| Publisher Description: Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Missouri Tigers combines the great passion of the Tiger fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ in one set of devotions. The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith. Missouri once used a tactic to win a football game that resulted in a change in the rules. MU's 1964 pitching staff was the greatest in the college baseball history. Dan Devine's first trip to Columbia was such a disaster he wondered if he would live to get home. Brad Smith's former youth coach threatened to come after a college coach with a shotgun. One MU-Kansas basketball game erupted into a violent, bloody brawl. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Gary Pinkel, Norm Stewart, Chase Daniel, Henry Josey, James Franklin, and many others. Their stories along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events are told with a twist: They are all tied to God's story. |
