Sobering Realities

The light of day didn't provide any extra insights on the game last night: it's still a frustrating game we should have won and it's still a game that won't kill our season.  For instant analysis see my previous post.

In summary:
(a) Questionable calls
(b) Terrible defense
(c) Good QB play
(d) Down to one RB (plus Franklin)
(e) Franklin's physically beat up

All of this can be found in the game article from the KC Star.

Not a lot of new Mizzou or conference info today, I guess people are actually watching the games.  Here some links, many of them funny:
(1) Baylor is 90 miles away from A&M, yet sold the fewest number tickets to the game at A&M than any other opponent.  Interesting non-explanations from Baylor. 

(2) Texas says it doesn't want to be independent, but it sure acts that way.  As the article points out, they're putting forward lots of ego and power. 

(3) The Pac 12 "says" it doesn't want to expand.  Take that with a grain of salt.  It does bring up an interesting question, though: If OU decides to leave the Little 9, is there anywhere for them to go?  All of a sudden the Little 9 looks like it might be around for a while.  I don't know if that's a good thing.  It would be if all the hatred was handled on the football field, but we don't seem to like to play things that way.

(4) Coastal Carolina football coach gives the presser of the year.  I can't exactly explain what is going on, but it involves cats, dogs, children and football players looking in the mirror.  He also has an incredible mustache.  You have to click on this link.

(5) In baseball news, Joe Morgan has found his calling and will lead the world's largest chicken dance.  And, this Phillies has lost whatever mind he once had.

I think I might be losing my mind as well.  Iowa State looked really good in their win over Iowa.  We've got a long season ahead but if last night proved anything, our players are up for the challenge. 

Thanks for reading,
