**ISU/Mizzou Game thread**
- Thread starter ripvdub
- Start date
When Mich St threw the ball short on 4th down, I thought that is something we would do. Now we are kinda doing the same thing, not giving ourselves a chance.
Excellent effort today. Still making some mistakes, but man do we have a good set of running backs coming back next year. I like the way they continue to play hard. Brutal stretch of games, but if they can continue to battle, it can do nothing but help with recruiting.
Missouri finished with 366 yard of offense, their lowest total of the season. Our biggest problem today was ill-timed penalties, especially personal fouls, and that defense touchdown to start the second half was a skull-basher.
we had 5 minutes to get 2 TDs and played for 4-5 yards at a time up the middle to never stop the clock. At that point, they weren't playing for the win, they were playing for 1 last TD for respectability. They didn't get the last TD.
At the beginning of the season, someone told me that their girlfriend cheered for the Packers by saying "Go Yellow Pants!" Then they went 4-0. Maybe we should start cheering for ISU that way. :biglaugh:

Better get used to it, I have been saying it for 99 years. But I feel that this team will be a contender in 2009, with Arnaud and Robinson leading the way for the clones.
