How 'Bout Them Tigers

My beloved Missouri Tigers stomped Nebraska last night 52-17. The Tigers scored on ten of 12 possessions and Nebraska was clueless most 0f the game about what Missouri was doing.

The win is particularly sweet to me since it had been 30 years since Mizzou had won in Lincoln. This one win isn't a payback but it's a start.

For years Nebraska was said to have some of the best fans in the country. Well, apparently losing has changed some of their "great" fans into obnoxious asses. And the same can be said of at least one Nebraska player. Chase Daniel, Mizzou's quarterback, said he had extra motivation last night after being spit on by a Cornhusker player. Daniel took the high road and refused to name the player, but also made the allegation that Nebraska is one of the dirtiest football teams he has played.

The bottom line is Missouri 52 - Nebraska 17. Mizzou 5-0; Nebraska 3-2
