The Tigers' coach will look to return the team to bowl-caliber form next season.
The Columbia Daily Tribune is reporting that University of Missouri Head Football Coach Gary Pinkel will return to the Tiger sidelines in 2013. After an injury-riddled season that robbed the team of a consistent offensive line and quarterback play in Mizzou's 5-7 first season in the Southeastern Conference, Athletic Director Mike Alden told the paper Pinkel would return next fall. The Tigers will not play in a postseason bowl game for the first time since 2004. Pinkel is scheduled to review the 2012 season and look ahead to next season with reporters Tuesday morning, after a flurry of uninformed speculation had rumors flying he would resign Monday. Keeping the current Tiger coaching staff has implications for several St. Louis area Senior …

How Missouri legislators got it wrong: Denying Kansas the opportunity to pay into Missouri's highway maintenance fund.
For some time I have been an avowed socialist when it comes to Missouri license plates. Having been a cop for 30 years, I believe license plates should be kept simple. Their purpose is to identify motor vehicles and show taxes have been paid—not to show your social status. Special license plates for the rich, or friends of the governor, or people who want to advertise their colleges, fraternal groups or branches of the service, just make things confusing for cops and the public who are trying to report suspicious cars. So I think everyone should get the same style license plate. But I’m also apparently in the minority. There are 187 different specialty license plates issued in Missouri. However, the idea behind the specialty license …

Two ten-year-olds from Reed School in Ladue continue their musical talents in the bigger world of competition. Ande Siegel and Menea Kefalov took first place recently in the University of Missouri’s creating original music project this spring. This year’s song, titled “War” is a powerful piece about their perspective on this subject.

A look at how Creve Coeur area prep standouts are being rewarded this holiday season as their college football programs reach postseason bowl games.
College football teams are getting more than just a few weeks of extra practice and a trip out of town when their schools are selected for postseason bowl games. For the players, a trip to Shreveport, Pasadena or New York City also often means a literal shopping spree worth hundreds of dollars. Here's a look at what some players from the St. Louis area are getting, according to Sports Business Daily: University of Missouri/AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl: Gift suite, Timely Watch Co. watch, New Era cap, commemorative football. Watch this YouTube Video to explain what "gift suite" means.

Curators grant authority to explore conference affiliation. Patch wants to know if you're still happy in the Big 12.
The University of Missouri Board of Curators Tuesday night granted MU Chancellor Brady Deaton the authority to investigate leaving the Big 12 Conference, making the school the latest piece of the puzzle up for grabs on the collegiate athletic landscape. The decision, reported by ESPN and other outlets, doesn't mean Mizzou will definitely leave the conference or outline a timeline for a decision, but it does give rise to a new round of speculation. Will they bolt to the Southeastern Conference? Will they once again try and see if the Big Ten Conference is interested? Or will the Tigers decide to stay where they are, which would mean a multi-year commitment of television revenue to the league. You make the call, vote in our poll, and comment…

De Smet junior standout gives verbal pledge to the school which has played in the last two NCAA Basketball Championship games.
Nolan Berry won't graduate from De Smet until the spring of 2013, but the Spartan standout forward knows where he wants to be in the fall of the same year.

University of Missouri's new basketball coach bringing some baggage.
When University of Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden hired Frank Haith, basketball coach at the University of Miami, a great hue and cry arose from many Mizzou fans. Most were hoping for a name hire, one who could lead the Tigers to the Final Four. The dust settled after Alden described Haith as a man having “integrity” and “graduating seniors.” Now comes a story that Haith might have connections to a University of Miami booster, Nevin Shapiro, who gave one of Haith's players $10,000 to attend the school. The buzz spreads far and wide. www.Thequad.blgs.nytimes.com reports that the scandal could have collateral damage at Mizzou unless the investigation can put him in the clear. Gary Parrish at www.cbssports.com said that since Haith …
