Mizzou Basketball Links
Obviously there's only so much you can conclude about a coaching staff without seeing all the pieces work together during an actual recruiting or basketball season, but it's hard to complain about what's been compiled so far...

- The Trib: Kenji Jackson sets example for MU defender
Jerrell Jackson caught a case of the Wobbly Leg on March 19 midway through the spring’s first scrimmage. As he extended for a James Franklin pass down the seam, Jackson’s day met its abrupt end.
He played the role of bug. Strong safety Kenji Jackson was the windshield, leaving his teammate splattered on Faurot Field, his legs wobbling as he walked off.
"I know Jerrell’s probably upset," Kenji Jackson said after the scrimmage. "I’m just trying to do my job. I know he’s doing his job, too."
Thursday, it was Tavon Bolden’s turn to make a receiver’s knees weak. This time, tight end Michael Egnew made a catch for a short gain but crash-landed when Bolden speared the 6-foot-6 All-American, sending him head over heels into the turf.
Yesterday, Kenronte Walker joined the club, walloping slot receiver Gahn McGaffie with such force the safety’s helmet popped off, tumbling away faster than McGaffie as he plodded back to the sideline.
While Missouri’s quarterback race has commanded the headlines this spring and its defensive front has controlled the line of scrimmage, the back end of the defense is not so quietly making an impression.

Big 12 Football Links
Is it just me, or are people going overboard with the superlatives about the Big 12-Fox deal? Obviously it's impressive, but in the end, doesn't this work out to the $15 million/year or so that we were expecting (when including the ABC/ESPN piece of the equation)? Are we just dealing with a "soft bigotry of low expectations" situation here, where nobody actually expected Beebe to deliver on what he promised? Am I missing something? Don't get me wrong: it's a solid deal, but ... it's still the deal we were more-or-less expecting/demanding last summer, isn't it?

142 days
I love reading these links. I am now officially addicted to RMN (my wife can ahem thank you now)
142 days until we can hopefully put the last pieces into why Mizzou is not the “elite” team status that so many seek, multiple National Titles. I like seeing the positive articles on our football outlook.
The Frank Haith articles has me ready to Mizzou bball to get recognized too.

my g/f hates this site...
My first addiction was Arrowhead Pride which she hates and now this site is my fix which she truly hates…
but her being a KU fan she hates anything MU except for me.

But seriously folks, I have a girlfriend.
I SWEAR. She doesn’t really care one way or another about any of the SB Nation sites unless they’re talking about her.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
in my wife's eyes, I'm turning into the Huh husband.
Like our huh kids because of Facebook. She is pretty cool at my Mizzou addiction but now that those 150 days of no Mizzou football or bball are interrupted with the “Huh?” everytime she asks me a question.
by McZou on Apr 14, 2011 9:33 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I just say yes
If she is asking me a question, she probably wants something. Since I am for the last . . . I lost count, I just give up. It lets me read rockm and avoid losing.

Get them involved
My husband loves me spouting off about MIzzou stuff.
Actually he thinks I am kind of annoying now with all my facts & figures. I have out-nerded him which is quite the task.
by tigers and chiefs fan on Apr 14, 2011 10:45 AM CDT up reply actions
Right on point tigers and chiefs fan.
My wife at first was asking how in the world do I know these things about Mizzou sports when we are so far away from Columbia. As expansion talk happened last summer I was able to calm her down and talk numbers (she likes numbers) which helped her stay with an even keel. Now after the Haith hire I sent out a little summary e-mail to most of my in-laws to “calm the seas” if you will.
My wife likes the nerd I am, and during some trivia nights I blow people outta the water with Mizzou stuff. Since I only started following Mizzou once there in grad. school it is shocking to most, but my wife loves it now.
She asks me all the time about what everyones’ take is on this or that happenings all things Mizzou.

Yes - I am sort of the voice of reason
for my crazy Mizzou friends.
I love trivia night.

Atleast the Big 12 tv deal keeps up with the Big 10 and the SEC tv deals.
That should make Nebraska regret their decision to leave. Right on Beebe! As long as Texas is happy.

Enjoy reading articles like the Trib's on the secondary about the big hits in practice....
but its just that, practice and scrimmage. There’s no substitute for “in game” experience. Color me cautiously optimistic for this unit in the fall.
Just a guess since I'm not watching practices
but the young QB’s probably have something to do with their recievers getting layed out too.
OT - for fans of Parks and Recreation on NBC
My cousin (a Mizzou alum) will be making his TV debut tonight on Parks and Recreation. For those of you familiar with the show, he will be playing the brother of Andy Dwyer. Not sure how much he’ll be on, but apparently he does have some lines (if they aren’t edited out…never know until it airs).
It’s on tonight at 9:30 Eastern, 8:30 Central.
Neat-o
That’s pretty sweet.

What's the deal with the baseball team
might be time for a coaching change (like the Cardinals)

Alden has shown extreme patience, especially with the lower-revenue sports...
…and he’ll continue to do so. Jamieson proved too much in the last decade to not give him a ton of rope here.
As for what’s the deal with the team … sounds like just about everything. Iffy hitting, iffy pitching, iffy defense, a couple of new coaches not pressing the right buttons, etc. (I’ll let trripleplay from Simmons Field take it from here…)
It's depressing to see
I think the coaching exodus has hurt them quite a bit, since so much of college baseball is player development.

There's no real prospects on the team this season.
And some injuries to the key pitchers to boot. I can think of a pitcher/utility player who’s available though. They should totally put him on the team. Good defense, switch hitter… I need to get in shape though. Sigh.

No news is good news. Maybe they were tired of hearing bad news.

If that isn't a shot at the label "liberal media"
I don’t know what is.
