It had a mild start that built and built. Then came a strong, dominating, flavor towards the middle. The finish was spicy and intense with but then resonated with suburb notes of satisfaction! I’m not talking about a cigar here…I’m talking about the beautiful 36-28 MU victory over KU in the Armageddon at Arrowhead!!!
What a game! Mizzou flexed the muscles early, and then played ball control to thwart the KU comeback attempt. That sack of Reesing on the final play that resulted in a safety (the one that left 2 pounds of turf embedded in his helmet) was a beautiful ending!
Chase Daniel probably won’t win the Hiesman (That athletic freak down in Florida probably will – although Daniel has a shot at the Davey O’Brien Award) and MU might not be ranked No. 1 later tonight (WVU’s 66 point throttling of a ranked foe might sway enough east-coast-biased voters) but either way Mizzou will be in the top 2 tonight with a chance to avenge their only loss this season, on a neutral site, and will have a real shot of playing for a friggin’ National Title!!! Mizzou could lose out and this would still be the greatest Tiger season of my lifetime!
Saturday’s beautiful vicorty won me two dates with victory cigars! Lil’ Bryan from Lawrence owes me a La Flor “A” and Mikey-Mobb Zeeno has to buy me a yet to be determined smoke! I’ll smoke both of them with pure, elated joy! What a great time to be a Mizzou fan! And all those Jayhawks better not start with that “wait ‘til basketball” bullshit! Just because they got to wait an extra 7 or 8 weeks to bust out that phrase still doesn’t mean it’s a good one! So light up a good cigar all you Tiger fans – to the best season we’ve quite possibly ever had! And all you Jayhawkers who visited me at the cigar shop yesterday – enjoy those consolation cigars I sold you! Ciao turds…

Um, I don't know if you know it, but basketball season has already started. KU-Zona tonight. The opening act went a little long with their set, but the headliner will still be a good one in Larry.
Salutes to MU for exposing a mediocre football team, though it won't help if Kansas has to play Arizona State. That'll be a massacre.
I'll point out that I've predicted a Mountaineer championship all year, and I've stuck to it. I don't suppose we go double or nothing for 19 January? If I have to take a dog football team, it is the least we could work out.
Anyway, I must be going. I've got hoops to watch.
