I can't believe the bellyaching going on right now about this bowl game. I find it hard to believe that these people experienced Mizzou football during Woody's Wagon and Stull's catastrophe. Larry Smith got us to two bowls and at that time, because it had been so long, he could have been elected governor of Missouri. All of that love faded quickly and we hired Gary Pinkel. Pink did what no coach could do for over 20 years, beat Nebraska. He beat them twice, embarrassed them. He's gotten us to two bowl games and for his efforts, people are crying about it.

I understand the criticisms, that he has the game day coaching skills of a box of crackers. I tend to agree. His inability to make adjustments to what is happening on the field has been frustrating, to say the least. Getting torched by the same receiver versus New Mexico and never trying anything different for four quarters to stop him was nuts.

That being said, we've got a bowl game against Spurrier and South Carolina in a couple of weeks. To date, 1,200 tickets have been sold. That's pathetic. GO BUY SOME TICKETS NOW
