Mizzou Links, 6-2-14: Permanent rivals, transfers, and SEC Network money

1. You can say that again

Post-Dispatch: Mizzou's year in sports full of surprises

2. I guess I was the only one...

...who enjoyed the current SEC basketball scheduling. I like that Mizzou plays everybody at least four times in three years; to me, that's the best way to become familiar with the league as a whole, even if the Tigers don't play home-and-away against Tennessee or Kentucky every year. Having three permanent rivals is fine ... but what if one of those is, like, Auburn or something? We want Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky/Florida, I assume, but what if we get Arkansas, Vanderbilt, and Mississippi State? And then we play Tennessee or Kentucky even less? That probably won't be the case, but you get the idea...
