Mizzou Links 8-03-07

The Boy is off galavanting again today, so here is what I could find:

  • Nice write-up by Gabe D. at Powermizzou who interviewed Coach Mike Anderson and asked him about how the summer goes for coaches and his thoughts on his type of recruit and class of 2008. Find it HERE
  • Some GREAT shots courtesy of ESPN.com of the Elite 11 camp. HERE is the compilation. Of the 15 shots, Chase Daniel is in SIX of them....no one else is even close to being in more than that.
  • Somewhere, ESPN's Pat Forde had this to say about Mizzou and the Big 10

""Ryan (Baltimore, Maryland): If the Big Ten expands in a few years, who do you think will be the most likely team they would look for and would accept the invitation.

Pat Forde: Good question to end on. I could see wanting further inroads into the East Coast market and perhaps finding a travel partner with Penn State. That could be a Syracuse or a Rutgers, although it's a long way from Piscataway to, say, Iowa City. Missouri would bring in the KC and St. Louis media markets without being a major threat to win anything glamorous. I don't think Louisville or Pitt fit the academic profile of Big Ten schools. That's my list of top candidates, unless Notre Dame suddenly changes its tune."

  • Mizzou Gymnastics adds an assistant coach by naming former national champion Amy Smith to the position
  • Mizzou Football Fan Day will be August 5th!
  • Mizzou Athletic Department also makes some news by adding Whit Babcock as the Sr. Associate Director of Athletics, who will oversee all things TSF, marketing, tickets and MSP.
  • By the way...snazzy new intro to mutigers.com just to get you pumped up for football season.
  • Congrats to Atch for winning the 1st Annual Frank Martin Haiku Contest on Tigerboard. Please let us know how you enjoy your prize
  • As teams across the country report to camp, a nice story about Va Tech and their return after the horror and tragedy of April 16th
  • And finally...Bob Stoops says names will return to the back of the OU jerseys....

Mizzou Links, 4-27-07

You can tell it's been a slow week when the last three posts have all been Mizzou Links posts...oh well...it happens...

  • The big (and pretty much only) news from yesterday is that Mizzou Softball swept Iowa State (a putrid 1-13 in Big XII play now) to move into a tie with Baylor for the Big XII top spot. Very cool. They're now 11-2 in conference and 35-19 overall. Oh, and Jen Bruck? Really good.
  • Sophomore Mizzou Gymnast Adrianne Perry finished 22nd overall at the NCAA's. Congrats, Adrianne. Here's a Trib profile of Perry.
  • And finally, good luck to Xzavie Jackson, Brian Smith, and others in the NFL draft this weekend. And good luck to The Beef in his quest to drink a different Budweiser product (at least part of one) for each pick in the first round. Some people are just overachievers.

Mizzou Links, 4-16-07

  • As was the fear, Mizzou baseball celebrated being ranked by losing 2 of 3 at home to #16 ATM this weekend. They're now 7-5 in conference.
  • Meanwhile, Mizzou softball split a pair with #2 OU. They're now 6-1 in the conference, behind only 9-0 Baylor. The Missourian had a nice Jen Bruck feature over the weekend.
  • Mizzou gymnastics finished 3rd at the NCAA regionals for the third straight year. Top 2 make the NCAA finals.
  • The Trib had a great Q&A with Mizzou's John Kelly about his trip to the Masters last week.
  • And if you're looking for a football fix, look no further than these scrimmage articles. Quick theme: defense was good, offense was bad.
