Missouri = Poor ticket sales for bowls?

Ed.: Bumped from FanPosts

Clearly that's our reputation, since we've been passed over in the last 3 years in favor of teams that we beat, ostensibly due to our inability to travel well. So, let's look at the bowls we've been in since 1983 (Holiday, Insight, Independence, Sun, Cotton, Alamo) and see if there is truth behind this reputation. Are bowl ticket sales hurt by having Mizzou as a participant?

Former Gov. Hearnes, 86, passed away Sunday

The Hearnes Center was named after him as he left office in 1972. And, no, it's not the Hearne's Center.

John stull gets 5 years after pleading guilty

A former Missouri football player has been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to burglary and possessing marijuana.

Twenty-one-year-old John Stull pleaded guilty Monday to charges of first- and second-degree burglary as well as the pot charge. The reserve defensive end was kicked off the Missouri team in January 2008 after playing sparingly as a redshirt freshman.

The first burglary involved the theft of a five-gallon can of gasoline and a fishing tackle bag worth $150. The second involved the theft of $4,000 worth of items from another home.

Stull was previously sentenced to two years' unsupervised probation after a February 2007 peace disturbance conviction and was arrested on suspicion of assault as a redshirt freshman in the fall of the same year.

Predicted paces for Triple Crown categories

by Andy--01 on Jul 11, 2009 1:29 PM EDT Comment 33 comments

Inspired by Derrick Goold's look at Pujols' chances of winning the batting title, I have taken a look at the numbers regarding the NL HR and RBI race. I believe (and I dont' think it's an uncommon belief) the biggest obstacle to Pujols getting the Triple Crown this season is the fact that he will likely be walked more and more as the season begins. Unfortunately, I don't have a way of using that as a predictor - if anyone does, please enlighten me. Also, I noted to day that STL has played more games than every team except Florida, which could be inflating El Hombre's stats. So, what I did was look at the top 7 in each category and find pace based on team games as well as games played and also looked at career rates in an attempt to predict where players might end up.

Kelly Thames new head coach at Pattonville

From what I can tell, this became official Tuesday night. Kelly will be a business teacher in addition to his coaching duties. Pattonville is about 3 times larger than his old school, but has been dreadfully bad - a 26.9% winning percentage.

Good luck Kelly!
