In Tuscaloosa, Mizzou football sees shades of 2008

“History doesn’t repeat Itself, but it often rhymes.” — Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain

The popular saying from Twain, a Missouri native, is certainly applicable to Mizzou football as it prepares to take on No. 15 Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

With over half of the 2024 campaign in the rearview mirror, MU’s season trajectory feels awfully similar to what it was 16 years ago. In 2008, the Tigers entered the season ranked No. 6 in the AP poll fresh off of a historic 2007 season where they went 12-2 with a Cotton Bowl victory.
