Missouri and Texas Set to Begin
The Missouri Tigers and Texas Longhorns are about 10 minutes away from going head to head in the MU 2009 Homecoming Game. Missouri has had a rough stretch against Texas recently, and is only 1-6 against the Longhorns since the Big 12 was formed in 1996. However, the one win came during Missouri's 1997 Homecoming game.
The Tigers are looking to improve their 4-2 record, while also recording their first conference win of the season. But the task will be a tough one, as Colt McCoy and the Longhorns currently sit at No. 3 in the country and are undefeated on the season.
