Game 8: Vanderbilt Commodores at Missourah Tigers (spits) — Open Game Thread

All right, time for the annual game with Woody Widenhofer’s Other Former Employer, and if the Missouri commenters are to be believed, this one’s either going to be a get right game for the Missouri offense with a final score of something like 45-17, or this is going to be a fitting tribute to Woodyball and end with a score of 13-9.

Woody Widenhofer, it should be noted, went 12-31-1 as Missouri’s head coach for four years in the 1980s. Vanderbilt saw that ten years later and said “yeah, hire that guy.” Shockingly, Woody also averaged three wins a year at Vanderbilt, putting up a 15-40 record over five years. The symmetry was fun; the football team... well, that was fun, too, but the record was not. The expectations of winning, it seemed, were not met.

Where was I going with this? Oh, I don’t know. Have fun, expect to win.
