Let’s remember some March Madnesses of yesteryear

Mizzou Links for Monday, March 24

Remembering March Madness of the past

Welcome to the third week of COVID-19 2020 here in these United States. As usual, I hope you all are staying safe and healthy and don’t have too much to worry about other than, you know, the pandemic.

We’re reaching the point where even tangential Missouri stories are drying up, so the Mizzou beat is thinning out. On Sunday, though, everyone must have been feeling nostalgic, because we got an influx of, “let’s remember some good times,” posts.

  • Dave Matter looked back at this past season in Mizzou basketball through the lens of the three-point shot — OK, FINE it’s not technically memories of March Madness, but it’s March and we’re all going mad so we’re counting it.

So what’s your favorite March Madness memory? As I was going back over some of mine, I found myself lost in the 2009 Sweet 16 win over Memphis, specifically at the point where the below link starts. That was probably one of my earliest memories as a Mizzou fan, and I hold it closely.

More Links:

Generally this is where we deposit the Missouri-related links that don’t fit with the bigger theme. HOWEVER, there are only so many of those to go around these days.

So as long as I’m doing links (Mondays and Tuesdays!) I’ll be posting stuff that’s getting me through this craziness.

  • I won’t post anything directly related to all the COVID-19 projections because let’s face it, we’re in a pretty bleak period for such things! For anyone unaware, two Mizzou employees tested positive yesterday, so I hope you all are staying safe and healthy.
  • I’ve had a lot of time on my hands to catch up on some movie watching, and this weekend brought a real gem to the streaming world: Amazon Prime’s Blow The Many Down. Recommended for any fans of dark comedy and small town drama in the style of early Coen Brothers.
  • Hip-hop/R&B/Pop lovers: Multi-hyphenate Donald Glover surprise released his latest album under the Childish Gambino moniker, 03.15.20, early on Sunday morning. It’s quite good, but very experimental — it won’t be for everyone. It takes about an hour for a full listen.
  • Seth Wickersham at ESPN has an in-depth examination of the Tom Brady — New England Patriots breakup. It’s quite satisfying for all of us non-Pats fans out there.
