Between Kansas dominating and K-State emerging, the story of Mizzou steadying has been easily missed in Kansas City.
Oh, the Tigers are sputtering now. Justin Safford’s injury exposed a lack of depth and dropped Missouri to a No. 10 seed. It’s hard to imagine them playing past this weekend, but that’s not the point.
A year after losing three 1,000-point scorers — DeMarre Carroll, Leo Lyons and Matt Lawrence — Anderson put together perhaps his best coaching job and has positioned Missouri as a perennial NCAA Tournament team. There is a stability here now that hasn’t existed since Norm Stewart’s glory days.
"I don’t think when Quin (Snyder) was doing it he was building it on that solid a foundation," athletic director Mike Alden says. "… The image and brand is as strong nationally as I’ve seen personally since coach Stewart was here at Mizzou. That brand has been re-energized, reaffirmed nationally again. (Anderson) has developed a national brand for our program again."

Missouri: Bears repeating: the Tigers have one quality win since the end of January, and two in the last nine weeks. The metrics love them, but they’re undersized for a BCS team, so they get killed on the glass (323rd on defensive boards), they don’t shoot all that well (183rd on twos) and few teams in the field get to the line less than they do. Their matchup with Clemson is one of those that inspired the rant the other day, because these are the guys that teams like Cornell, Northern Iowa and Richmond have to be just aching to play. They can probably get Clemson to turn the ball over plenty to win the sloppiest first-round game, and a second-round matchup with West Virginia would be an interesting contrast in styles.

I saw more on Tuesday that leads me to believe it's going to be a scrum for the No. 2 quarterback job. A few highlights: WR T.J. Moe put on a dazzling double move on Harrison during 1-on-1 passing drills and hauled in a 30-yard pass from QB Blaine Gabbert. It was the kind of move Moe couldn't make last season while he recovered from foot surgery. He's going to earn a prominent spot in the WR rotation by the time they start keeping score for real.

Hey J-school types...
Gill, hired during a real piss-shitter of a coaching search to replace fat fucking bastard Mark Mangino, is being paid a shitload of money to take over a Kansas program worth jackshit prior to Mangino’s positively fucking huge ass putting the fucking program on the goddamn college football map
Isn’t that a run-on sentence? Either way, that sentence reeked of awesomeness…..
I need my AP stylebook...
… to make sure all of that verbiage is properly utilized. Give me a moment.

Bill Self may preach a "Magic Level"
But magic is not the means by which money finds its way illegally into the wallets of Kansas basketball players.
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
proof?
Seriously, that’s a BS thing to say for a couple of reasons…#1…you have no proof. You’re speculating and throwing stuff at the wall and seeing if it sticks or not. #2…As a Mizzou fan, you or I or anyone else can’t exactly act like our program has been squeaky clean. It may be now and frankly, I’ve seen enough of Anderson to have no reason to suspect anything…but this university is tainted by a little thing called Ricky Clemmons.
I know you’re an eager young buck…I was there too. But you seriously need to check yourself….try to show a little class. That’s why we’re better than Kansas fans…we have class.
