Just so you understand................

The Mizzou Tigers football team is now ranked #11 in the country. That's the highest they've been ranked since I was in 1st grade (that's 1981 for you all keeping score at home). That's a LONG time ago. They're now 5-0 and face Oklahoma in Norman this weekend.

If Mizzou can manage to win in Norman for the first time since 1966 (which was 8 years before my birth), they will be in excellent position to push for a Big 12 North championship and have their first shot at a Big 12 football title. Also, they would jump into the middle of the top 10 in the nation and would be one of only a few teams mentioned as a national championship contender.

Let me put this to you bluntly.......

If MU does not win this weekend, they're still in a great position to win the Big 12 North.

If MU beats OU in Norman this weekend, I will openly weep like a little schoolgirl. Consider yourself warned.
