Mizzou Links, 2-21-14: Jabari Brown, spring football, and #Stubble

Jabari Brown's off-night on Wednesday was so rare that we're still talking about it. Plus: spring football is less than three weeks away (!!!), Team Stubble records a big win, and the Fightin' Pingetons have won two in a row.

1. Wednesday was still a win (albeit a weird one)

The Trib: Brown struggles through off-night
The Missourian: Missouri freshmen give men's basketball needed boost
KC Star: Mizzou’s calculated defensive gamble pays off against Vanderbilt

2. Recruiting never ends

2015
PowerMizzou: 'Something feels right' for Daniel Imatorbhebhe

I believe that name is pronounced "Ek-were-ek-woo."

3. Spring ball

The Trib (Behind the Stripes): MISSOURI POSITION PRIMER: Offensive Line
KC Star: Missouri to start spring football March 11

And for grins...

The Missourian: No. 16 Missouri softball defeats No. 14 Arizona

Hell yes.

So Mizzou's newfangled pitching staff has faced two ranked teams so far -- one on a neutral field (Arizona) and one on the road (Baylor) -- and has allowed two earned runs in 13 innings. Casey Stangel allowed two in six to Baylor, and Tori Finucane just allowed none in seven to Arizona last night.

6. This is either dumb or incredibly tacky

Dumb: Bielema doesn't understand that he's actually accidentally trying to outlaw either running or the game of football itself.

Tacky: He's just trying to win a political argument, and he's willing to reference a semi-unrelated death to do it.
