Plus, it's Mizzou. Never, ever discount that fact. There was far too much counting of chickens after the Florida game.
I could see this team winning a ten point game, I could see them getting blown out, and I could see them blowing another multiple score lead in the most heartbreaking fashion possible.
I've been too traumatized by this team to expect anything else.

Look...I don't disagree that MU has it's own history of stumbling, but for some reason this team seems different than most. This team has all the parts to play that one complete game that they have not this year. Everyone keeps predicting (each game mind you) that "this game" MU will be exposed and when that doesn't happen, the talking heads say the very same thing about the next game. And guess what.....MU keeps playing on. They have the one loss in OT to a good SC team, but quite frankly maybe that loss has done more for the psyche for this team than being undefeated at this time.
I'm gun-shy no different than you or everyone else.....but I choose to look at this season to be one of the most enjoyable I have seen MU have in years. This was supposed to be a year when MU was going to stumble again, people were planning Pinkel's successor (rightfully so at the time) and we were losing recruits we should have locked.
Now, here we are at the door of possibly going to the CCG....I can choose to look at this game and say this is probably where we falter, or I can say, you know what, this team has surprised me all year, so I owe them a little faith in the team.
I choose the latter.
