MU Tigers

Since bragging on my Missouri Tigers earlier this month after they beat the Kansas Jayhawks they have done absolutely nothing positive. They have lost three in a row to Kansas State, Iowa State and this afternoon Nebraska.

The win over KU was a fluke. Coach Quin Snyder is certainly shaping his future with the University as he continues to be outcoached by his peers in the Big XII.

Earlier this week, the Kansas City Star's Wright Thompson told this interesting tale of Snyder's perspective on life in the big time world of NCAA Division one basketball and his own job at Mizzou. This article is property of the Kansas City Star.

It's too bad the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch is incapable of such fine journalism. Well, let me correct that. It has several writers who are capable of such work, but their editors don't have a clue that readers would like to read more than the constant attacks on the MU Athletic program. But maybe there is hope for the Saint Louis rag. One of it's editors did have the sense to re-publish the article in Saint Louis later in the week.

Hey Post-Dispatch get your head out of your ass!
