So….in hindsight, now that it’s in the win column, we needed that exact game last night right? I mean in every facet. We’ve had every other type of game this year. Had some too-close-of calls and ugly games (ODU and Ole Miss), some heartbreakers (LSU and Bama), and some highest-of-high blowout wins (UK, Oklahoma, A&M, Vandy). This win was the one our boys hadn’t gotten yet. The one where lots of things didn’t go our way (whether self-induced or bad luck) but still were able to pull out a win against a quality opponent. In comeback fashion I might add.
I think everyone would have preferred we put a beat down on Mizzou last night, but moving forward it may have been the best thing for the team. Now they know they can mount a great comeback that actually translates to a W. Also, I think it was reflected in Beamer’s postgame, but the fact that it happened by exorcising the Missouri demons is also huge, especially for the older guys who have been in the program.
So, looking back, what a frustrating, annoying, nauseating, and FUN game last night. Go Cocks!
