Resolution agreed to in Senate without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S4498-4499; text: CR S4523)
This Senate resolution formally honors the 1960 University of Missouri Tigers Football Team for its historic achievements, including a perfect 10-0 regular season and a 21-14 victory over the Naval Academy in the 1961 Orange Bowl. The resolution highlights the team's Big Eight Conference Championship, its dominant defense that allowed only 59 points all season, and standout players like consensus All-American Danny LaRose, who received Heisman Trophy votes. It also credits legendary head coach Dan Devine for building Missouri into a national football powerhouse during this era. This is a symbolic measure that carries no funding, regulatory changes, or legal effect; it simply expresses the Senate's recognition of the team's accomplishments and honors the players, coaches, and supporters involved. It affects no policy but serves as an official tribute to this piece of college football and Missouri sports history.
