@mitchell4d “First Pitches” is an occasional series written by the sportswriting progeny of the Missouri School of Journalism. This installment is from Pat Forde, Class of 1987, a Senior Writer at Sports Illustrated.
STORY QUOTE: "Our package of stories included a sidebar of sharply critical comments (on the record) from graduated players who had been on the 1-10 team. The most memorable came from former nose guard Steve Leshe: “If Woody was a vacuum cleaner salesman, he would have a closet full of vacuums.”
As Widenhofer let me have it about our stories, I nodded and probably said a few things in response that I no longer recall. I do remember thinking that it would be really bad to throw up on the Missouri football coach’s shoes right at that moment.
