Week 14 (Texas A&M 21 - Mizzou 28)

Mizzou took care of business against the Aggies last Saturday night to secure their spot in the SEC Championship Game this coming weekend. As is the case each year, the last game of the season was Senior Night, as well as the annual Blackout Game. For the first time since the new uniforms were unveiled, Mizzou wore their alternate helmet with the black jerseys and black pants. I can't get enough of this look. All season long, there really hasn't been a bad look for the Tigers.






So, with last weekend out of the way, let's talk about the big game. According to Mizzou beat writer Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter), the fans will be able to vote on the team's uniform combination on Gary Pinkel's website during the days leading up to the game. As all fan votes are, this could either be a blessing or a curse. With Auburn being the designated home team, they will surely wear their home blues. My hope for this game is that we're able to go color on color with the Tigers from down South and wear our gold alternates with the black pants. Chances are though, that won't happen.

My gut instinct tells me the fans will vote on the black and silver alternate helmet, standard away jersey, and black pants. Still wouldn't be a bad looking game, but it wouldn't be my first choice. What do you think the fans will vote on?

And lastly, I have to share this article about the re-brand that happened across all athletics last year. Really interesting stuff. It's always good to see what goes on behind the scenes, and how much thought is put into the process.

With all that said, let's go win a Championship this Saturday. MIZ!
