Per reports.  Congratulations!

That should handily win the competition for the most obscurely titled Mizzou football post of the week.
St. Louis Cards fans over the age of 30 should remember Brunansky as the moustachioed right fielder obtained from the Twins for Tommy Herr in April of 1988.

He had been called up from the minors in 1982 at the […]

I am one of the biggest Gary Pinkel defenders on Earth.  I defended Gary Pinkel after the debacle that was the 2004 season.  Stay the course, I said.  Slow and steady wins the race.  I defended the decision to pull Chase Daniel’s redshirt.  Get him some experience, I said.  Trust in the coaching staff.  The […]

Much to the dismay of Iowa State and Auburn fans*, Gene Chizik was named the new head coach of the Auburn Tigers over the weekend.  Auburn, coming off the halcyon days of Tommy Tuberville, turn to Mr. 5-19 from the Big 12 North.  Auburn, a program steeped in tradition, turns to a man who by […]

I was listening to the radio the other day, and one of the talk show hosts said “No soup for you!”   I thought that was a little dated…and after figuring out where I was when I first watched that Seinfeld episode, I figured the phrase had been around for 13 years.  13 years of No […]

Coffman was named the top tight end in the country last night, taking home the Mackey Award.  I have written many a glowing thing about Chase Coffman on these pages and am indescribably pumped for him for pulling down a major award. 

Coffman came to us as the number 9 TE recruit in the country, as per […]

Editor’s Note:  For the best reading experience we recommend playing this song. 

The Holidays are just around the corner, and it brings about thoughts of family and friends.  It also always brings about the thoughts of another Tiger season gone horribly wrong, though last year was almost the exception.  I am use to it, almost numb to it. But […]

For most of us Missouri football fans, the NFL Draft is traditionally slightly less exciting and much more depressing than CSPAN.  As Phenomenal pointed out, Missouri’s NFL contingent barely outnumbers Wyoming’s House contingent, and are much less effective (exception being Justin Gage’s huge game a few weeks ago).
But 2009 promises to be different.  And by […]

I figure this is the last chance to care about lines, so I’m going to care about all of them (Scipio can make you care about the really bad ones).  And that’s a whole hell of a lot of caring - there are 34 bowl games!  Fifty-seven percent of all D1-A schools go bowling.  I’m not really complaining because […]

As the Autumn leaves fall, and we experience our yearly Big 12 Title beat down at the hands of the Sooner, its time to start thinking about basketball. Judging by the crowds at Mizzou Arena, not too many people have given much thought to Coach Mike Anderson and the Tigers, and I am no exception.  […]

I have a legal pad filled with college football research ideas and data.  One of those ideas is “conferences’ non-con schedules.”  I’m happy to report that I can cross this off my list without doing a thing.  srr50 at Barking Carnival put together some interesting numbers and analysis regarding conference scheduling tendencies and results.  Check it out.
  A […]

according to bracketology guru Joe Lunardi…
But simply being tournament bound isn’t the most exciting part.  We are an 11th seed and get to play 6th seed Kansas in the first round!!!
Seriously, this is ESPN.com, this is Joe Lunardi, the self described inventor of bracketology.  Perhaps I set my standards too high but the editorial review of things that […]

Back after the Okie State game, I wrote about the call to kick a field goal on fourth and less than a yard.  To be honest, while I really questioned the call and still do, the more rational part of my brain thought I was making too much of a single play in a game […]

That wasn’t fun.  Any feelings of hope manifested during the first quarter quickly evaporated as our already depleted secondary started going down and the offense played about as poorly as it could.  The evil Oklahomans bagged their prey early and toted it off the field (slowly, though, as their wagon lost a wheel and got […]

On the eve of what everyone expects to be a Tiger slaughter, a former Tiger foe proves the unthinkable CAN be achieved.  The 7-5 Buffalo Bulls knocked off the undefeated Ball State Cardinals. 
These were the same Bulls whose defense was ranked 11th in the MAC and 94th in the FBS.  The same Bulls who were 15.5 point underdogs.  The same Bulls […]
