The Governor of Missouri showed up to speak to Dave Steckel's team at Missouri State recently.
While imparting words of wisdom & wishing the Bears the best of luck this season, Governor Jay Nixon took the opportunity to take on one of the great injustices of modern society.

Roll the tape and as Coach Stec likes to say, Bear Up!
