Mizzou-as-villain is new to me.
All I ever have had against them is that they always seemed to have high, heavily-watered grass at Faurot Field.
They got badly screwed a couple of times by official malfeasance back in Big 8 days.
Now they're just another escapee from the bad old Big 12 days. Like the Huskers, the Aggies, and the Buffs.
Miss Mizzou did sort of hike her skirt up and give Mr. Big Ten a glimpse of thigh. To no avail, of course.
