And then punched in the gut. My father who took me to MU games as a child and continued to sit beside me for decades of Herd football passed earlier this year. When this team started off so well I could only think how much he would have enjoyed this season.
With the Covid mess and then losing my dad after a long illness (not covid related) MU football was a bright spot in a very difficult year for me.
The way the season ended feels worse to me than the 3-9 season. No way you lose at home ranked and follow that up with a chance to win the conference and lay an egg. I said before the season if we don’t win a championship Doc should not come back for another season and that is what needs to happen.
Opt out of bow game, go find a new coach to get the fans back. I will never stop following and going to games but I want my other Herd brethren back with me. Replacing Doc with someone on the current staff is not an option.
