My Pick Six opinions on Missouri’s 34-27 victory over Memphis at the dome in St. Louis … 1. Missouri plays entertaining football. Enjoyable football. Now that the offense has been opened up, it’s bubbling like champagne. The Tigers are fun to watch. It’s been a while....
BERNIE BITS Opening Remarks: All Hail St. Louis City SC. Perfect. St. Louis City SC is perfect. I’m not talking about their record (15-10-5) on the pitch. But in the much larger view, I can’t think of a way that their inaugural season could have gone better. The 2023...
THE PICK SIX Here are my six opinions on Mizzou’s 30-23 victory over 15th-ranked Kansas State: 1. Obviously, this was a big win for coach Eli Drinkwitz and his program. “Sometimes it’s not always as fast as everybody wants it to be or I want it to be, but I think this...

Missouri won a football game in the SEC, holding off the reliably beatable Vanderbilt Commodores for a 17-14 victory that impressed no one … except maybe the players’ parents. And I’m not so sure about that. The Tigers were quite gracious, trying to give Vandy what...
Let me state up front that I’m not a moral-victory spin doctor. You win or you lose. And when games are close, and you have the opportunity to win, then you better bag some wins. That especially applies to every college football team that needs oxygen as it tries to...
BERNIE BITS Leading Off … Scott Rolen. One positive from the otherwise incoherent Baseball Hall of Fame voting for 2022: Scott Rolen is closing in on the mandatory minimum of receiving checkmarks on 75% of the ballots. Of course, most of you know that already. I’m not...
