Who will win in San Antonio?
I was on a St. Louis radio show Tuesday night, on KMOX, the station that carries Mizzou, and the host, Kevin Wheeler, told me he’s picking OU to win the Big 12 title game. Funny thing, I said, I had been thinking Missouri would win. Bob Stoops seems awfully confident, so I was starting to change my mind, but it got me to thinking.
Most media people, even the non-allegianced, tend to slightly overrate the teams they cover. Toss-up game? OU-Texas or OSU-Tech or something? Generally, we think the locals will prevail. Unless they’re no good. But you get my point.
Which made me wonder about OU-Mizzou. If I’m leaning toward Missouri, and the St. Louis guy is leaning towards OU, this must be one heck of a matchup. And it is. First Big 12 title game matching top-10 teams since 2001, when Colorado and Texas played at Texas Stadium.
This is going to be fun.
