When I was writing about Missouri's win over BYU two weeks ago, one thought kept going through my head.
If this was Gary Pinkel's last win, that's a pretty awesome ending. Obviously we hope for another win or two (or three).

The floor is now settling for last night as Pinkel's last wonderful moment, his "Faurot carried off after beating Kansas." I'll take it.
I hedged in there as I always do, and I didn't want to sound like I was telling people to be happy with 5-7 or something, but .
