FindLaw's Tarnished Twenty...
University of Missouri
Missouri is simply going to pot. In doing so, they win the Sergei Bubka Memorial Award for the largest pole vault into the Top 5. Climbing all year like the smoke from a freshly packed reefer, Mizzou is dazed, confused, and, for lack of a better word, High atop the Tarnished Twenty 2000 Final Rankings.
Yes, while the team's image may be stoned to death, Missouri finds itself in the Top 5 due to some of its athlete's propensity for herbal solutions to problems. Yes, it seems as though the Tigers can't seem to find their way out of a number of sticky green situations! One would normally dismiss as a simple mistake last fall's late-season arrest of standout wide receiver Travis Garvin on simple marijuana charges. However, then you unearth the stories of Brandon Ford and John McPherson.
Junior Tight End Brandon Ford was arrested November 27th after authorities found 50 pounds of marijuana at his home - he has been released pending further investigations. And then there was football player John McPherson, who was arrested on July 27 by the Missouri Highway Patrol, for following too closely and not driving within a single lane. However, Corporal B.S. Hagerty unearthed much more than a simple moving violation. Upon searching McPherson's trunk, Hagerty discovered about 100 pounds of processed marijuana within a cardboard shoebox and two plastic garbage bags.
I'm sorry, but didn't Missouri's coach give a "Just Say No" talk after the McPherson debacle? In the meantime, congrats to Mizzou on making the leap of faith from nowhere to the land of serious tarnish. For that kind of performance FindLaw welcomes these dope(s) to the Tarnished Twenty's finest!
