Mizzou Basketball Links

The alarm went off mighty early this morning ... but I guess that's alright since Mizzou won. Despite a general lack of aesthetics, Mizzou is now 3-2 on the road in Big 12 play this season. (Here's your reminder that they were 1-7 last year.)

One last thought on DGB: it struck me as I was perusing other sites last night that the last two times Mizzou fans got this confident/anxious/terrified about something on the Internet were MIZZOUEXPANSIONAPALOOZA™ 2010 and Paintergate. Both ended in crushing disappointment at the time for Mizzou ... but then Mizzou ended up in the SEC instead of the Big Ten, and they ended up with the front-runner for national coach of the year instead of Matt Painter. Losing DGB tomorrow would be disappointing, but if trends hold, Mizzou will just keep moving forward regardless. I'm still confident about DGB, but I'll move on with my life if it doesn't work out.

I'll be in Springfield tomorrow for DGBpalooza, but that's all I've got until then.
