Another Good Sports Weekend

My beloved Missouri Tigers picked up win number ten this weekend as they defeated the Ole Miss Rebels 24-17.  Up next for Mizzou is "Johnny Football" and his Texas A&M Aggies.  The Tigers are now ranked #5 in the latest Associated Press poll.

The St. Louis Rams continued on their winning ways too.  They clobbered the Chicago Bears yesterday afternoon 42-21.  The Rams are now 5-6 and will fly to San Francisco this weekend to play the 49ers.

And if the football wins weren't enough, the Blues continued their winning ways with an easy 6-1 win over Dallas on Saturday night and Mizzou's basketball team improved to 5-0 Saturday afternoon with a 72-63 win over Gardner-Webb.

Mizzou Up to #8 in the Latest BCS Poll

I went through some football withdrawal this weekend.  My Missouri Tigers were on their second bye of the season and the St. Louis Rams were also on their NFL bye.

Even though my teams weren’t playing this weekend my Tigers are up to number eight in the latest BCS rankings, which if I understand correctly, would put them into a BCS game if it was played today.  Obviously they won’t be played until the first week of January.

In the interim, the Tigers have Ole Miss this weekend in Oxford and then end the season at home against Texas A&M in Columbia two days after Thanksgiving.  Go Tigers!  M-I-Z!!!

...and to the Missouri Men

Mizzou's baseball team is also continuing it's season after a tough loss in the Big 12 championship game yesterday afternoon to Texas in Oklahoma City. The Tigers are the number two seed in the Oxford, Mississippi regional and will take on Western Kentucky Friday. The winner of the regional will advance to the Super-Regional the following week. The winners of the Super-Regional will advance to the College World Series in Omaha the first weekend in June.
