Alright all you sappy Pally's. I'm away for three weeks and people are bashing Mizzou over on Mark's blog. That's not right, folks, that's damn wrong. And exactly one hour and twenty four minutes before boot-off against the Fighting Illini, let me say this...those suckers in Orange don't stand a chance.
Illinois, along with Kansas, took home the biggest prize in the BCS season last year when they each got spots in bowl games for no apparent reason. It seemed that the idiots runnin' the show at BCS headquarters went dumb in crunch time again, and proved to the world they're no smarter than a sack of nickels. The Illini and Jayhawks are damn lucky the two darts hit their states instead of the Show-Me, and tonight Ron Zook and Juice Williams are going to pay for 8 months of Chase Daniel's agony.
It's probably a good thing I'm not partying in the parking lots of the Jone's Dome, because chances are good a couple of those good ole' boys from the other side of the river, all decked out in their hunter orange, would've crossed a line or two. I remember being at Union Station before this game all through college, and I have to say that Illinois fans are about the strangest fans I've ever seen. For never winning anything ever, they walk around like their God's gift to football, much the same way Tom Cruise thinks he's God's gift to the world. Neither of them are.
And as long as Gary Pinkel doesn't act the fool, Mizzou is going to paint that orange red and party all over The Ed tonight.

*Well, one possession down and MU made Illinois' defense look like a bunch of dead inflatable dolls. You boys down in Cape Girardeau have to be asking yourselves what in the hell you got yourself into putting the Black and Gold on your schedule. That oughta be a complete blood bath.
*I have the privalege of watching tonight's game with two fellow MU graduates. It's a rare sighting finding two other alumn in this town. Cheers to the boys in black,
7-Zip.
*At the half...things are looking good for the Tigers. It did seem like Chase was having a little trouble there late in the first, and early in the second, but he's putting it all together now. First game nerves, maybe?
*Not sure about Illinois. Flashes of good football, but I'm not ready to give them any real credit. One hell of a catch by Will Judson, and a big ole boy who found something he never thought he'd find is about all I can say for them. There offense doesn't seem to be anything special yet, nor does their defense.
*Throw it up for JMAC.
*45-35. MU's defense seems to be a little lackadasical so far this half. We're making Juice look good.
*Does anybody think SEMO will stop Mizzou even once next week?
