A Good Game is Hard to Find (Mizzou vs. Mo State, 4/17/18)

Posted by olabner on April 17, 2019April 17, 2019 in Missouri State, Missouri Tigers, Photos

I tried to keep up on college ball a bit while living in the Arctic, but I didn’t catch much of it. (You can find northern lights and sled dogs on my Instagram.) But now I am in the land…

Coaches

Posted by olabner on September 3, 2018October 9, 2018 in College, Missouri State, Photos

I wonder if these coaches like where they are, or if they just want to step a little bit higher, have a little more responsibility, and attract a little bigger crowd. Maybe it’s everything. A former colleague tripled his pay…

Bears in the Wild

Posted by olabner on May 5, 2018May 5, 2018 in College, Missouri State, Photos

Just a few more games left with these Bears, then I’m off to Alaska to hang out with a different sort of bear for the summer. I’ll be rooting MSU on to Omaha from Gates of the Arctic National Park,…

Aaron Meyer, a senior

Posted by olabner on April 25, 2017April 5, 2020 in College, Grief, Missouri State

He cracks the ball and races down the basepath, lunging to avoid the Missouri pitcher’s tag. And he falls to the ground. I don’t know him, Aaron Meyer, but I can imagine that as a child he wrapped rubber bands around his…
