Against the big boys like Texas and Oklahoma...it has never failed to come up short. 12 wins and a half away from a national title??? You mean when they choked against the Sooners and gimmicked thier way into the Cotton Bowl? Isn't that the game where they ran a silly-assed trick play on the first play of the game, blew it and set the tone for thier eventual loss?

Yeah...they ran under center today on goal to go...and look what happened..

The spread sucks and they should chuck it.

Right. 7 or 8 wins only. Except for all the times it has produced more than that.

The 07 championship game was tied at halftime. A key holding call on LT Tyler Luellen (moved Mizzou out of FG position on the drive to open the second half) and a tipped interception turned the momentum and OU wore Missouri's defense down in the second half.

But yes, Missouri should chuck the thing responsible for its most stable and successful period since Dan Devine was on the sideline.

Revise? Tweak? Of course. But chucking it? That makes no sense.
