Yep, 1966. That was the year Jim Mackenzie showed up at OU with a group of assistants from Arkansas. Most of them turned out to be pretty dang good.

Oh, and that was also one of the few years the sheep lovers claimed a victory over us.

The 60s are also coincidentally the last time Mizzou won a football conference championship ('69 in the Big 8)

They are the perennial underachievers.

Dan Devine coached Missouri at the time. That was before Rudy made him famous.

They beat us last year. That's more relevant than what hasn't happened since 1966. It is actually a good thing they beat us last year because I am sure they have the team's full attention, which without last year's disappointment, may have been difficult to achieve coming off the big win in Tallahassee.

It is a cool fact though. I will be repeating it to friends for the rest of the week.
