Mizzou football running back Ahmad Hardy was named to the Sporting News All-America First Team this past Wednesday. Hardy was previously named a First Team All-American by the Associated Press, the Walter Camp Football Foundation and American Football Coaches Association, giving him four first-team All-America nods and earning him NCAA consensus All-America recognition. He is the 15th Tiger in program history to earn that designation.

Hardy becomes the third running back in program history to receive first team honors as a Sporting News All-American and the 17th player overall to earn a first-team selection.

The St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets squared off at the Enterprise Center last night. After a scoreless first period, Justin Faulk hit a wrist shot in the second for the only goal of the night for either team. With the 1-0 victory the Blues are now a pair of wins away from evening up their record. They’ll host the New York Rangers tonight starting at 6:30 on KSMO Radio.
