Rocky Mountain High!

55-10. Say what you will. Maybe the Colorado Buffaloes are not the team they once were. But the Tigers have not gone to Colorado and won since the days when Corby Jones was winging the ball at Mizzou. The Tigers had not won their first game in November under Gary Pinkel. They have been a horrible team in November and beyond. On Saturday football at Missouri did not just turn a corner. They got to the corner, turned and pushed the accelerator to the floor. The Tigers knew that Kansas had taken Nebraska to the woodshed. So they needed to respond. They did so by putting up 55 on a good Colorado defense. But the defense that was down in a game against Iowa State showed up again and held the Buffaloes under 200 yards of total offense. The Tigers and more and more complete every week. Take a look at the Top 15 in the BCS:

1. Ohio State 10-0
2. LSU 8-1
3. Oregon 8-1
4. Kansas 9-0
5. Oklahoma 8-1
6. Missouri 8-1
7. West Virginia 7-1
8. Boston College 8-1
9. Arizona State 8-1
10. Georgia 7-2
11. Virginia Tech 7-2
12. Michigan 8-2
13. Connecticut 8-1
14. Texas 8-2
15. Florida 6-3

We just have to keep winning and look for 2 of the following three to lose Ohio State, Oregon or LSU. Our schedule is tougher than any of the others. OSU has Michigan late and LSU should have Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. So we will see.

Lets take a quick look at what happened in Lawrence over the weekend. The Beakers put up 76 on the Huskers. While fans of the Chickenhawk may be proud of scoring at will against the Huskers but I contend that that they should be concerned that their beloved Chickenhawks gave up 39 to a very average Nebraska offense. So I say beware Kansas, because the Tigers are rolling and will not be denied this time.

Since this is supposed to be a tailgate blog: Jay and Kelly joined Carrie and I at the house to watch the game. Kelly and Jay brought over bacon wrapped smokies that were delicious and also brought over some Polar Ice vodka which I would not recommend. We all had a great time watching the game and cheering on the Tigers. Jay and Kelly also brought over some firewood so we also had a nice fire for most of the evening. Magic Burgers were enjoyed by all.

Go Tigers
