"Sidelines" features a collection of Mizzou related news and notes...
-- I've been somewhat out of the loop so this edition of Sidelines will be very link heavy to articles you might not have come across and likely several you already have.
-- STL P-D's Graham Watson churned out stories all through camp, including stories on Martin Rucker and Chase Patton. Watson's blog also notes the close of two-a-days and an updated depth chart.
-- Dave Matter brought several interesting stories to light, including how Mizzou stumbled across Danario Alexander, the struggles of the young defensive backs and the inclusion of tailbacks into the passing attack. And, not to mention, Matter's blog had wall-to-wall coverage of all practices.
-- And of course, there's always the athletic department's view on the FootBlog

Sidelines - July 31
"Sidelines" features a collection of Mizzou related news and notes...
-- It's not exactly breaking news at this point, but Tiger great Brad Smith has been moved back to quarterback by the New York Jets. Smith always expressed a fondness and desire for staying at QB, but made the transition to WR last year to further his NFL hopes. ETS and Tiger fans send their best to Brad, an outstanding athlete and an even better ambassador for the University of Missouri.
-- Mizzou will hold its fifth annual Fan Day on Aug. 5, giving fans a chance to meet players and coaches, collect autographs and walk around the Faurot Field surface. For those over the age of 12, a chance to mingle with the Golden Girls and cheerleaders is certainly an added bonus, as is the debut of new 2007 merchandise (Dri-Fit polo, anyone?).
-- Wendell Barnhouse, writer for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and an ETS-favorite as far as Big 12 coverage is concerned, has Mizzou ranked No. 24 entering the season. Barnhouse touches on all the Mizzou talking points: electric offense, questionable defense, Chase Daniel's "it" factor, and Pinkel loosening up.
In addition, Barnhouse rubs salt in this black and gold wound: "3-10: Combined record for Missouri in the final month of the past three seasons."
-- While not football related, ETS sends a hearty congrats to Mizzou baseball coach Tim Jamieson, who was named Midwest Region Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches' Association. Jamieson has been building a growing power out at Taylor Stadium, including hosting an NCAA regional this past spring.
