Eye of the Tiger, Week 3: Georgia Avoids Disaster, Tennessee Jumps Missouri
After a narrow 27-21 victory over now unranked Boston College, the Missouri Tigers stayed pretty close to steady in the polls. Most teams in the AP Top 25 stayed about where they were the week prior as well.
Not much was learned about the other teams in the top-25, but two SEC teams showed some clear weaknesses in two bad losses. The now No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs also struggled to hold off the Kentucky Wildcats on the road.
Even with a home win against the Eagles, the Tigers dropped a spot to No. 7 overall, with the Tennessee Volunteers moving into Missouri’s spot from last week.
The Eye of the Tiger Series breaks down the rest of the college football schedule week to week to analyze how certain outcomes could affect Missouri.
Vanderbilt: 36-32 loss to Georgia State
No. 25 Texas A&M: 33-20 win over Florida
UMass: 34-3 loss to Buffalo
Auburn: 45-19 win over New Mexico
No. 4 Alabama: 42-10 win over Wisconsin
No. 15 Oklahoma: 34-19 win over Tulane
South Carolina: 36-33 loss to No. 16 LSU
Mississippi State: 41-17 loss to Toledo
Arkansas: 37-27 loss to UAB
It was another not-great week for the SEC. The top of the conference didn’t skip a beat, minus Georgia. Oklahoma and Alabama looked better than last week and LSU came from behind to take down South Carolina. Two teams towards the bottom of the confence, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, fell victim to upsets that could derail a season. The Bulldogs lost by more than 20 points to Toledo and Vanderbilt lost by one score to Georgia State. Both of those teams appear on Missouri’s schedule, as the Tigers host Vanderbilt in week four.
Alabama looked like Alabama, with quarterback Jalen Milroe starting to establish a connection with receivers Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard. The two receivers combined for 133 yards on only seven receptions. Milroe also looked to be his usual self on the ground, posting 75 rushing yards and two-ground touchdowns. When the Tigers take their trip to Tuscaloosa, they should absolutely expect their most daunting task of the season. Even with a new head coach in Kalen DeBoer, the Crimson Tide still have a high-powered offense with weapons at every position, with plenty of defensive talent that can pressure a quarterback and stop the run.
After struggling the week prior, the Sooners also looked to get back on track. Linebacker Danny Stutsman led their defensive unit with 12 tackles, shutting down the Green Wave offense. Quarterback Jackson Arnold still has yet to get into a pure rhythm throwing the ball, which might be something to monitor. He did throw 169 yards and a touchdown, but his interception dragged that performance down a little. Arnold, however, excelled in the running game, recording 97 rushing yards and two touchdowns to tag along.
Georgia walked out of Lexington with a 13-12 win on the night of September 14, but it sure wasn’t pretty. Kentucky was just disruptive enough on defense to give quarterback Caron Beck and company fits. Their quarterback, Brock Vandagriff, didn’t have his best performance either. Former Missouri receiver Dominic Lovett led all receivers with six receptions for 89 yards, but the only touchdown of the game came on a three-yard run up the gut from running back Branson Robinson. A Bulldog loss would have flipped the SEC on it’s head, opening the conference up for teams like Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Missouri.
No. 5 Ole Miss: 40-6 win over Wake Forest
No. 7 Tennessee: 71-0 win over Kent State
No. 9 Oregon: 49-14 win over Oregon State
No. 10 Miami: 62-0 win over Ball State
No teams surrounding the Tigers looked bad in their week three matchups and majority of their games resulted in a blowout. Ole Miss and Tennessee, the Tigers SEC companions who they won’t face, are more than certainly going to make a run at the playoffs. Both have explosive offensive attacks with talented quarterbacks to lead them. Jaxson Dart and Nico Iamaleava haven’t shown any signs of slowing down, either.
In an unrelated manner, the Arizona Wildcats were the only other team to lose, outside of Boston College, in the top-25. The Wildcats looked lost against Kansas State, who improved to 3-0 and moved up to No. 13 in the country thanks to the quarterback play of Avery Johnson. His dynamic ability on the ground is a spark for the Kansas State offense. Johnson’s athletic ability is one that not many quarterbacks in the country have and will help them get a leg up on opponents, especially in the Big 12.

Summary:
- Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments on constitutionality of airport property tax valuation statute.
- Case involves valuation of Marriott hotel at Kansas City International Airport.
- Platte County assessor argues statute creates special tax advantage for airport properties.
- Missouri State Tax Commission reduced hotel’s valuation from $13.45 million to about $6.14 million.
The Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments Feb. 10 in a case challenging how a hotel at Kansas City International Airport was valued for property tax purposes and whether a state statute allowing deductions for airport property improvements is constitutional.
The dispute centers on the valuation of the Marriott Hotel located at Kansas City International Airport and whether a provision in Section 137.115.1 of state law improperly reduces the taxable value of certain airport properties.
At issue is a challenge by the Platte County assessor and the Park Hill School District to a decision by the Missouri State Tax Commission that resulted in a lower valuation for the 2016 tax year.
The assessor was represented during arguments by Stephen E. Magers, an attorney for Platte County in Platte City; Grady Hotel Investments was represented by Peter A. Corsale of McCarthy, Leonard & Kaemmerer in Town & Country.
Magers argued the statute effectively creates a special class of property that receives favorable tax treatment.
“This case concerns a truly novel item of the Missouri statutes,” he said. “It stands alone as the only statute within the entirety of the Missouri framework that gives a certain set of taxpayers a tax advantage of having real property located within an airport receive a deduction for new construction and improvements.”
The property at issue is a Marriott hotel located on land owned by Kansas City within the boundaries of Kansas City International Airport. The city leases the land to a private operator.
In 2015, Grady Hotel Investments purchased the prior operator’s interest in the property for about $8.5 million. As part of the transaction, Grady entered into an amended lease and concession agreement with the city and committed to making capital improvements to repair and renovate the property.
For the 2016 tax year, the Platte County assessor valued Grady’s interest in the hotel at approximately $13.45 million. After the county board of equalization upheld that valuation, Grady appealed to the Missouri State Tax Commission.
The commission initially set the hotel’s assessed value at zero using the “bonus value” methodology for leasehold interests, but the Missouri Court of Appeals Western District later reversed that ruling and remanded the case. On remand, the commission ultimately determined the hotel’s “true value in money” was about $6.14 million. The commission reached that figure after deducting the value of personal property included in the purchase and approximately $1.2 million in costs paid toward new construction and improvements made after 2008, as permitted under Section 137.115.1.
Magers argued that the statute operates as an unconstitutional tax break for properties located within airport boundaries.
“At its core, what the statute does is create a special kind of property that receives a reduction to its value based on new construction and improvements spent toward such possessory interests in real property,” said Magers.
He also said the provision treats airport properties differently from other commercial properties.
“A homeowner doesn’t get a reduction to their value when they get a new roof on their property,” he said. “But for property that is located within an airport boundary that undertakes new construction or improvements, there is a deduction to that value that the statute mandates.”
Corsale countered that the statute does not create a tax exemption but instead establishes a permissible method for valuing certain types of property.
“To me the answer is no. This is a method of valuation,” he said, arguing that the Missouri Constitution gives the legislature authority to determine how property is valued for tax purposes.
Judge Mary R. Russell questioned whether the deduction could potentially reduce a property’s value to zero if improvements continue over time.
“But couldn’t it be, at some point, a perpetual exemption,” she said, noting the statute allows deductions regardless of when improvement costs were incurred.
Corsale said the improvements ultimately revert to the city when the lease ends.
“What we are dealing with is a private company improving public land that eventually reverts back to the public,” he said. “At the conclusion of the lease, the public gets the benefit of whatever money they put into this property.”
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – A viewer named Donna asked KY3’s Fact Finders whether it is legal for tow trucks with emergency lights to run through a red light. The answer is yes, but with conditions.
Missouri law states that any wrecker or tow truck may proceed past a red stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down as necessary for safe operation.
What the law requires
Three conditions must be met for a tow truck driver to proceed through a red light legally: the driver must be responding to an emergency call, must slow down or stop to confirm the intersection can be crossed safely, and must have at least one lighted lamp displaying a red light visible from 500 feet to the front of the vehicle while also sounding an audible signal such as a siren or bell.
Terry Harden of Terry’s Towing said tow truck drivers can legally be treated the same as other emergency vehicles.
“You really could be treated just like a police car, fire truck, ambulance,” Harden said.
Not every call warrants running a red light
Harden said he uses judgment when deciding whether to exercise that legal right.
“If you call me for a jump start, don’t mean I’m going to run red lights and sirens to get to your jump start,” Harden said.
Dispatchers sometimes instruct drivers to respond quickly to emergency crash scenes, Harden said.
“They want you to be there faster than fast. It says, expedite, expedite. And that’s fine. I will expedite it,” Harden said.
