We start with softball today because ... well, duh. But do be sure to read about Jace Long and Mizzou Golf after the jump too. It was a helluva weekend for Mizzou spring sports. Meanwhile, keep the Joplin area in your thoughts as well. Donation link at the bottom of the post.

Cant help but chuckle at that article from kusports.com

not too many will care about the non-revenue sports, but it is telling of their athletic department as a whole

The nice part of this list is that

Gymnastics, Soccer, Volleyball and Baseball have all finished better in the Big12 in recent years. We have had a number of individual champions in many of the other sports (wrestling, track, etc.). Women’s bball is on the way up IMO as well. Not to mention, the AD has been profitable recently while making numerous facility upgrades for a large number of the sports listed.

All in all, we have an athletic department that we can be proud of and is still improving. Thanks for the list Andy—01.

Don't Haith the player, Haith the game.
