Big 12 Continues Bowl Run

Missouri roared back from a 21 point deficit tonight against South Carolina to win the Independence Bowl 38-31. With the win, the Big 12 improves to 4-1 for the Bowl Season, including 2-0 against the SEC.

Not bad for a conference that's been slammed as being weak all year.

2 wins against SEC?
So what's the second win against the SEC?  The only SEC team to play a bowl game so far is South Carolina (LSU is playing right now).  Florida, Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia all play Jan 2nd.  The Big 12 is 4-1 so far though.

Um...
Kansas over Houston
Oklahoma over Oregon
Nebraska over Michigan
Missouri over South Carolina

Yep. 2-0 versus the SEC.

I think.

Maybe not.

Not
unless Mizzo gets double points for beating the "other" USC.

or unless Oregon, MIchigan or Houston has suddenly joined the SEC.

Big XII
Agreed. The Big XII teams are winning bowl games that they aren't "supposed" to win. Unranked Nebraska upset what everyone thought was a good, if underperforming top 25 Michigan team. Oklahoma whipped a damn good #6 Oregon squad. Missouri over U South Carolina. That's 3 unlikely upsets, and a good indication that the Big XII is a much better league than it was given credit for this year.

Of course, this won't become a mainstream press mantra until the Longhorns end that Trojan winning streak.

2 out of 3
Nebraska (and the Sun Bowl refs) and Mizzou I will give ya, but plenty of people were picking OU with a healthy AD to give an Oregon team without Clemens a good game. I wouldn't call that one an "unlikely upset". Big XII has stepped up in bowl season, that's for sure.

QEDMF
I keep hearing how teams didn't want to be there, the refs stole the game, etc., etc.,.  It's just whining and rationalizing after getting punched in the mouth by a "mediocre" big 12 team.

42-13
  How about Kansas.  First Bowl win in 10 years.  Yeah, I know its Houston, but the Cougar High 13th graders played a Rubber Ducks team tough at the beginning of the year and beat a scrap happy Tulsa at home.  
As much as just the sight of Mangina's Asian phonebook of Chins makes the epiglottis of my throat sphincter to hold back the ensuing vomit, hats off to the fat man for twisting the knife in the Ft. Worth Bowl.  
Shit, Colorado put up a great effort against dumbdumb Bowden and Charlie Whitetrash.  After the 3-70 skullfuck taken in the anything but Reliant stadium, I really wanted the Buffs to come correct in the Oshman's Trampoline Bowl.  After being headknocked Alzheimer's, I was a bit sad to hear that 37 year old Klatt would not be starting against Clemson's traditionally disappointing program.  Losing 19-10, is a badge of honor to be worn on the respective chests of Colorado fans as they have watched a program(excluding this year) teeter on the fringe of a return to Neuheiselly sharp offensive plays and a brawny run-defense; but starting next season the over/under on a Buffs game is never going to dip below 70, as Boise's best is going to gimmicky Leach in the new season with a mid-major XBOX attack that can only be classified as football diarrhea, allowing opposing teams to shoot through gaps like so much rice through a funnel.  
As for the Xmen of Michigan, I am fear the geriatric backlash of Lloyd's impending impeachment trial.  It would be fantastic to see the Cornshuckers return to mediocrity, however Callahan might be the only person who looks less intelligent when he puts on a pair of spectacles.
I got 5 on ISU, running wild on a TCU that got froggy fucked by the Pony Express.  Who's with me?

yeah
everyone slamming the BIG 12, who cares. If Texas fans need bowl games before the Rose Bowl to make them look good or feel good, then I hope all Big 12 teams win their bowl games because the only game that matters is on January 4th. Come on PB, give a post that someone cares about.

The Buffs could have pulled it off..
...if only they had stuck to Gary's plan of sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.

TCU just went up by 14 on the cyclones, speaking of football diarrhea.
