I lol’er’d. No worries here, Fartsey: Put us 10. Put us 18. Doesn’t matter. I’ve spent more years than I can count dying with the fortunes of a school that was never worthy of a small number in front of its name. I’m just tickled that you saw fit to even include us in your li’l poll.
Hell, Willie, we couldn’t even make
Others Receiving Votes consideration when the season kicked off. The fact that we’ve reduced the
Confederacy's Conference’s grits-eating purists, blue-bloods and old-school traditionalists to rationalizing that the Rise of Mizzou is an aberration due to the league being down and half the East is in the hospital is a bonus.
That said, if you had told any Mizzou fan at the start of the season that we had a shot of finishing 9-3, we’d of taken it like we
stoled it.
Now, even though we sit in the driver’s seat for a place at the table in Atlanta, Sam (and the most ever-body else that follows this Conference, for that matter) is convinced that we’re about to drop our last two games - and we may very well. But we won’t.
I realize we ingrates are supposed to be in awe of Ole Miss for some reason. Maybe it’s because Archie played there, and that’s supposed to mean something. But Mizzou is 5-1 all-time against Mississippi, and Rebs haven’t beaten us since the Reformation. OK, that’s a ‘zaggeration, but the Grovers haven’t done anything special this season to give MizzouFan concern that, provided we play our usual game, we won’t leave Oxford without another “W”.
As for the Fighting Manziels... Unfinished business here, Buttsey. Mizzou took 5-out-of-6 in the XII from the ass-To-moufs before the Aggies whipped us like run-away slaves last year.
In the first half. Those fucks finally roll into Columbia after three straight at Juco Station. If there is a team in the SEC that can match the fAggies score-for-score, it’s Mizzou. The difference is: Our bunch actually plays defense. Look for a
new-fashioned SEC shootout from a pair of old XII schools that hate each other’s guts.
11-1. Bring on Bammer. Or Barner. Hopefully,
if you make it, your WarChicken won’t shit on our coach before splashing a Georgia Dome suite window...
