No, not the one tomorrow, though I agree it's going to be a Statement Game.

But 18 years ago, in Shreveport, in the Independence Bowl. You thought last week's 1st quarter against Kentucky was bad? This was just putrid. They were 1 play away from taking a 28-0 lead with 7 minutes left in the 1st half.

And then it all changed. And for most of the next decade Missouri football simply wasn't the same. Brad Smith made sure we won this game, but the young guys like Martin Rucker, Chase Coffman, Will Franklin, Tony Temple, etc., got so much out of this win that really we were just destined to become what we would become.

This is back before we had High Def TV. Back before YouTube allowed for uploads bigger than 100MB. Back before any of us really knew what it meant to be truly into football. Back before we had even the foggiest idea that in 7 years we'd be in the SEC.

Craig James laughing at Mizzou, only to have to eat **** when we won, will never get old.
