Can't Take Them Anywhere: Mizery Trashes Shreveport Open Thread

PrintMissouri's first trip into SEC territory after announcing their jump from the Big XII is not going well. Between beat writers complaining about the hospitality or the mascot busting the trophy before the game, Mizzou is playing the the part of the guest from heck. (Did Uncle Eddie's RV make the drive down from the Griswold's?)
That's right... Truman the Tiger tried to hoist the Independence Bowl trophy over his head...and dropped it. Fortunately, he did it prior to kickoff, and so a local jeweler was able to provide a replacement crystal bowl to make the trophy whole again.
Consider this your game thread for the afternoon and evening. At 4 pm on ESPN2, it's the Independence Bowl between Missouri and North Carolina. At 7:30 pm, it's Monday Night Football on ESPN between New Orleans and Atlanta. Is your Fantasy Football team still alive in the playoffs? (Hey, mine snuck into the playoffs, and is riding a three game winning streak into the Fantasy Bowl next weekend!)

Bowl games are all about who wants to be there...
(See Nebraska, San Diego, Holiday Bowl 2010)
…and it’s becoming clear that Missouri’s mascot, beat writers, and team have no interest in being in Shreveport. Tar Heels march down the field, take 7-0 lead just three minutes into the game…
Nice play by Mizzou...
…TJ Moe takes a deep lateral, and fires a 40 yard touchdown pass to Wes Kemp to tie it up. 7-7 early.
UNC
looks horrible after that 1st drive.
Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Yeah.
This one just became a time killer til MNF. Who Dat!!
Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Now 24-7 Mizzou...
Remember what I said about Missouri not wanting to be in Shreveport? Nevermind. North Carolina hasn’t done a thing since that opening drive.
Ridiculous interception...
North Carolina seemingly catches a long pass, the ball gets stripped, starts bouncing off of hands and pads, and finally ends up in a Missouri interception just before it hits the ground.
Tigers promptly ram the ball down North Carolina’s throat. Mizzou’s 4th string running back (before a rash of injuries) scores untouched on a 10 yard run to make it 31-7 with 2 minutes before halftime.
Missouri has over 300 yards of offense; North Carolina, just over 100…most of which came on the Tar Heels first possession.
North Carolina gets a field goal just before halftime...
A couple of long passes put them in scoring position… 31-10 at halftime.
I'm sick
of that Nelly song.
Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
