is anyone else tortured on the inside that UA has a losing record to ULM, Northern illinois and UCF?
i think we should schedule all three in 2013 just to get back to .500.

It really is a shame to see the Missouri-Kansas rivalry come to an end. That was one of the most underrated rivalries in all of sports. Got absolutely vicious at times.

Officially, Alabama is 0-2 against Louisiana-Monroe, 21-14 in 2007.
The 2006 win was vacated.
Golden Girls don't twirl. Got it. But Missouri does have majorettes, which is something that's pretty rare outside of the region -- at least on the level they're used in the SEC.

"Grass was installed in 1995, only to be replaced by FieldTurf in 2003, and is currently in the process of being replaced again at Faurot Field."
Chris, does this mean they are switching back to natural grass for the 2012 season or do you just mean they are installing a new artificial surface?

They are having to replace the turf in order to incorporate the new SEC logos. They are also changing a couple of other things up a bit, but nothing major.
On their website you can see a video of them tearing up the old turf. If you are bored and want to continue to be bored, that is.

As an old History major, I appreciate your information of "Tigers and Jayhawks". Love these kinds of articles!

Glad to have Mizzou. They will be a credit to the SEC in time and
they bring a lot to the table. Have you noticed Missouri tags more
on our interstates lately? It appears that the Missourians are coming down South to check out the landscape and we will see
more Texas tags coming over too. RTR!

The Mizzou fans even have t-shirts of Lawrence burning down that says, "Scoreboard 2-1" b/c they've actually burned down Lawrence twice.
As for #10........Mizzou beat OU two years ago when OU was ranked #1 in the BCS rankings.
Interesting tidbit it the year Colorado won the Natl' Champ' was the year of the 5th down which has to be the worst call in all of sports history. How do you give a team 5 downs? And then they didn't even get in the endzone on the final try. AMAZING to say the least.
Also, Mizzou played Nebraska when they were #1 years ago with the infamous "Kicked Ball" game.

Final drive. Missouri. 1990. 5th down.

Buffs win a game that will be argued for years to come.
