Updated Poll numbers

Dave Matter provides the newest rankings for our Tigers...and they get hosed in the AP. While climbing to 21 in the coaches, the nation's 4th estate believe Nebraska's close loss is greater than Mizzou taking a I-AA to the woodshed, leaving the Huskers at 25. Also, notably, USC falls to 12. Fear the Ohio St. hangover...it's a new disease!

Okafor is leaving...no he's staying...

Okafor is leaving...no he's staying...

So, Okafor left the team Wednesday, but the AP is saying he's back on the team yesterday. So, will NU have a running game at the end of the year? STAY TUNED!

Question for our StL folk

Heading into St. Louis for the baseball game tonight. It's been a while since I've done such a thing, and didn't drive last time, so not sure where I should go to park. Was thinking the Arch parking garage, but I reckon that fills up quickly. Does anyone else have some ideas? More concerned with the distance, not really the amount (if it's 20, it's 20).

Jeff Gettys, who’s a scholarship linebacker who earned a scholarship here and is on every phase of our kicking game and is just a great attitude player, he tore his ACL. And so he’s going to be out for the remainder of the season. There was no meniscus tear or anything else, so that’s a positive from the standpoint of getting back earlier and rehabbing early.

From the Coaches Teleconference

Something needs to be done to keep these ACL's from quitting on us. Perhaps it's time for some kind of preemptive ACL surgery...like what the kids are doing with the Tommy John.

And now a word about parking...

If you haven't noticed (and you must have been under a rock to not), the parking at Football games has once again changed. As reported, the Reactor Field is no longer public. According to the MU TSF Parking Diagram, it is the current staff and media parking lot (that's a lot of media). The old lot for media and staff is now Y permit (that's across from the art building). Paying areas are Maryland and Parking Structure #7 (which will be refereed to as James) are $15 a pop. Additional to Maryland and James, the lot for the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center (behind Blood Center) is $15. This is a wonderful lot, and not because I work there. The VA parking lot is described as "Family Friendly." Not sure what this means, but don't bring lots of beer here. They may bust you.

There do not appear to be any other changes to the lots that I can tell. Nothing is posted about Turner, University, or Hitt St PS. Also, if you don't mind the walk, parking around the Vet School is normally open. Take Ashland Rd. I parked there last year without problem. About the same walk from Hitt or University PS.

Also, new signs have been posted on Providence both north and south bound as "No Parking, Tow Away." Don't tempt them. I don't recall anything south of the light by Hinkson, so you maybe able to park up the hill. It appears that parking along Stadium is still allowed (saw cars there this morning), at least west of Providence. There are No Parking signs (old) on Stadium east of Providence.

Remember, only you can save the environment and car pool.

Because I couldn't find it forever, and the beginning of football season demands escalation.

The question remains...which Tiger throws the trident?

Cowboys down a TE

Cowboys down a TE

From your man on the scene Tim Griffin, Tim Mosley of OSU has left the team for personal reasons. Perhaps tied to a restraining order. Does this complicate the Cowboys season?

Forde offers no love

In the opening Forde-Yard Dash, Pat picks the Big 12 to go 11-1 this weekend...though he doesn't say it, it's looking like he's got Mizzou to fall to Illinois (he doesn't call the Illinois-Missouri game as a possible upset in the Big 10 section). Or am I wrong?

Saw this on Dave's twitter page

I'm not a journalist, but there are some parallels to some issue we in the scientific community are having with availability of published reports (data generated by way of government funds is going to free distributed to the public...and the publishing houses that run our print articles aren't too pleased). Personally, this is a bunch of bunk. I wonder how it would effect the folks from Rivals and other websites.

VERY early bowl projections

VERY early bowl projections

The WWL has its college bowl projections out...not that they mean a whole lot, but Mark Schlabach has MU in the Insight vs. Wisconsin. The other feller, Bruce Feldman, doesn't have Mizzou anywhere, but does have Boise St. and the Fightin' Mormans in the BSC. Both have Ole' Miss as the SEC champ. Again, early, but interesting.
