The Importance Of Being A Mizzou Tiger
It would not be much of a stretch to say that being a Mizzou Tiger runs in my blood. I grew up getting plenty of exposure to Mizzou from my grandmother, a diehard Tigers fan that attends almost every home basketball game, my mother, who is herself a Mizzou alumnus, as well as my older cousins who both graduated from Mizzou, giving the University a constant presence in my life. Then, as I reached high school I received additional exposure to the University as a result of it hosting the state tournaments for Speech and Debate, Science Olympiad, and basketball throughout my four years, however I truly fell in love with Mizzou when I came to visit for a Scholar’s Day event the summer before my senior year.

    The Shame Of College Sports Summary

    In the essay “The Shame of College Sports” Taylor Branch explains a large amount of corruption inside college sports and makes a case that colleges do not properly represent their student athletes and they should be paid.(Branch 227) One of the statements from UNC trustee Dan Curtis states “I think we should pay these guys something” sets up Branch to one of his first major statements in which he says “Fans and educators alike recoil from this proposal as though from original sin. Amateurism is the whole point, they say. Paid athletes would destroy the integrity and appeal of college sports.” (227) In this move he confronts what the vast majority of people believe and later goes on to further his view of the topic with an analogy of college…

    Descriptive Essay: Mike The Tiger

    Enthusiast constantly swarm the red-bricked side walk that encloses the names of people who donate to Mike’s habitat. The basketball stadium emits loud soulful music and conversations of fans as they gaze into the enclosure surrounds the once nice and peaceful place. The amount of people slowly increases dramatically as more supports arrive at LSU. Adults’ and children’s excited looks steadily turn to disappointment as they realize that the enclosure is empty. The public’s hope of seeing Mike is not diminished as a fan's talk about coming back later. Some visitors decided to stay and wait for the reappearance of Mike. However, the stadium gates opened before Mikes returned. The crowd slowly decreasing as fans walk their way into the stadium for the game. Sadly, to everyone’s disappointment, Mike was a no-show. Walton stated, “You can see the people around you face light up as he makes his route around the stadium. Without him there it feels like a vital part of LSU football is missing.” Mr. Walton is correct, as I sit in Death Valley, I feel as if there is a missing component in the stadium. The atmosphere was not as hyped as it usually is, especially in the student section. I inquired to know how the students feel and react to Mike when he attends the football games. Rodick states that we are more revved up and from a student’s perspective, it’s more sentimental and exciting, especially for her as someone who comes from out of…

    College Mascots

    In Ryan Fulda’s article, "Is the NCAA Prohibition of Native American Mascots From Championship Play a Violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act?", he introduces the controversy over having Native American mascots and symbols used by teams in college sports, and whether or not prohibiting the use of them violates the antitrust laws. In the rest of Fulda 's article, he successfully breaks down how prohibiting the use of Native American influences could be considered as a violation and how it could also be considered acceptable to prohibit the use of it. Fulda does this by using the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) history and different cases to justify both sides, as well as ending with his opinion as to why the Sherman act is not violated in a professional and unbiased way.…

    Club Rush Research Paper

    Once you go to a basketball game, you will most defiantly have school pride. It’s one thing to go out and support your team just because it’s just that, you're team. It’s completely different when your school basketball team is really good, it is very exciting to watch the games, to say the least. A basketball game was the first Polk State function I had attended. Even though I knew not a single person in the stands I kept finding myself on my feet cheering on the team and booing the referees for bogus calls, I had school pride. I sat down in silence for a moment because I figured everyone in the stands was just starring at me and that the game had come to a screeching halt, the players and all. But I look around me and I am surrounded by cheering students, parents and teachers. Thats when I truly realized how much school pride there is a Polk State.…

    Personal Narrative On College Football

    Gazing across the lush field I lay my eyes on an enthusiastic crowd. Emotional chants rise from their voices but are immediately silenced from my hearing as the referee whistles the ball into play. I bend down to get into my stance, one hand down with my middle fingers balancing me into a running back stance. I feel the sweat dripping down my face and into my eyes causing a sizzling pain that brings my head back into the game. I knew it was only a matter of time, despite that it was only halfway through the third quarter. I had to make the most of the time I had left.…
