Nine is the magic number
After a 40-26 win over Texas A&M in Columbia, Mizzou football fans are letting themselves think big. The Big 12 North divisional title seems well within reach. So does the Big 12 championship — and Mizzou is now a top-5 BCS team.
Among all the big hopes, here’s a big fact: The Tigers have won nine times this season, something the team hasn’t done since 1969 and something the team has done only four times in school history.
The win column isn’t the only way nine was the magic number this week. No. 9 Jeremy Maclin caught two touchdown passes, including one for 82 yards — the longest Mizzou reception in 31 years.
This team already has made history, and it can make more over the next few weeks.
