    Also not sure how the shit swastika ties into racism that is angering the black students.

    If the Mizzou players actually boycott, that might bring the largest ovation from the fan base so far this season.

    Seriously, this doesn't mean that Wright Thompson will start spinning 8,000-word tales about how this is like 1962 Oxford, will it?

    Apparently a University of Missouri student was called the n-word by local yahoos in the back of a pickup truck. Also someone put swastika graffiti in a men's room in a non-permanent manner. Also rumor has it that other black people have been called the n-word at various times in and around Mizzou.

    So one Mizzou student has vowed to go on a fatal hunger strike and all the black football players have gone on strike until the university president resigns. The president has nothing to do with anything of this: the black students seem to be upset he is a Muggle and could not invoke a spell and get rid of racism in Missouri.

    Shouldn't the Jewish players go on strike?

    Awesome. And as ex points out, if the football team was worth a shit swastika it might provide more leverage.

    Well, if it's going to be BYU against the white Mizzou players, can I find a line on it? I'll take the Cougars and the under.

    If only the men's basketball team would follow suit.

    Great, the next time we have to hire a reporter, I'll be working through 37 different renditions of this story from all the recent Mizzou grads working for free at KOMU.

    The black grad student went on a hunger strike. In a show of solidarity, the black football players went on a monthlong touchdown strike.
