At spring training, Crux Coffee is the crux of Cardinal Nation. Players, coaches, execs, fans.
They're greeted by Vicky at the register & have no idea the hell she's lived.
She and her husband, Danny, opened Crux. Had a son.
Then, Danny died from cancer.

Good passion and reasoning in this piece by Gabe/@PowerMizzoucom, who declares: “Here's the thing: The SEC can't fine me.”

I usually make my postgame columns available only to subscribers. This one's free cause I think #Mizzou fans deserve to read somebody taking their side against a league that does its teams and supporters a disservice

Congrats @Tim_Parker26! He was such a warrior for the first St. Louis City SC team in 2023. Even had his own beer brewed locally! What a year in our town that was.

What a run, @Tim_Parker26 🫡

Our first Vice Captain. The first-ever #AllForCITY goal. And countless incredible moments wearing the CITY badge. Congrats on your retirement, Tim ❤️

SLU coach Josh Schertz admits that Robbie Avila wouldn’t have played tonight vs. Mizzou even if allowed. But Schertz said before the game he would play Avila, just to put another thing on Mizzou’s plate during preparation.
