The phrase, “Go out swinging,” comes to mind when thinking of this year’s Tigers.
They’re a team that had such high hopes before the season, even amidst the onset of a postseason ban. For all intents and purposes, the Mizzou faithful, including the team, are disappointed to say the very least. Emotions such as anger, frustration, doubt, confusion, even outright disbelief follow the Tigers along this current four-game losing streak heading into Tennessee, leaving the program and its followers to question: “What is happening?”
It seems that weekly, the conversation takes an optimistic turn for the better when it comes close to game time, only to be take a sharp turn south before the clock hits zero.
