Red Letter Day for Mizzou Football

The Missouri Tigers have landed the top rated high school recruit in the United States (according to Rivals.com). Dorial Green-Beckham of Springfield, Mo has decided to stay home and become a Missouri University football player. Beckham was sought after by Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama and 16 other schools. But, in the end Beckham chose Missouri because he reportedly was most comfortable around coach Gary Pinkel and his assistants.

Not only did DGB decide to become a Tiger so did Mr. Ohio football, Maty Mauk. Mauk was ranked by Rivals as the 8th best high school QB in the nation this year and in the top 16 of all players. Mauk was recruited by 21 D-1 schools and had offers from the likes of Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame and Illinois. But Mauk has chosen to become Mizzou's next franchise QB. By my calculation if he redshirts for a year, he will take over the reigns in Columbia in the fall of 2014.

In the coming years I look forward to hearing Tiger Radio's Mike Kelly call the words "Mauk to DGB and he takes it to the house"!

And CBS is No Better

While I wait for the Mizzou basketball game (see the post below), I am also aggravated with CBS TV's continuing usage of inane sound effects in their football coverage. I have the Alabama-Florida game turned on but the sound is muted. Every replay or graphic is accompanied by these obnoxious sounds. Wake up CBS, I haven't heard anyone yet who says they enjoy the noise you insist upon inflicting on your viewers.
