Mizzou Athletics Official Charges $7,600 on School Credit Card
Another Tiger was caught doing something dumb at a strip club.
With Mizzou’s history of dumbfounding indiscretion it should come as no surprise today that a standard audit of the Athletic Department’s business function revealed a $7,600 charge at a Las Vegas strip club. Michael Schumacher, the offending Tiger, had such a good time that he left a $2,000 dollar tip on the school’s dime.
While it is not a shock to hear news of Tiger’s getting caught doing stupid things, it is interesting that an athletic’s official would be so careless while Frank Haith is under investigation for taking players to strip clubs with prominent booster Nevin Shapiro while coaching at Miami.
I guess a Tiger can’t change it’s strips…er, stripes.

Crimson Tide Drown Mizzou
Another week in the SEC equals another loss for Mizzou. This time at the hands of an opponent only the most delusional Tiger fan thought they had a chance to beat, Alabama. It was a rain soaked afternoon where nothing went right for Mizzou from turnovers, missed tackles, poor decisions to this play by LaMichael Fanning, a Alabama defense player, who upended MU running back Russell Hansbrough with a WWF style move:
With 3 of Mizzou;s 4 SEC losses coming at home it appears that the notoriously poor traveling fan base has failed to show up to home games as well. The good news for the Tiger’s is that they cannot add to the L column this as they are on a bye.
Here is what the media had to say about Saturday’s dismal performance by the Tigers:
Mizzou run over by Alabama | MissourNet
The #1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide outgained Mizzou 533-126 and gained 362 yards on the ground with six rushing touchdowns in a 42-10 final at Faurot Field. Eddie Lacy rushed for 178 yards and three scores and T.J. Yeldon added 144 yards and two scores.
Lacy and Yeldon each scored two touchdowns in the first 24:20 of the game before lightning delayed the game for 40 minutes.

if you add the distance he (Bama RB Lacy) covered cutting across the field while outrunning much of the Mizzou defense, Lacy certainly topped 100 yards on that one carry.
That’s not something the junior does routinely given a full game. But his career-high 177 yards were the most glaring indictment of a Mizzou defense that had been fairly solid.

Both Vanderbilt and Mizzou were looking for their first SEC win of the season coming into this weekend’s match up and it was the visiting team that went home with a victory. With an 0-2 SEC record you could sense the desperation from the Tiger’s leading up to their game with the Commodores who are just 121-382-18 since joining the SEC:
Missouri targets Vandy for first SEC win | STL Today
If MU can’t win at home against a Vandy team averaging fewer than 10 points a game in FBS play, the Tigers will be making a dramatic statement about just how far they have to go be significant in the SEC.
—
“It’s about time we get one,” MU defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson said. “We need one right now.”
—
The Tigers’ first-team unit has produced just two touchdowns in the last nine quarters.
—
he (Pinkel) expressed concern that a certain “anxiety” arises when an offense struggles as players are “almost waiting for somebody to drop the football or miss a block.”
—
But unless it creates some breakthroughs to produce its first SEC win today, MU will start being seen as less “a player” in the league than as a distant wannabe.
The must win game apparently did not move Tiger fans to support their team by actually attending the home game at Faurot Field as ticket sales were well short of a sell out in one the SEC smallest stadiums:
Weak fan support for Tigers is embarrassing | KMOV Channel 4
We hear for months how fan support is going to increase so that we can hopefully fit in the SEC picture. Unless some large spike in support happens in between now and Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt, Mizzou will fail to sellout its second-ever SEC home game.
—
Mizzou could face some harsh ridicule from other SEC school fans. It should also be noted that Faurot Field is the tenth largest-capacity stadium in the SEC. So from where I’m sitting, we have our second-ever SEC home game, in an already undersized SEC-stadium, and will most likely not sellout the game.
Here’s a taste of what the media thinks of the SEC’s new pinata team:
Vandy hands Mizzou demoralizing defeat | STL Today
Challenging any lingering optimism about its debut season in the Southeastern Conference and calling into doubt its ability to reach an eighth straight bowl game, Mizzou tumbled to perennial SEC also-ran Vanderbilt 19-15 Saturday night at Faurot Field.
With the demoralizing defeat to one of the few SEC foes MU figured to beat, the Tigers fell to 3-3 overall and 0-3 in SEC play in its much-anticipated first season in the league as top-ranked Alabama comes calling next.
