The loudest the Mizzou Arena crowd got was at halftime of the Mizzou-Nebraska basketball game, when football head coach Gary Pinkel and a great number of players stood at center court during a ceremony to celebrate and show off the Cotton Bowl trophy.

After the ceremony, I snuck downstairs and caught Mizzou quarterback Chase Daniel as he was about to leave and talked to him for a couple of minutes about reliving the Cotton Bowl, what he’s doing right now, and if he’s thinking at all about his final year of college football.
