It was during this time that the residents of Columbia formed a "home guard" unit that became notoriously known as the "Fighting Tigers of Columbia". This name was given because of the group's steadfast readiness to fight against Confederate bushwhackers, hoping to plunder the city and university, under the command of "Bloody Bill" Anderson. Later, in 1890, an alumnus suggested the university's newly formed football team be called the "Tigers" out of respect for those who fought to defend Columbia.”

A loss here would be tough to overcome.I think that's why I'm so nervous about it. I'm not going to check but I'm certain you've called other games "must win."How is this any different than the Stanford game or any of the non con P5 games that will follow?If we lose then beat OU and make the Big 12 championship game, no one will care. If we lose the regular season finale to KU, no one will say, "well, at least we beat Mizzou." I can't ever envision the second game of any season being called a must win.Because it's a bad sign that the program probably isn't as far along as hoped it would be and momentum would suffer.

Sounds like that works in our favor. Ground n pound day it is
Looking like we could see heavy rain throughout the game, and the temp won't get above 65 degrees.
likely an incredibly important one though for his regional recruiting efforts.

We've spent the entire off season beating Iowa State's ass on the recruiting trail. If any fan base should know that on field results matter little when it comes to recruiting it's us. We spent 2 decades beating everyone we played but taking L after L in recruiting.This game is all about our ability to talk crap to a regional rival, frankly that's still a big deal in college athletics, recent de-emphasis be damned. There might not be a better feeling this year than being able to give a very loud SEC chant at about 2:15 tomorrow afternoon.

I’m sure they will get a solid replacement but we already have inroads with manning and the ridiculous crop of KCMO kids for 2024 that would be pretty hard for a new staff to overcome. At any rate beating their ass is going to be a really fun thing to witness in person tomorrow.
