I hope you are doing well. I am OK but have been fighting a cold / flu for the past two and a half weeks. That will teach me to get a Flu shot. I got the shot over two weeks ago and have been coughing and felt rundown ever since. But, I am still doing fine.
-Since I last wrote my beloved Missouri Tigers have won three more games and are now 8-2. One of those wins was a huge victory last Saturday night on the road at College Station, Texas. The Tigers beat the Aggies 34-27. As I write this I am looking forward to the Tigers game tonight in Knoxville against the Tennessee Volunteers. Should the Tigers win tonight and next Friday against Arkansas, Mizzou will be back in the SEC Championship game for the second year in a row. The Tigers are in first place in the East and control their own fate.
-This could be a long basketball season for Mizzou. The Tigers lost their first game of the season against UMKC at home in Columbia. (That's the University of Missouri - Kansas City). They've won twice since then against Valparaiso and Oral Roberts. Missouri will get a tough test on Monday when they travel to Maui to play second ranked Arizona.
-The St. Louis Rams are showing signs of life but it is probably too late. Since I wrote last the Rams have beaten two of the league's premier teams. The Rams knocked off San Francisco on the road three weeks ago and then beat Denver and Peyton Manning last week 22-7. But, they remain an enigma. The Rams have also been beaten badly in two of the last three weeks by Kansas City and Arizona. I can't figure out the Rams.
-The new TV season is a disappointment. But, one program I have been watching is now on my "Record All Episodes" on my DVR. What show is it you ask? It's called "Madam Secretary". The show airs at 7 pm on Sunday evenings. I have always been a fan of Tia Leoni and she is believable as the US Secretary of State. My only criticism of the show is the producers and writers tend to dumb things down. I think the viewers are smarter than CBS thinks they are. If you haven't yet watched add it to your DVR list.
-That's all I have for now. I doubt I will have the time to write again before next Thursday. Let me take this chance to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving! I know I have a tremendous amount to be thankful for this year.
Take good care of yourself and check back for updates.
