Troy Isn’t Just a Bad Brad Pitt Movie
It’s been a decidedly unfunny week, set into motion by a decidedly unfunny football game. Instead of being 7.692% of the way to an undefeated season, naysayers abound saying the Tigers are approximately 18% of the way to a 5-6 season. Down with naysayers. If Bob Marley’s taught us anything it’s that positive vibes can make it so (along with the ganja). One Love. “One love! one heart! Let’s get together and feel all right.” Sadly the next line mentions children crying, so even Rasta may not save us now.
Tomorrow, the Tigers take on the Trojans from Troy. How long do you think that mascot decision took? I guess the Troy Troys was too obvious. How would you like our nickname to be the Mizzou Missourians? Last year, the Trojans beat the Tigers, but their best player now plays for the Dallas Cowboys so all is forgiven. Oddsmakers place the Tiggs at 20+ point favorites, so place your bets.
Game time is at 1:00 p.m. We’ll be tailgating by 11:00. For some reason, I have a feeling there won’t be much of a crowd.
p.s. I never saw the movie Troy, but assume it was bad since Brad Pitt was in it. insert standard Brad Pitt/college drop-out/Springfield redneck joke here.
