Big 12 Championship: Mizzou Or Okies?

by Jon Johnston on Dec 1, 2007 2:18 PM CST in Nebraska Husker Football

The Big 12 Championship is this evening and I'd like to encourage any Corn Nation fans to visit the SB Nation blogs for Oklahoma and Missouri.

Oklahoma blog is Crimson and Cream Machine, Mizzou is supported by Rock M Nation. Both will be running game day threads this evening, so feel free to join them.

Me? I'm pulling for Mizzou. I know that our rivalry and respect for Oklahoma is long-standing, but I am tired of hearing about how the Big 12 North can't beat this team, and can't win the title. This is for our half of the conference.

Plus, I really don't want Ohio State in another national title game. Whomever plays them will destroy them. You don't want that either, do you?

For the sake of college football as a whole, the state of the nation, and all that is holy, root for Mizzou!

alright

Time to finally get over 1978

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Forget it, I was there...

in '78, in the marching band.

But I want the Sooners regardless, for many reasons. Mainly, I don't want to have Tig smack all over our sites all spring and summer, and I don't want to witness the death(or remission) of the infamous Pinkel Factoid--TM: some things in life MUST remain constant and true!

Plus, I still can't stand that cocky little snot('booger') they call Chase Daniels even though I think he should get the Heisman if they beat OU.

Plus, I want rationality to prevail: OU has the best and most gifted players(along with SC and LSU), better HC, so reason says they MUST win.

Just cannot root for Mizzou, no way, no how. But I respect them for what they've accomplished this year.

p.s., if they lose and we get BOP, maybe we could make another run at Gabbert....

Another

run at Gabbert?????

I wouldn't want him after decommitting from us, committing to Mizzou and decommitting from Mizzou to come back.

Imagine what he would be like if he dosen't get his way while a player.

Good point,

I don't see him as a spread guy for Mizzou though. Doesn't matter too much, we have 3 good qbs.

Doggone right

we have three pretty good QBs. Hell, Witt is gonna be a 3 year starter.

you

were in the band in '78? I'm impressed....

good points on why you'd want OU to win.

still, aren't you tired of the constant "Big 12 North teams can't beat anyone other than Baylor blah blah blah" stuff?

Go Big Red!

Just can't root for Mizzou...

Probably any other north team I would root for vs OU or TX.

Halftime and OU is killing them on D tonight, but they've let them off the hook a few times. Sooners MUST WIN!

Yeah, I was in the band back then(drums); we beat OU and are #1, then lose to Mizzou, then rematch loss to Sooners again in Miami. At least I got the free trip to the Orange Bowl and some other places--Arrowhead, for e.g.
