Mizzou Links, 4-22-14: Trent Hosick announces transfer, and other QB tidbits

Trent Hosick decides to transfer, Chase Daniel attended the Black & Gold Game, Drew Lock lands in the Pressure Chamber, and other things that have nothing to do with the basketball coaching search.

And a happy birthday to The Beef, the best wartime consigliere in the business...

So the Internet went full-on stupid last night when it comes to the coaching search. As is customary, we'll have a standalone post about the search later this morning. Here's everything else happening in the Mizzou universe...

This is in no way a surprise, but the timing isn't quite what I expected. Mizzou coaches had professed a desire to get Hosick on the field in one way or another this fall, and I'd have figured a transfer wouldn't come until next year after everybody figured out what that role would be. But in the end, when you have a stud sophomore starter, you're going to lose some backups who want to see the field at some point. I wish Hosick luck. He apparently just needed to be a couple of years younger.
