The latest local news, weather and high school sports from the Heartland

This class has won 33 games entering Saturday's game against Texas Tech (4th-best win total in Mizzou history), and has been part of three bowl games (2008 Alamo, 2009 Texas, 2010 Insight), a Big 12 North Division championship, the first-ever win in school history over a #1-ranked opponent (vs. BCS #1 Oklahoma in 2010), and Mizzou's first win over Texas since 1997, among many other noteable achievements.

Most importantly, everyone in this group of scholar-athletes is scheduled to graduate by May, 2012...

This senior class has already been part of one of the winningest four-year periods of time in Mizzou football history, as their 33 wins from 2008-present stand as the 4th-best mark ever.

The 2010 class was part of a record 40 wins in its four years (2007-10), a record in which this year's senior class certainly had a large role in contributing to.

What's more, if the Tigers can reach a bowl game in 2011, this class would become only the 5th in MU history to play in four bowl games in a 4-year span.

The only previous classes to achieve that feat were the 1981 senior class, followed by the last three classes to matriculate (2008, 2009, 2010).
