How 'Bout Them Tigers!

My beloved Missouri Tigers kicked butt and are the champions of the 2008 Cotton Bowl. The Tigers dominated Arkansas this afternoon 38-7. Not only did the Tigers win the game convincingly but they dominated Arkansas on defense, offense and special teams. Tiger running back Tony Temple had a field day running for 281 yards and four touchdowns.

What impresses me most is the Tigers, despite their snub by the BCS a month ago, never complained about going to the Cotton Bowl. Instead the team embraced it and let it's play speak for itself. Tonight while driving home from greeting friends I heard a Fox radio analyst say Missouri proved to the rest of the world they belong in the BCS games this week. Gee, you think?

I am just so proud to be a Tiger fan tonight.
