For those who aren’t used to clever stupid puns, it’s supposed to be a witty wordplay on “morning brew.” In short, Morning Zou will serve as Zoulogy’s morning link dump. Along with the daily Mizzou news, I also will include reads from websites and blogs that focus on the rest of the sports world and pop culture, two of my favorite things. Enjoy!

"5. Missouri – Long an underachieving program, Missouri under Gary Pinkel is now well-respected. Chase Daniel was in the thick of the Heisman race as a junior and a preseason candidate as a senior. His replacement Blaine Gabbert was a first-round pick in the NFL draft. Missouri quarterbacks put up good stats and the Tigers play the kind of schedule that lends itself to a Heisman run, with games against Oklahoma and Texas usually on the docket."

"The biggest thing Haith has going for him, and the reason I’ve been mostly on board from Day One, is simple: it’s been a really long time since athletic director Mike Alden has made a poor hire. Like, 1999. Quin Snyder was the last iffy hire he made, and even that one looked like it was going to work out well for about four years. Alden trusts that Haith didn’t have the support to live up to his potential at Miami, and he trusts that Mizzou will provide him with that support. Until he actually makes another bad hire (which everybody does at some point), I have no reason to doubt him."
