Guest Post: Ron Swanson and the Pyramid of Greatness
Today, we're thrilled to present a submission from our guest poster, Ron Swanson. Take it away, Ron.
Hello, my name is Ron Swanson, and you may recognize me as the burly gentleman from the NBC documentary on the Parks Department in the town of Pawnee, Indiana. Most recently, you may have seen me coaching in a youth basketball league and instilling the lessons of the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness in America's next generation.
Recently, I was approached by the fine young gentlemen (and Bill) of this here weblog and asked to create a Pyramid of Greatness particular to your institution of higher learning. And in my effort to minimize the amount of work I do for the city of Pawnee, I was happy to oblige. Below, I present to you, the Swanson Pyramid of Mizzou Greatness. Thank you, and God Bless America.

So much greatness. So much positivity, well mostly.
Just epic. This will join the “real” Pyramid in my office.
It's all about Positivity.
Off Topic:
Just stumbled upon an article about Brain Grawer. Some one needs to do a “Where Are They Now” Mizzou basketball piece.

So basically it's NCAA mandated that KU gets every 50-50 call if they are at home?
Not afraid to nitpick
to be fair,
i’d say any home team in the big 12 benefits from this rationale. aw, screw it. why be fair to ku? EFF ’EM.

Called it earlier this year that KU's home streak would end this year...
But I said it would be at the hands of Mizzou. Does this count as being half right?

So you guys seem really in tune with whats going on with Mitchell
Haven’t heard anyone talking about some decision that might come down today. Is this just another big rumor or is there some validity to it?
