Athletes at Mizzou are in a special position. for a window of years while in college, they capture our hearts and imaginations with strength, skill and grace. They inspire Tiger fans to cheer and chant, filling arenas, stadiums and parking lots with echoes of M-1-Z, Z-0-U! Some go on to high-profile professional athletic careers - such as *Unas Kleiza, AFNR 'os, of the N'BA's Denver Nuggets or **Justin Gage, AFNR '03, of the NFL's Tennessee Titans. Many, however, spend a majority of their careers involved in non-athletic endeavors. For five Tigers spread across five decades, their career paths could not be more diverse.
