After having watchable sports for 7 straight months, it's always so strange when the spigot just COMPLETELY shuts off between the Final Four and Labor Day.

Osage River in mid-Missouri.

Yeah, I think Barrett has the higher ceiling, though that's assuming either stays. You had to assume with Crowe coming in, at least one was going to see the writing on the wall.

Good scenery, good company, and trout streams.

Heaven on earth.

I will until FBR throws me in the river

That was a deeply unfortunate sequence

Finish the job, gentlemen.

Yup. The push right before halftime will be very important IF he can get going offensively.

With rare exceptions, watching Mizzou in the NCAA tournament is such a miserable slog.

Reports indicate that within minutes of meeting the grim reaper, he roundhouse kicked him and took over his job. He now runs both heaven and hell.

Really want to go to the NCAA tournament game in STL, but tickets are in the "need to win the powerball real quick first" range.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to see Mizzou in the tournament here in St. Louis. This is so bad ass

Mizzou lost three straight and got a home game in the NCAA tournament game. That stuff never happens to us

SUPER EXCITED AND NOT EVEN REMOTELY STRESSED ABOUT THE SELECTION SHOW. NO WAY THIS COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.

This admin is best understood as a SEC school with its best years a decade removed that brought the old regime back based on the fans clamoring, but the first season did not even result in a bowl game and the second is looking worse

In a sentence I never thought I'd type, Utah State beating San Diego State may have just handed Mizzou a NCAA tournament bid.

It took too long, but Arkansas takes out the trash. Though it feels mean to compare Chris Beard to trash. Way too insulting to the trash.

I swear if Ole Piss steals our NCAA tournament bid....

Time to cheer hard for VCU to win the A10 tournament

I know we lost 3 straight and I'm not sure we deserve it... but I still REALLY care whether Mizzou gets a game in Dayton that I'm pretty sure they'll lose.

I would be hard-pressed to explain why, but it's legitimately fairly important to me. Blame my parents for raising me into this silly fandom.

The Ozarks in early spring.

I've seen a lot, but this is right up there in terms of the most unapologetically unhinged weather forecasts I've seen.

Really good day for Mizzou hoops' bubble chances today, by which I mean it has been a horrendous day for other bubble teams. Just need Northwestern to close out Indiana now.

*Gonzaga vs Santa Clara. Though it may not matter much since Santa Clara is pretty likely in anyway
