MU To Be On Sports Illustrated

So reports Mr. DeArmond.

This is a setup. Someone with a water bottle hurries in, spritzing would-be beads of sweat on the players’ faces.

Welcome to the world of Sports Illustrated, the camera crew in town to record images that will grace the Midwest regional cover of SI’s college football preview issue.

Here now, No. 9, you stand here. Sean, move slightly to your right. Chase, look straight into the camera. OK. Now, profiles everyone.

Welcome to the Brave New World of Missouri football. The Tigers have arrived. Other regional covers will feature Ohio State, Southern Cal, Georgia and Florida.

Oh, and for the record, if Maclin or Daniel gets hurt, I will declare World Wars III and IV on Sports Illustrated.
