Obviously, there will be plenty of internet space used up on this game in the coming days and weeks, as there won't be much else for us to talk about, football-wise. But for now, simply bask in all its glory.
We were the better team today, and I don't think anyone will really dispute that. And that had more to do with our improvement from week-to-week, and the coaching staff's preparation using the bye, than a not-so-hot performance from Mizzou. Sure, the Tigers didn't play fantastically, particularly in the first quarter, but they still played a really good football game. And they are a damn good football team.
And in a better place, overall, with their football team. However, the gap isn't nearly as noticeable as plenty would have you believe. We need a couple more athletes on defense and POOF, we are right in their league year-in-and-year-out. But again, that is what we can talk about more later.
For now, just enjoy the aftermath of the game. One of the best games of the season, easy, and one of the best games in the history of the Border War. Absolutely incredible.
Rock Chalk, baby.

Agreed on the weather.
Looking back on the pictures of the game, they look too Hollywood to be true. It is incredible. Some of them almost look like paintings.
It was a fabulous game, though. Thanks for stopping by.
And good luck in basketball season, I tend to cheer for Mark Turgeon harder than most because of his affiliations with Kansas.
Glorious
Everything is a litle bit better on a day you beat Mizzou. The sun shines brighter, food tastes better, and the celebratory booze tastes so, so sweet.
Gonna be enjoying this one for a long time.. at least until we get to stomp them in hoops.

Great game
This game was one of, if not the most, exciting games this season, bar none. I’m a big fan of Reesing and Mangino and I can tell you my bleed-orange Longhorn family was on the edge of our seats the whole 4th quarter.
My (sadly) Aggie grandfather said it best – no matter what happens with the polls and the rankings, this is the type of game you want to see.
Best game of the season.
Great Game, Great Time...
Traveling back to Denver from KC early monday and I’ll have some thoughts from my time at Arrowhead then.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
What a game
A 7-5 season is definitely a win short of what I’d hoped for this season, but beating K-State and especially Misery almost salvages the dissapointment. It’s hard not to think about how dissappointing that Nebraska loss is now, knowing this game could’ve been for a chance to play another week (and probably get whooped). Great win and a decent bowl to look forward to, with some high expectations again next season.

I kept thinking the same thing...
but then I remembered how banged up we are right now. It’s never better to not be playing, but in this case it is definitely an easy rationalization to make. We’re in no position to play anyone, let alone Oklahoma or (if they’d gotten it right) Texas.
On that note though, I’d really like the USF game back.
