So many sports, so little time
There’s a lot happening for Tiger teams and fans over the next few days, so forgive me if this blog seems like a sports page right now.
First, as we cover in Mizzou Wire, the soccer team hosts the NCAA tournament at Walton Stadium in Columbia Nov. 16 and 18. It’s the third trip to the NCAAs for the No. 23 team and Big 12 Coach of the Year Bryan Blitz since he joined the program.
Other Mizzou teams are heading west. Coach Gary Pinkel leads his football team in its last “away” game Nov. 17 at Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan. With BCS No. 2 Oregon losing last night, this game — and all that follow — takes on even more significance for the BCS No. 5 Tigers and other top Big 12 teams. (On a side note, there’s a Chase Daniel for Heisman campaign underway, and fans can add their vote.)
While the football team’s season is heading toward a climax, Mizzou basketball is just getting started. Mike Anderson’s squad takes on Southern Nov. 16 at home in Mizzou Arena, then goes to Kansas City for the last rounds of the CBE classic Nov. 19 and 20.
Speaking of Kansas City, that’s where coaching legend Norm Stewart will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on Nov. 18.
Like I said, there’s a lot happening.
not to mention, ….Mike Anderson’s return to Arkansas for the basketball game tonight is a huge story in razorback land.
