I think a lot of the post-game reaction comes down to people being upset with a loss, and looking for someone to blame. Kill is the head coach, so he's the obvious target. Just to put this in perspective, I was at a HS BB game Saturday night, and stopped to talk to a fan I know - an older woman (in her 70's or 80's - don't know her exact age.) We talked about the Gopher game, and she said "that fumble on the punt return turned the whole game around." If Jones fields that punt cleanly, and the Gophers go down and score, would we be having multi-page threads dissecting Kill's too-conservative approach? I think not.
Probably not. Wonder what would have happened if Missouri would have scored a TD rather Boddy-Calhoun intercepting in the End Zone? Or even Wells picking that one off on the first drive. Would there be a multi-page thread exist dissecting Kill's "too-conservative approach" then. With people questioning what happened and people telling them to shut-up and just be happy about how things are?
Uh huh.
