TK. Kam was good too. Ben and Sean gave some good minutes. Really impressive win when we didn’t play our best.

Dud to whoever is in charge of creating the highlight videos this year. The 2007 USF game that was only broadcast by the in stadium scoreboard was better quality than the videos MU’s social media team has put out.

Can’t have the haircut making clients nervous. Might scare away business. Fire him.

I don't remember the name of the barber or the shop, but when I was at MU I got my haircuts at a place on Wisconsin just west of Mashuda.

As a follically challenged gentleman, I'm no hair expert. But my wife thinks Kolek's haircut is a vast improvement over last year's.

So congrats to Goose's barber.

So if a male does their job well you don’t care if they look different than the traditional image of a male, but if a female does her job well she better not get a haircut that isn’t a traditionally female haircut or that won’t be the only thing cut?

I didn’t need one freshman year because I was letting my hair grow long after 12 years of Catholic grade/high school.  Once I got that out of my system, I seem to remember going to a place up Wisconsin Ave. near Mashuda possibly.
