Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

Re: Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

Couldn't really tell how good Missouri is. At times they looked un-stoppable and at others the looked like Clemson on D.
 
Re: Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

I have no clue what happened. I had Missouri -9.5 as the last leg of a 3-teamer last night and was following the score on Yahoo and I saw a final of Mizzou by 3 and thought I had lost, and then later they won by ten.

What a country!
 
Re: Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

Commentator even alluded to the extra point being "big" for certain people out there.

I had already marked Mizzou down as a winner, guess it wouldn't have really been THAT weird for Illinois to go for 2 there since it didn't matter either way.
 
Re: Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

It was a wild game. Seemed only fit to have a final TD with no time left on the clock and the announcer talking about how meaningful the extra point still was to "a lot of people".

Re: Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

Why did they kick the extra point with no time left on the clock???

Is that a new rule change or something????

Illini had its ups and downs... I am very excited about tis team though. The game could of went either way but that int really hurt a comeback..
 
Re: Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

I'm surprised we didn't see a Pete Carroll-like move and have them go for 2 at the end even with nothing on the line. But why risk having an 11 point loss for the poll-sters to see when you can get the pretty sure 10.

Re: Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

according to all the new rules I just checked, there's no mention.

I know in OT they don't kick it.

Re: Illini/Mizzou FINISH!!!!!

i went to the game. these three annoying fraternity guys in front of me bet 2500 on Mizzou -11. (i was pulling for them to lose from the jump because of the awful number they took. i guess i have a little winkyduck in me). they were jumping around and hugging each other after mizzou's pick 6 with like 3 minutes left to go up 17. after the last play of the game i thought they were going to cry (they obviously didn't have 2500 between them) and i felt guilty for pulling against 'em.

it's amazing how often an extra point or 2 can come back to bite you

thanks for thinking of me

my guess is they played it w/a local and as we all know when you play the home team(s) with a local you lay more points or get less points than you do anywhere else

and i agree - got what they deserved for laying -11 when there was plenty of numbers out there that woulda cashed their ticket
