Beakers

As I write this I’m sitting in the waiting room of a lab in a major KC hospital. As I am want to do, I’m wearing a Mizzou shirt sitting quietly in the corner.
Out of the door comes some guy who was about 115 years old, looks over at me and says… Mizzou ay, well I went to KU, and proceeds to berate me and several others about how we we’re cowards for leaving the big 12 and how there football program will be light years ahead of ours and they can’t wait to .. etc etc..,
Now several things came to mind as a retort, but he was 179 years old. … So I just said we’re doing quite well without them, smiled and went back to reading..
My point is that the generational delusions of these people runs deep..wow.

Drinkwitz on with Barrett Sallee today

Just caught the last couple minutes. Barrett asked him about changing the calendar and Drink hit it out of the park: "At the end of the day, they pay me a lot of money. I don't even consider it a job what I do. It beats having a real job...They pay us way too much money to complain. Whatever they decide, I'll do it, and if it becomes too much work I'll try to become a cohost on your show"

My thoughts on the season

We're 4-0, ranked 11 and folks are complaining. I really don't understand why. We knew Brady wasn't a 1st round draft choice. We knew the O-line were replacing the whole blind side of our QB. We knew we were replacing 3 NFL players in our secondary. We knew we were going to have a first year placekicker. We know Drink struggles with time management at times. Yet, here we are, undefeated and still in total control of our destiny.

What this team is trying to do isn't going to be easy. Sure we're in the top 11, but in my opinion we don't have top 11 talent. Outside of Luther, who else on our team can you say without a doubt would start for every other team in the SEC? Once we realize we still don't have a team full of upper echelon players, then we should be satisfied with getting the W's by any means necessary.

FOOTBALL Brett Favre with Parkinson's Disease

Testifying to U.S. Congress on Tuesday, Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre revealed that he's recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, an incurable degenerative disorder.
The former Green Bay Packers star, 54, appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee as part of an ongoing investigation into the potential misuse of taxpayer money when he disclosed his medical condition.
"Sadly, I ... lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others," Favre said, per NBC News, "and I'm sure you'll understand why it's too late for me because I've recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's."
One of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NFL history, Favre has been accused of using personal connections to wrongly help redirect public money dedicated to Mississippi welfare funds toward himself and his alma mater, the University of Southern Mississippi. He spoke specifically on Tuesday about Prevacus, the company he believed to be developing a concussion drug, which received $2 million of the welfare funds, according to ESPN. The company's founder, Jacob VanLandingham, pleaded guilty to wire fraud in July, per ESPN, admitting he misused money to pay off gambling debts.

Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the nervous system that worsens over time, as the Mayo Clinic explains. Tremors, movement difficulties and speech changes are some of the typical symptoms.
