Mizzou football has had some weird, highly unlikely, heart-breaking losses through the years. And anyone who knows or cares about this program knows what I'm talking about. Bad memories.
Well, on Saturday afternoon at Faurot Field, senior Missouri quarterback Brady Cook made a remarkable and totally unexpected reappearance after suffering an early injury. He shook off the pain of a damaged ankle -- dramatically and impossibly returning to the scene to rescue the Tigers by leading two fourth-quarter touchdowns for wild 21-17 triumph over Auburn.
All of the ghosts that float around Mizzou's home after the controversial "5th Down" loss to Colorado in 1990, and the shocking "Kick Six" home loss to Nebraska in 1997? Well, Brady Cook wrote his own script, played the role of the hero, and this outcome had a deliriously happy ending.
