My Tigers got their butts handed to them last night by Oklahoma in the Big XII Football Championship game down in San Antonio. The final was 38-17 Oklahoma. The Sooners are arguably one of the best teams in the nation. The Sooners' defense shut Missouri's running game down tight and in the Red Zone and Missouri had to settle for field goals three times. Oklahoma also held Missouri to it's lowest point total of the season.
The Tigers made mistakes on both offense and defense, particularly stupid penalties at inopportune times. But, in the end Oklahoma had more athleticism than Mizzou and won the right to represent the Big 12 in the BCS. It appears as if the loss will shut the Tigers out of the BCS completely and they may end up playing in the lesser Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day.
The basketball Tigers also lost last night in Berkeley against the Bears. I didn't watch it since the football game ended late and I was not too happy with the outcome of the football game. If you care the score was Cal 86 - Mizzou 72.
