New Mizzou Uniforms: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?

Five University of Missouri athletic teams will wear new Nike uniforms next season in an attempt to appeal to potential recruits.

The University of Missouri football Tigers held the annual "Black and Gold" scrimmage over the weekend at Faurot Field, but the reason why many in the crowd of roughly 18,000 showed up for spring practice had little to do with what was happening between the tackles Saturday.  Of greater interest was the chance to get a look at what the Tigers will WEAR from sideline to sideline starting next fall.

Sharese Jones made history last month when she became the third player in Francis Howell Central girl’s history to score 1,000 points in her basketball career.  Jones scored her 1,000 point Dec. 27 against Notre Dame at the Visitation Basketball Tournament.

The feat was announced at halftime of the game to the crowd that Jones got her 1,000th point.
