ended but I'm not going to let the last 22 minutes of game time drastically change my opinion (yes I know it all counts).
I'm 52 and have been a diehard Mizzou fan for at least 40 of those years. I was at the fifth down game as a student. I've seen some shat in my time. I think when you step back and put the bottle down, and look at things objectively, that we are on the cusp. We are going the right direction. I'm glad the Curators or DRF or whoever see that as well. The ROAR is coming back! The fans are ready for it, the students are bought in and most importantly the administration seems to be bought in as well. The greatest sporting event I have ever attended in person was OU in 2010 and I think those times are coming back!
I've been a season ticket holder the last two years (maybe got in a little early) and the experience this year has been a blast. Keep the faith, we are close!
Super excited on the basketball front. Ready to return to the days of Peeler, Smith, Crudup and Booker. Since it was just Veterans day one of my favorite memories of hoops was in Feb of 1990 I was down in Panama chasing Noriega around and was able to actually watch the Tigers beat the #1 ranked jaybirds and then we grabbed #1 ranking and beat OU a couple days later. Those were fun times and can't wait to be competitive on the hoops side again.
Carry on!
