2 Comments / basketball, Big 12, college basketball, Sports / By

Facebook and Twitter were great entertainment Saturday. Really enjoyed Kansas fans comparing their win over Baylor to Missouri’s win over the Bears.

Without Laurence Bowers, most pegged Missouri as a bubble team. Nobody thought the Tigers would look as good as they have in the first two months of the season, but they’re two games away from entering Big 12 play undefeated.

Snake. Traitor. Turncoat. A friend even asked how many times I’d refer to former Missouri coach Mike Anderson as a scumbag in this blog. But here’s the deal: College sports is business. It’s about money. If you’re a coach, it’s all about that “destination job.” Arkansas, while no better than Missouri (especially in its current
