Mizzou fans don’t get cautiously optimistic; they get minimally pessimistic.
The nation’s No. 1 basketball player said he’s considering playing for the Tigers?
Here’s the fans’ fear: They’ll enter their home one night, turn on the light, and there’s Tyus Edney, Nebraska receiver Matt Davison, the 2012 Norfolk State basketball team and a guy holding a fifth-down marker, all simultaneously screaming: “Gotcha!”
Things like Michael Porter Jr. don’t happen to Mizzou often. Things like this happen to (dare I say) Kansas. But on Wednesday, the mythical figure spoke, and no, he didn’t announce he’s coming to Mizzou — but darn if it he didn’t sound like he’s serious about doing so.
