Tigers Vs. Jayhawks
Author: Mark Godich
Publisher: Ascend Books Llc
ISBN: 9780988996489
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
No one saw it coming. Missouri wasn't ranked in The Associated Press preseason poll in 2007. Kansas didn't even receive a vote. Then the season kicked off. The Tigers and the Jayhawks kept winning. Unimaginable upsets became the norm. And there they were on the Saturday after Thanksgiving - bitter border rivals squaring off at a neutral site with the No. 1 ranking in the country on the line. "You could feel the hostility in the air," said Mizzou backup quarterback Chase Patton. Each team took the field at Arrowhead Stadium knowing it was two victories from playing for the national championship. Before a packed house and a national television audience, Missouri and Kansa delivered the most entertaining and tension-filled game of the college football season. They were two traditionally middling programs that had so much to gain-and everything to be. Book jacket.
