Less than two months after Mizzou QB Ashton Glaser was arrested for being punched in the face another Mizzou QB, Corbin Berkstresser, was arrested for a hit and run incident when he left the scene after crashing into a parked car. For a position that relies on making good decisions Mizzou’s quarterbacks seem to be practicing some rather bad judgement…but when your coach is getting DUI’s I guess you don’t have much to look up to.

Missouri has reclaimed it’s title of the of Meth Capital USA by recording a whopping 2,096 meth lab busts in 2011. It’s closest competition was Tennessee’s with 1,687 busts. “Missouri had been the nation’s top meth-producing state every year from 2003-2009″ until Tennessee over took them in 2010.
The article also states:
“One staggering statistic shows just how prevalent the drug is in Missouri. According to the AP, in 2011, Jefferson County, which is just south of St. Louis County, had 253 seizures. That’s more than Texas, Florida, and California combined. Those three states had a total of 219 meth lab busts.“
Overall this is an unprecedented run for a state that is not known for sustained achievement. Maybe Mizzou’s athletic programs could learn a thing or two about winning titles from the large population of meth manufacturers in Missouri.

Mizzou is well known for doing two (and two things only) things well 1)talk shit and 2)under achieve. This usually makes for a rather annoying regular season and rather gratifying post season. This year’s basketball team proved to be no different. Despite playing a horrible strength of schedule during the non-conference season and not winning the Big12 conference Mizzou fans still insisted that their streak of never making it the Final Four (second winningest team in the Tourney never to make a FF) would end this year.
They point to a Big 12 tournament title as proof enough that belong in the same conversation as Kentucky, Syracuse, and North Carolina. To them winning the Big 12 tournament was a greater feat than winning a conference championship consisting of 18 regular season games over two and half months at both home and away venues. Surely the NCAA would recognize the greatness of beating unranked Oklahoma St, unranked Texas, and Baylor. A number one seed was theirs for the taking, right?
Wrong! The NCAA selection committee ended up giving the tigers the LAST 2 seed. So what would Mizzou do with an easy match-up and chip on their shoulder?…choke. Mizzou’s loss to 15 seed Norfolk St. was just the fourth time in NCAA history that a 15 seed has beaten a 2 seed.
Here are some media reactions from around the country.
