The energy and excitement leading up to a game was never at more of a crescendo than it was heading into the weekend of October 23rd, 2010.
The Missouri Tigers, led by Blaine Gabbert, were trending upwards on the season with a #18 ranking, and preparing to take on the nemesis in the #3 ranked Oklahoma Sooners. The Sooners were making the trip to Columbia, as was College GameDay. GameDay is the premier Colllege Football program which airs the morning before the games start, and all Missouri did was set the attendance record.
