Writing and talking about Mizzou football has been my labor of love.
I grew up in Kansas City, but I actually did not grow up a Mizzou fan. Truth be told, I was partial to Texas until I was of middle school age. Long story short, my step-dad was a Texas fan, and that was the Vince Young era. I never stood a chance.
Eventually, I started to learn my way. I fell in love with the Tigers’ basketball team first, and eventually Mizzou was ‘my’ school. Nothing has changed in the 20 years since.
Mizzou is where I grew up.
