I'm at the arena already

watching the women play Chicago State. They got off to a 22-0 start and lead the Cougars 38-17 at the break.

1st half highlight – hearing a CS player shriek in agony as her ACL pops like s water baloon. There are about 400 people here, and her catterwalling echoed for about a minute.

This game is evidence that Mizzou is awesome.

It’s common knowledge that Coppin State is an elite team, and should challenge for the national title. Dominating an opponent of this caliber should vault Mizzou to No. 1.
