Thursday was my Super Bowl, you guys. I got up that morning and had a noticeable pep in my step. And no, it wasn’t from my Starbucks caramel brûlée latte (though the return of the holiday drinks menu certainly brought me significant joy). It’s because I knew MIZZOU HOOPS was back in action. Exhibition-shmexibishun. Basketball is basketball— just ask Matt Watkins, who drove all the way from StL to check it out, and I feel like I’ve been waiting years to see my beloved team play ball again. I missed the open practice (stupid HoCo Uber surge pricing), so this was my first chance to see all the glorious newbies.
