It can be rough being a Missouri fan, and no one knows this better than Dave Matter.
Matter isn’t a Missouri fan, but he’s covered the Tigers for as long as anyone currently on the beat. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch beat writer co-wrote “Pinkel” — Gary Pinkel’s autobiography — last year. Now, on Sep. 4, Matter’s latest Missouri historical effort hits the shelves: 100 Things Missouri Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die.
And, as Missouri fans know, there are some difficult chapters to re-live.
“The long-time Missouri fans, they have this scar tissue built up because of these things that seem to happen,” Matter told Rock M Nation.
