The season is still six days away, yet Missouri has already had more than it's fair share of troubles. Since July, Mizzou has had three players kicked off the team for disciplinary issues, a captain get suspended indefinitely, two players and a coach get arrested for DWI, and three other player arrests. And that's in the span of two months!
Here's a timeline of Mizzou's recent rap sheet:
July 2nd: Safety Jarrell Harrison arrested for shoplifting at Columbia mall.
July 19th: Linebacker Tyler Crane dismissed from team for disciplinary issues.
August 2nd: Assistant offensive line coach Bruce Walker arrested for DWI (granted, he was in a parked car in the parking lot apparently waiting for a taxi).
August 3rd: Defensive tackle Dom Hamilton and Harrison are arrested for trespassing after being at an apartment complex pool after hours.
Mid-August: Offensive linemen Taylor Davis and Daniel Jenkins are dismissed from team for disciplinary issues.
August 22nd: Linebacker Will Ebner arrested for DWI.
August 26th: Running back Derrick Washington suspended indefinitely following accusations of sexual assault.
August 28th: Tight end and long-snapper Beau Brinkley arrested for DWI.
That's a lot of trouble in just two months. Some of these things I consider minor (Hamilton and Harrison swimming in a pool after hours), and might be bad luck more than anything (cops have really started cracking down in CoMo recently). But some of these things are serious. If Mizzou really plans on battling for the Big 12 title, they can't afford anymore run-ins with the law. If the players didn't get the wake up call after incident number one on July 2nd, we can only hope that after almost two months and seven more incidents, they've gotten it now.
Ok, all that stuff is depressing. Here's a little gem I saw floating around the internet that's bound to cheer you up. Nothing like a laugh at the expense of K-State's Willie the Wildcat.
