The Missouri Tigers didn't have too much trouble last night as they beat the number five ranked Oklahoma Sooners in Columbia 73-64. The Tigers harassed the OU guards into numerous turnovers and frustrated Sooners post man Blake Griffin into several key mistakes. Griffin is projected by many to be an NBA lottery pick later this year.
The win gives 12th ranked Missouri a perfect 18-0 record for the season at Mizzou Arena. And the win improves Mizzou to 25-5 and 12-3 in conference. Oklahoma falls to 26-4 and is also 12-3 in conference.
Up next for the Tigers is Texas A&M in College Station on Saturday afternoon.

No One's Worth That Much
Apparently the Los Angeles Dodgers have lost their minds. It's being reported the team will pay Manny Ramirez 45 million dollars over the next two years to play the outfield.
Granted, Ramirez has a .314 lifetime average and has hit 527 home runs in his career. But, for crying out loud. Ramirez is 37 years old and has an attitude. Remember, this is the same dude who knocked down his team's travelling secretary last summer, because the man couldn't come up with a boat load of tickets for a sell out game at the last minute.
Manny you are a selfish jerk. Dodger management you are officially out of your minds. Dodger fans; you are going to be digging a lot deeper to pay for this.

The Irish Ale is Here
I got my first taste of Boulevard Brewing's Irish Ale this afternoon. It is a seasonal that is available until about St. Patrick's Day.
It's reddish in color (as you would expect) and has a nice toasty flavor. It comes from the blending of six different malts. The batch this year is as good as I remember it in past years. Hats off to Boulevard's brew master.

It May be the Worst Show Ever
I have been meaning to write this for several weeks. There is a show on NBC on Thursday nights called "Kath and Kim".
It's awful. The writing is lame, the acting is lame and the whole show sucks. Avoid this program and change the channel if it comes on your TV.

Ouch...
My beloved Missouri Tigers took a trip west today to Lawrence, Kansas.
The outcome wasn't very good. Kansas beat the Tigers 90-65 and had the game easily in control ten minutes into the affair. Mizzou was ice cold from the field and had one of it's worst shooting days of the season. But, the chickenhawks, played well and were by far the better team on the court.
Hopefully, the Tigers can redeem themselves in two weeks at the Big 12 tournament.
