Driving home this late afternoon, I heard the news on my local public radio station: Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder has resigned. Said the announcer: this comes after six straight losses, the last to Big 12 bottom feeder Baylor.
Say that last noun phrase aloud a few times.
It's true, that's my alma mater they're describing. But when have I let team loyalty get in the way of a little literary appreciation? And, anyway, I kinda like the image. Not Bears. Bottom Feeders.
The *BAYLOR* Bottomfeeders. Sic 'em.

Some impressive alliteration, that. And so appropriate (at this moment in time) that the Vice President should be interrupted for a hospital report...
