Here are some of our favorites, although there are so many it's really hard to choose.

There is little more brutal in a free society than football practice in August. The Tigers of the University of Missouri were going through that horror show when, on the horizon, appeared two coeds, tan and lithe.

The shapely ladies were running the steps of Faurot Field. Or were they just visions? Pleasant thoughts that dance about the brain right before it shuts down with heat stroke?

It is a bad day for Arkansas Razorback fans. Yesterday, Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino was fired because he "knowingly misled" his bosses and had an affair with a 25 year old female school employee. It sounds like Petrino was suffering from a midlife crisis, and it turned out bad.

Tigers at the BCS

Howard Hart — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:32:38 +0000

A sense of Déjà vu rose on those faithful to the Tigers
