Greetings friends, my life seems to get busier the older I get. So, here are some quick thoughts on what is happening in my world.
-I was angered to see Mizzou head coach Kim Anderson get fired by my Alma Mater; Missouri. Anderson showed improvement as he was asked and the team is clean. By, that I mean no recruiting or NCAA violations and the players are graduating. Cuonzo Martin has had success at Southwest Missouri State, Tennessee and California. But, I don't think he is the guy to take Mizzou to a Final Four. Time will tell. I just hope Missouri doesn't get in that rut of firing and hiring coaches every three to five years. Mizzou tried that in football for 25 years and it didn't work very well.
-I voted for Donald Trump. Actually I voted against Hilary Clinton. But, the more Trump governs as President of this country the more frustrated I become. Trump just doesn't seem to know when to shut the hell up. Maybe he will mature the longer he is president of the USA.
-The St. Louis Blues are like a Pogo stick. They are up and down. They win four or five in a row and then go on a six game losing streak. But, beware NHL teams. They have the players to take this team deep into the playoffs if not win the Stanley Cup.
Finally, I have no clue who will win the NCAA tournament. Of the remaining teams it could be one of about five in the tournament. If I were to pick a team at this point I would go with Kansas. You know I'm a Missouri Tiger fan, but Kansas is playing as well if not better than any other team still alive in the big dance. If Kansas doesn't win it beware the Tarheels.
