Missouri lost in the most unfathomable way to Auburn because the CFB Gods punished them for cowardice

Listen, man. Missouri taught us all a valuable lesson today. When you have the chance to win a game — like, really win a game — just do it. Don’t dance around it.

Because if you do? The College Football Gods will punish you. And it will hurt. So so so so much. That’s what happened to coach Eliah Drinkwitz on Saturday.

I would make the obligatory Misery/Missouri joke here, but honestly, their fans have been through enough today. They were absolutely robbed of a win twice in one game.

So here’s the deal. Missouri has the ball at first and goal with about a minute left in the game. They kneel the ball — not once, but twice. They choose to kick a 25-yard field goal. This was the result.

MISSED. SHANKED. Completely whiffed. This is already unbelievable. The worst part is that Brady Cook actually thought they won the game.

But it’s OK. Fine. There’s still overtime and Missouri can still win this. Sure.

The game continues. Auburn gets the ball first in overtime and they end up kicking a field goal. Missouri has a real shot to win now. All they have to do is score a touchdown. That’s it. Then it’s game over.

They nearly do exactly that. Nathaniel Peat finds himself running down the sideline about to score. A defender is coming to stop him and he reaches for the goal line.

But the ball isn’t there. Instead, it’s lunging forward and out of the endzone for a touchback.

The game is over. Missouri loses. The CFB Gods have torn their hearts out. Pain. Unspeakable pain. Unfathomable pain. Just…all the pain. This hurts and I’m not even a Missouri fan.

Everybody was just shocked by the way this all went down. It’s truly unbelievable.
