Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz wouldn't blame the officials: "If I say what I want to say, I'm going to get fined until I don't have any retirement." The Missourian reports Texas also won the special-teams battle, and it was only the fourth time the Tigers lost at home in the last four seasons.

Schools

Columbia's school board will consider a $260 million bond issue for the April ballot on Monday

If you care about Columbia's school buildings, Monday matters. The Columbia School Board will consider Monday whether a $260 million bond issue goes on the April ballot. It would help fund the first five years of Columbia Public Schools' 10-year facilities plan.

The $260 million plan would ask voters twice; the $150 million plan, three times

$260 million (recommended)$260 million$110 million in 2033

The Finance Committee unanimously recommended the $260 million option on Nov. 2 over a $150 million one. Chief Financial Officer Heather McArthur said both ask voters for the same amount over the same period, just in different elections. Committee Chair Paul Wagner called the choice "reading the tea leaves."

  • Board vote: Monday, Nov. 9
  • Why bonds: Missouri gives no state formula funding for capital projects
  • Both versions cover the same renovations and updates

The $260 million bond would go from committee to voters over seven years

“He’s had this dog for 10 years and has been his only companion. He called second chance and was told that there is a waiting list right now and has even called the homeless shelters that will allow dogs, but was told they don’t have room. He absolutely does not want to take her to the Humane Society because he fears…”
