Great article in today's St. Louis Post-Dispatch about "Respectable Roughnecks" and the 1960 Mizzou Tigers! #Claim1960!

So… #Mizzou football in 1960. Should the Tigers claim a national title? Why was that team, even through a historical lens, so compelling? St. Louis Post-Dispatch caught up with Respectable Roughnecks author Brendon Steenbergen to talk about his book & a key year in MU history: stltoday.com/sports/college…

You can also find our full conversation here in podcast form (and wherever you get your podcasts)… really interesting stuff on the season and Brendon’s process: stltoday.com/sports/college…

Perfect summer lake reading for CFB fans in general and #Mizzou fans in particular by Brendon Steenbergen. Love the CFB history, but especially entertained by the cameos from JFK and Tina Turner!

Come to the Mizzou Store from 4pm to 6pm to pick up a signed copy of Respectable Roughnecks and maybe get you a Mizzodcast sticker while you’re at it!

While more familiar to Mizzou fans for his role in the infamous 5th down game, Bill McCartney was actually a member of the Tigers during their famous 1960 championship season as outlined in the book “Respectable Roughnecks”. espn.com/college-footba…
