Tiger pride lives on and heads to Dallas
Mizzou players and fans are headed to the Cotton Bowl for the team's first New Year's Day bowl since 1970.
After a Big 12 Championship loss to Oklahoma, Tiger fans have stepped up in support of the 11-2, No. 6 (BCS) Mizzou football team and its historic season. Mizzou yesterday accepted a bid to play Jan. 1 in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
