How long will the statute of limitations run for navel-gazing on Missouri’s amazing 2023 season? Hopefully it has not expired yet.
Because 2023 was perfect for fan enjoyment: preseason expectations called for the Tigers to be a middle-of-the-pack SEC team. They wildly exceeded the prognostications, and the only two losses were both competitive games against the Heisman winner and the reigning champs. Week in and week out, the Tigers rose to the occasion and delivered in the win column, or at least acquitted themselves.
There were no flameouts here, no catastrophes, no eggs laid, no meltdowns. No refereeing disaster against Kentucky nor a comeback allowed to a backup quarterback.
