Chase Daniel for Heisman

I've been looking for a picture online of Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing with turf stuck in his helmet during the Mizzou-KU game and this is the best that I could do. It was amazing. Oh wait, there's a video of it (here).

Continuing on the Mizzou football theme, some friends and I went to a pep rally last night to send our boys down to San Antonio to play OU. It was cool, I guess. Claire and I realized that we really need to work on memorizing the words to the Mizzou fight songs (which are actually kind of hard). I saw Jeremy Maclin - who is amazing - so my night was complete. But not without the incredibly inspiring words of our QB Chase Daniel "It's this simple: Win." His rhetorical skills were the icing on the cake, especially since a video of him eating his own boogers (here) is going around Mizzou. Beautiful.

MU-KU game

This is the best that Mizzou football has done in a very long time. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Mizzou (where I go) is playing Kansas right now. Mizzou is ranked #4 in the country and Kansas is at #2.

My friend Allie's brother is at the game right now at the Chiefs Stadium in Kansas City. It's kind of funny how he got the ticket. He bought it online, paying $30 for the ticket and $120 for a rally towel that went with it. So, basically, this is how scalpers are getting around the anti-scalping laws.

In a silly yet descriptive article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (here) about Missouri state laws on scalping: "Missouri law doesn't outlaw ticket scalping for nonsports events. The law against scalping sports tickets is repealed effective Nov. 28. Anti-scalping ordinances in St. Louis and Kansas also will be abolished, a spokesman for Nixon has said."

I guess this is the same argument that says illegal drugs would be safer and more regulated if they were legal. Well, we'll see.
