Very good game...Northwestern played their hearts out and they deserved it I thought more than Mizzou, but all in all, the final score matters the most!

Great win for Missouri, but Northwestern played great. Two decent teams played a very entertaining (overtime) game.

Shame on the morons that had to drag the thead into the gutter.:sad:

Anyone find it ironic that the Big 12 isn't suppose to play D but it was the D that came up with the big play when it mattered?:wideeyed:

It was also Mizzou's Big 12 D that kept Northwestern in the game by allowing all those long passing plays for TD's

True dat. Just an excellent game. I could honestly care less about these two teams.

I do wish they would have stopped showing Chase's family though. That was annoying.

The chick on the right was pretty hot, so I did not mind it much.

Great game. NW is a solid program right now.

Mizzou played pretty awful the second half of the season, but was a pretty solid 5th place team in the conf.

I'll take that as a yes.:yes:

But seriously, NW did a great job of putting up 23 points on one of the worst defenses in the country.

Mizzou's defense played a really solid second half. Even the touchdown catch was solid defense. NW looked good early when Sutton was effective up the middle and on screens. That wasn't the case in the second half. Kudos to the defense.

Mizzou gave up 23 to NW in OT

Iowa gave up 22 in regulation

So those two defenses are pretty much the same. :)
