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.

Missouri is Lucky to Still Be Playing

My beloved Missouri Tigers are in a funk. It seems they couldn't fall out of a boat and hit water. Lately the shooting has been horrendous and Kim English continues to fire away. Mr. English is a lot like Will Rogers, except that English has never met a shot he didn't like. And the poor shooting hurt the Tigers down the stretch as they lost their last three conference games. I have a feeling that will come back to bite them in the butt when the tournament committee makes it's selections for the "Big Dance".

The Tigers dodged a bullet last night against Texas Tech and held on to win 88-84. At times they look brilliant and at other times they look like mental midgets. I am not sure what the problem is. But, Mike Anderson has better figure it out fast. Up next this evening is Texas A&M in Kansas City. The Aggies won earlier this season down in College Station. Hopefully Mizzou will defend it's home soil, but I'm not holding my breath.

How 'Bout Them Tigers!

My beloved Missouri Tigers ran their unbeaten streak to six this afternoon with a surprisingly easy 30-9 win over Texas A&M down in College Station. Missouri played, what I think is, their best game of the season to date. The offense, defense and special teams were outstanding. The Tigers jumped to a 16-zip halftime lead and tacked on two more TDs in the second half.

With the win the 19th ranked Tigers will come home next weekend to host the Oklahoma Sooners who are also undefeated. There are rumors that ESPN's "Game Day" will finally make it to Columbia and that the game will be on in prime time. (Even if it doesn't start at seven, ABC has said the game will begin at 2:30 as part of it's national coverage package).

So, yep, I am pumped about the Tigers. M-I-Z!!!
