| mizzou basketball history: Tigers Vs. Jayhawks Mark Godich, 2013-09 No one saw it coming. Missouri wasn't ranked in The Associated Press preseason poll in 2007. Kansas didn't even receive a vote. Then the season kicked off. The Tigers and the Jayhawks kept winning. Unimaginable upsets became the norm. And there they were on the Saturday after Thanksgiving - bitter border rivals squaring off at a neutral site with the No. 1 ranking in the country on the line. You could feel the hostility in the air, said Mizzou backup quarterback Chase Patton. Each team took the field at Arrowhead Stadium knowing it was two victories from playing for the national championship. Before a packed house and a national television audience, Missouri and Kansa delivered the most entertaining and tension-filled game of the college football season. They were two traditionally middling programs that had so much to gain-and everything to be. Book jacket. |

| mizzou basketball history: A Lynching in Little Dixie Patricia L. Roberts, 2018-08-24 James T. Scott's 1923 lynching in the college town of Columbia, Missouri, was precipitated by a case of mistaken identity. Falsely accused of rape, the World War I veteran was dragged from jail by a mob and hanged from a bridge before 1000 onlookers. Patricia L. Roberts lived most of her life unaware that her aunt was the girl who erroneously accused Scott, only learning of it from a 2003 account in the University of Missouri's school newspaper. Drawing on archival research, she tells Scott's full story for the first time in the context of the racism of the Jim Crow Midwest. |
| mizzou basketball history: Phog Scott Morrow Johnson, 2019-11-01 Remembered in name but underappreciated in legacy, Forrest “Phog” Allen arguably influenced the game of basketball more than anyone else. In the first half of the twentieth century, Allen took basketball from a gentlemanly, indoor recreational pastime to the competitive game that would become a worldwide sport. Succeeding James Naismith as the University of Kansas’s basketball coach in 1907, Allen led the Jayhawks for thirty-nine seasons and holds the record for most wins at that school, with 590. He also helped create the NCAA tournament and brought basketball to the Olympics. Allen changed the way the game is played, coached, marketed, and presented. Scott Morrow Johnson reveals Allen as a master recruiter, a transformative coach, and a visionary basketball mind. Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Wilt Chamberlain, and many others benefited from Allen’s knowledge of and passion for the game. But Johnson also delves into Allen’s occasionally tumultuous relationships with Naismith, the NCAA, and University of Kansas administrators. Phog: The Most Influential Man in Basketball chronicles this complex man’s life, telling for the first time the full story of the man whose name is synonymous with Kansas basketball and with the game itself. |
| mizzou basketball history: The Eye In Team Morgan Eye, 2019-05-13 Morgan Eye grew up in tiny Montrose, Missouri, a town of less than 400 people with a graduating class of 12. But that never stopped her from dreaming big. She wanted to be the best basketball player she could be. She wanted to win a state championship and then go on to play big-time college basketball. It seemed like something impossible for a girl from such an out-of-the way place that didn't even have its own stoplight.But Morgan never took no for an answer. With hard work and dedication - and a lot of help along the way - she lived out her dreams, and set all sorts of records along the way. This is Morgan's story, the highs and the lows, and all the challenges that face a young woman reaching out to accomplish her goals, both on and off the basketball court. |
| mizzou basketball history: Cheated Jay M. Smith, Mary Willingham, 2015-03-15 In 2010 allegations of an utterly corrupt academic system for student-athletes emerged from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus, home of the legendary Tar Heels. As the alma mater of Michael Jordan, Larry Brown, Marion Jones, Lawrence Taylor, Rashad McCants, and many others; winner of forty national championships in six different sports; and a partner in one of the best rivalries in sports, UNC-Chapel Hill is a world-famous colossus of college athletics. In the wake of the Wainstein report, however, the fallout from this scandal--and the continuing spotlight on the failings of college athletics--has made the school ground zero in the debate about how the $16 billion college sports industry operates. Written by UNC professor of history Jay Smith and UNC athletics department whistleblower Mary Willingham, Cheated exposes the fraudulent inner workings of this famous university. For decades these internal systems have allowed woefully underprepared basketball and football players to take fake courses and earn devalued degrees from one of the nation's top universities while faculty and administrators looked the other way. In unbiased and carefully sourced detail, Cheated recounts the academic fraud in UNC's athletics department, even as university leaders focused on minimizing the damage in order to keep the billion-dollar college sports revenue machine functioning. Smith and Willingham make an impassioned argument that the student-athletes in these programs are being cheated out of what, after all, is promised them in the first place: a college education. |
| mizzou basketball history: The 100-Yard Journey Gary Pinkel, Dave Matter, 2017 Very few college football coaches earn the distinction of becoming their programs' winningest, but Gary Pinkel has done it twice. From his nine-year tenure at the University of Toledo to his career at the University of Missouri from 2001 to 2015, Pinkel has shown he has the talent and meddle to take his teams to the top. These remarkable achievements have been met by challenges along the way in Pinkel's personal and professional life, including a DUI and a divorce, a threatened team boycott at Mizzou which dominated national news headlines, and ultimately, a decision to step away from it all following a diagnosis of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. In The 100-Yard Journey, Pinkel offers a glimpse into the mind of a winner as well as an honest reflection on meeting and overcoming the unexpected. Follow along from the start of Pinkel's coaching career at Kent State, the same program for which he played as a tight end, through stops at Washington and Toledo, and finally, taking over at the helm of Missouri, a program he guided to 10 bowl games in 15 years, a No. 1 AP ranking at the end of the 2007 season, and SEC Coach of the Year honors in 2014. Whether you're a Tigers fan or just interested in what makes a successful head coach tick, anyone can find something to relate to in Pinkel's personal memoirs. |

| mizzou basketball history: Crunch! Dirk Burhans, 2008-11-05 The potato chip has been one of America's favorite snacks since its accidental origin in a nineteenth-century kitchen. Crunch! A History of the Great American Potato Chip tells the story of this crispy, salty treat, from the early sales of locally made chips at corner groceries, county fairs, and cafes to the mass marketing and corporate consolidation of the modern snack food industry. Crunch! also uncovers a dark side of potato chip history, including a federal investigation of the snack food industry in the 1990s following widespread allegations of antitrust activity, illegal buyouts, and predatory pricing. In the wake of these Great Potato Chip Wars, corporate snack divisions closed and dozens of family-owned companies went bankrupt. Yet, despite consolidation, many small chippers persist into the twenty-first century, as mom-and-pop companies and upstart boutique businesses serve both new consumers and markets with strong regional loyalties. Illustrated with images of early snack food paraphernalia and clever packaging from the glory days of American advertising art, Crunch! is an informative tour of large and small business in America and the vicissitudes of popular tastes. |

| mizzou basketball history: This Place of Promise Gary R. Kremer, 2021-12-10 Conceived of as a way to commemorate Missouri’s bicentennial of statehood, this unique work presents the perspective of Gary Kremer, one of the Show-Me State’s foremost historians, as he ponders why history played out as it did over the course of the two centuries since Missouri’s admittance to the Union. In the writing of what is much more than a survey history, Kremer, himself a fifth-generation Missourian, infuses the narrative with his vast knowledge and personal experiences, even as he considers what being a Missourian has meant—across the many years and to this day—to all of the state’s people, and how the forces of history—time, place, race, gender, religion, and class—shaped people and determined their opportunities and choices, in turn creating collective experiences that draw upon the past in an attempt to make sense of the present and plan for the future. Key elements of the book include the centrality of race to the Missouri experience—from the time Missourians began to seek statehood in 1817 all the way up to the Black Lives Matter movement of the 21st century—as well as ongoing tensions created by the urban-rural divide and struggle to define the proper role of government in society. |

| mizzou basketball history: Tales from the Missouri Tigers Alan Goforth, 2015-01-06 College sports fans around the nation know it as the University of Missouri, the home of the Tigers. But for the legions of fans from St. Louis to Columbia, it’s simply Mizzou, and there is no better place to be on a crisp fall afternoon than Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. Don Faurot himself, as a graduate student, helped lay the football sod in 1926, and the playing surface was named after the legendary coach in 1972. It’s where Norris Stevenson broke the color barrier in the 1950s, where Dan Devine built a national powerhouse in the 1960s, and where Al Onofrio pulled some unlikely upsets in the 1970s. Phil Bradley, Kellen Winslow, and Eric Wright—household names in college and in the pros—continued to build on that foundation in the early 1980s. Hard-working players such as Corby Jones and Brock Olivo gave the football program a new spark in the 1990s. The Tigers had little tradition in basketball until Norm Stewart returned to coach his alma mater in 1967. Big men Al Eberhard and John Brown first put the program on the map in the early 1970s; then Willie Smith electrified crowds at the Hearnes Center with his prolific scoring. Highly regarded recruits Steve Stipanovich and Jon Sundvold were the pillars of a team that won four straight Big Eight championships. Players such as Doug Smith, Anthony Peeler, and Derrick Chievous took the Tigers to the top of the national rankings while rewriting the school record books. From the football field to the basketball court and beyond, Tales from the Missouri Tigers is perfect for the avid Mizzou fan!

| mizzou basketball history: A Missouri Railroad Pioneer Joel P. Rhodes, 2017-08-15 Lawyer and journalist, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Louis Houck is often called the “Father of Southeast Missouri” because he brought the railroad to the region and opened this backwater area to industrialization and modernization. Although Houck’s name is little known today outside Missouri, Joel Rhodes shows how his story has relevance for both the state and the nation. Rhodes presents a more complete picture of Houck than has ever been available: reviewing his life from his German immigrant roots, considering his career from both social and political perspectives, and grounding the story in both state and national history. He especially tells how, from 1880 to the 1920s, this self-taught railroader constructed a network of five hundred miles of track through the wilderness of wetlands known as “Swampeast Missouri”—and how these “Houck Roads” provided a boost for population, agriculture, lumbering, and commerce that transformed Cape Girardeau and the surrounding area. Rhodes discusses how Houck fits into the era of economic individualism—a time when men with little formal training shaped modern industry—and also gives voice to Houck’s critics and shows that he was not always an easy man to work with. In telling the story of his railroading enterprise, Rhodes chronicles Houck’s battle with the Jay Gould railroad empire and offers key insight into the development of America’s railway system, from the cutthroat practices of ruthless entrepreneurs to the often-comic ineptness of start-up rail lines. More than simply a biography of a business entrepreneur, the book tells how Houck not only developed the region economically but also followed the lead of Andrew Carnegie by making art, culture, and formal education available to all social classes. Houck also served for thirty-six years as president of the Board of Regents of Southeast Missouri State Teacher’s College, and as a self-taught historian he wrote the first comprehensive accounts of Missouri’s territorial period. A Missouri Railroad Pioneer chronicles a multifaceted career that transformed a region. Solidly researched, this lively narrative also offers an entertaining read for anyone interested in Missouri history. |

| mizzou basketball history: Columbia College Paulina Ann Batterson, 2001 Columbia College, formerly known as Christian College, was founded in 1851 in the small frontier town of Columbia, Missouri. Touted as the first women's college west of the Mississippi River, Columbia College emerged as virtually a sister college to the University of Missouri, sharing leadership, faculty, and curriculum. Covering each of the school's presidential administrations, Columbia College examines all aspects of the college--academic, administrative, financial, athletic, and student life. Particular emphasis is placed on the role various individuals played over the years. Although created through the zealous efforts of progressive leaders of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the college was bound by its charter to be nondenominational--an issue that sometimes led to passionate sectarian quarrels within the fledgling institution. Despite pre-Civil War political differences, denominational rivalries, and personality clashes, the college struggled to survive. Through 150 years of continuity and change, Columbia College has tenaciously upheld its liberal-arts tradition as a teaching-centered institution, seeking innovative ways to broaden educational horizons and meet the needs of new generations. From the sheltered environment of Christian Female College, Columbia College has evolved into a modern coeducational institution with twenty-four military and civilian extended campuses across the United States and in Puerto Rico and a thriving evening campus that specializes in adult education. Columbia College will be of great interest to Columbia College alumni, as well as to anyone with an interest in liberal arts and adult education. Those wishing to preserve the endangered tradition of the small private college will find the Columbia College experience not only an inspiration, but also a lesson in creativity, loyalty, and dedication. |

| mizzou basketball history: The College World Series W. C. Madden, Patrick J. Stewart, 2004-01-01 In 1947, the University of California and Yale University baseball teams took the field in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to play the first-1ever NCAA Division I College World Series.

| mizzou basketball history: The Hermann Double Team Steve Wieschhaus, 2013-01 Basketball was the talk of the town in Hermann, Mo., in March 1969 when its two high school teams qualified for the final four state tournament in Columbia. The Hermann High Bearcats (Class M, medium-sized school) and the St. George Dragons (Class S, small school) put the town of 2,500 into the spotlight for basketball fans. More than 40 years after moving from the community, author Steve Wieschhaus tells the story of that dream season for the two schools, neither of which had ever played for a state basketball title. The success of these teams - one would win the championship and the other would lose in the semifinals before claiming a state championship the following year - led to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper calling Hermann the Basketball Capital of Missouri. Two extraordinary coaches led the teams: Don Gosen at Hermann High and Dennis Kruse at St. George High, both back at their alma maters guiding young players just as they had been guided. This must-read for basketball fans at any level includes play-by-play description of the games that made history. This is a great story of small town Missouri basketball, the people involved and the importance it played in their lives. - Norm Stewart, former University of Missouri Men's Basketball Coach A great small town hoops story. True basketball fans will appreciate the research that went into writing this book. - John Brown, former Dixon High, University of Missouri, and NBA player Author Steve Wieschhaus has been a basketball fan most of his life. He witnessed this dream season firsthand while a freshman at St. George High School during the 1968-69 season before moving to Centralia, Mo. He attended Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La., on a basketball scholarship, earning an education degree. Wieschhaus was assistant coach (and then head coach) for the women's basketball team at Nicholls State before teaching and coaching in Welsh and Westlake, La. He served as a high school assistant principal and principal before becoming director of Warehouse Services with the Calcasieu Parish School System in Lake Charles, La.

Zirins sharp and insightful commentary on the personalities, politics, and history of American sports is unlike any sports writing being done today.

Whats My Name, Fool? draws on original interviews with former heavyweight champ George Foreman, Olympic athlete John Carlos, NBA player and anti-death penalty activist Etan Thomas, antiwar womens college hoopster Toni Smith, Olympic Project for Human Rights leader Lee Evans and many others.

| mizzou basketball history: Fightin' Gators Kevin M. McCarthy, 2000-04-28 Experience the University of Florida football program's fascinating 20th century journey, one that has brought enjoyment to millions and national recognition to the school. The University of Florida, the state's oldest and largest university, is recognized today as one of the country's most academically diverse public institutions. Though able to trace its history to 1853, the school did not begin its popular football program until the first few years of the 20th century. The program has had its share of scandals and embarrassments over time, but it has also produced two Heisman Trophy winners, a national champion, numerous players drafted into the professional ranks, and a visibility that consistently ranks the team in the top five in the country. Now attracting 85,000 fans to each of its home games, the Gators' football program has become a vital part of the University of Florida. When the team won the national championship in 1996, no one could have predicted such success just 90 years earlier. Fortunately, that journey through the last century has been captured in great photographs that include formal portraits of teams, action shots on the field, views of the stadium simply referred to as The Swamp by fans, and snapshots from every decade. These images tell the story of the birth and growth of a football team. |
| mizzou basketball history: One Long Night Andrea Pitzer, 2018-11-13 Masterly -- The New Yorker A Smithsonian Magazine Best History Book of the Year A groundbreaking, haunting, and profoundly moving history of modernity's greatest tragedy: concentration camps For over 100 years, at least one concentration camp has existed somewhere on Earth. First used as battlefield strategy, camps have evolved with each passing decade, in the scope of their effects and the savage practicality with which governments have employed them. Even in the twenty-first century, as we continue to reckon with the magnitude and horror of the Holocaust, history tells us we have broken our own solemn promise of never again. In this harrowing work based on archival records and interviews during travel to four continents, Andrea Pitzer reveals for the first time the chronological and geopolitical history of concentration camps. Beginning with 1890s Cuba, she pinpoints concentration camps around the world and across decades. From the Philippines and Southern Africa in the early twentieth century to the Soviet Gulag and detention camps in China and North Korea during the Cold War, camp systems have been used as tools for civilian relocation and political repression. Often justified as a measure to protect a nation, or even the interned groups themselves, camps have instead served as brutal and dehumanizing sites that have claimed the lives of millions. Drawing from exclusive testimony, landmark historical scholarship, and stunning research, Andrea Pitzer unearths the roots of this appalling phenomenon, exploring and exposing the staggering toll of the camps: our greatest atrocities, the extraordinary survivors, and even the intimate, quiet moments that have also been part of camp life during the past century. |

From events that changed the world, like Missouri’s only president making the decision to drop the atomic bombs to end World War II, to the Streetcar Series, where both St. Louis professional baseball teams had home-field advantage. From the massive impact of the Spanish Flu in 1918 to Missouri’s first reported case of COVID-19 in 2020. Each day of the calendar is full of stories that will amaze you and keep you turning the page to see what happened next. There will be stories you remember, some you’ve forgotten, and others you never knew happened in Missouri. Author and local news anchor John W. Brown puts all the newsworthy events of Missouri’s history at your fingertips in this must-have compilation of the who’s who and the what’s what of the Show-Me State. If you’re a Missouri history buff, Missouri 365 is a book you’ll want in your collection. |
| mizzou basketball history: 11 In '11 Benjamin Hochman, 2021-04-27 Of the 11 World Series titles the St. Louis Cardinals have won in their formidable history, 2011's victory stands out as something different, something magical. It was the work of a team that seemingly had no business even playing in October yet one that stared down defeat over and over again, refusing to back down until the trophy was theirs. 11 in '11 is a thoroughly reported chronicle of an unparalleled season, packed with interviews with key players, team executives, broadcasters, and more. St. Louis Post Dispatch columnist Benjamin Hochman offers on-the-ground and behind-the-scenes perspective as he brings to life a cast of characters including Albert Pujols in his final year as a Card, team ace Chris Carpenter, Yadier Molina showing his might both behind and at the plate, and of course the unlikely hero David Freese. Go inside the front office to see how this roster was constructed; relive the blistering final stretch of the regular season which saw the team winning 20 of its last 28 games; experience the palpable energy of Busch Stadium during Game 6, where Hochman watched enthralled as a fan. This is the definitive account of a championship run no Cardinals fan will ever forget. |
