We have stories slated for each of the next couple mornings as we'll continue catching up with the recent commitments in our film room features. If there is news (and, yes, I've seen kids commit on Christmas before) we'll cover it. However, I'm hopeful for myself and for all of you that things are slow for the next 48 hours and we all get a chance to spend some time with our families and friends and enjoy a good holiday (whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah or any other holiday you may celebrate this time of year).
It has not been an easy year to be a Mizzou fan. If you are still on this site and find it worth a bit of your disposable income to be here, we thank you for sticking with us through a particularly lean time. We hope--for your sake and ours--that 2017 is better. I want to say it can't get a lot worse, but I do not want to tempt fate by saying that. So let's just say it will be good for the calendar to turn in our little corner of the Internet.
I've been here for more than 13 years now and, while this is a job and there are days it is a chore, I still have to stop and remind myself sometimes that there are enough people that care about the relatively meaningless things we write about every day that I get paid to be my own boss and write about games. For that, I certainly thank each and every one of you for allowing that to be possible. Because the alternative is finding a real job and that's not really something I'd particularly enjoy.
A week from tomorrow, we will be back up to a five-person staff with Brian Austin, Paul Maharry and Sean Williams joining myself and Alex Schiffer. This fall has been a transition period for the site, but hopefully we have done well enough that you guys did not see a drop in the quality of the site or the coverage. If you did, thanks for sticking with us through that transition and I have great confidence that 2017 and our new additions will bring the site to new levels in covering Mizzou athletics.
Thanks for reading, I hope you all enjoy your holiday and have a chance to spend it with your loved ones. I'm thankful to have my oldest back in the house for a couple weeks, a Boulevard sampler and prime rib in the refrigerator and the Chiefs playing a meaningful game on Christmas night.
As a token of our appreciation here at PowerMizzou, the first ten responses here will get a free month on the site. Merry Christmas and wishes of better times ahead for you all.
