Over the last five games Missouri is 3-2 with wins over Arkansas, Auburn, and Ole Miss, as well as two close road losses to Arkansas and LSU. Prior to this recent run Missouri dropped eight of 10 contests. Winning breeds more excitement, which is good... I encourage it. But in the same way losing seems to build weird narratives, so does winning.
Narratives can be wrong though. And in these cases, they mostly are. Maybe the road losses to Mississippi State, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and West Virginia gave us a more negative view of the initial 10-game stretch.
