We're going to try a slightly new format for Mizzou Links now. Since this is more water cooler than information thread, and since the Link Dump style only ends up getting most links ignored, I'm going to post only three topics, max, here. Anything else I find that's worth talking about, I'll make a separate post for it. Let me know what you think. Do we even need more than one topic here?
1. Recruiting never stops
Mizzou is being very aggressive with its offers this year, and it will be very interesting to see how these final 13-18 commits play out. There are a lot more than 13-18 kids thinking highly of Missouri at the moment.

3. #USMNT
I'm definitely not outraged that Donovan didn't make the team ... but I'm sad. I just kept assuming it would all work out just fine even though I knew it might not.

And by the way ... as I mentioned a while back, I contributed quite a bit to this year's Athlon preview magazines. If you're interested, you can order either the national or regional previews, with any cover you want, here. Use "14FBNC" as the discount code, and you can get $1 off and free shipping. And so ends today's public service announcement.
