On the 28th, American football coach Larry Smith passed away after a battle with leukemia. Smith coached for many teams, including Tulane and USC. I remember him, however, for his seven season stint as the head coach of the Missouri Tigers. Smith really helped the Tiger team, getting them to their first bowl game in about 15 years. One notable game was in 1997--the Tigers' first winning season in a long while--when they came close to beating #1 Nebraska at home.

M-I-Z!
