Mizzou Sports

This year has unquestionably been my most enjoyable as a college sports fan. Both football and basketball have gotten onto the national stage and performed well everything considered. Football was obviously a diappointment but if you figure that the only reason you have those expectations are because the team is so good, then you've got something to be excited about (especially moving forward with an established program). My appreciation for the football team can't really be expressed well enough because they've finally given us hope. Major props go out to the three seniors that stuck it through the tough times when Anderson inherited the fiasco that was the Quin Snyder era. Three years, five players susupended for a fight, and benching of your leading scorer later, you've got yourself an Elite Eight force that plays tough with two of the top five teams in the nation. And we're even more excited to see them moving forward as well because we're returning seven players who played more than ten minutes a game. Now all we need to do is sign Jarrid Famous and we're going to be a great team next year as well. A team that was picked to be in the top seven of it's CONFERENCE and now sits proudly in the top eight teams in the COUNTRY have a lot to be happy about. It's been a pleasure watching all 41 wins from both programs and I couldn't be happier with either.
