Porncracker Air Raid
Happy Raincoming Tiger Fans. The best time of the year during the best time of the year is here, beautiful fall to coincide with a beautiful football Saturday. You can tell it’s Homecoming week by the smell of pomp and rainy circumstances around ole Collegetown.
On Saturday, our beloved Tigers take on the Red Raiders from Texas Tech University in a battle of ranked teams (Tigers #15/17, Tech #22/21). It seems that they’ve taken to calling themselves the “Air Raid” for their prolific offense. I’d have suggested “Get Beat By Good Teams” for their habit of said offense getting beat by teams that are any good. I’ve previously documented Tech’s student population, which is entirely made up of people too dumb & poor to get into UT and too stupid to get into A&M. And those that have flunked out of both. Like any good peon population, however, they’ve arisen to take over and have assumed football dominance in the Lone Star State. Sneaky Pirates. Sneaky broken-armed while bicycling pirates.
Tailgate will begin at 11:30 or so. My parents are bringing up ribs from Southeast MO, so wear a don’t mind getting sloppy shirt. Might also pick up some CJ’s at parade time, we’ll see. On the costuming theme, the athletic department is again asking for fans to be decked out in gold. No word on whether the players will again reciprocate with gold pants instead of the Ninja Tiger look. I’ll also be sporting my new porncracker hat (idea courtesy of Joe Walljasper) as both the Tigers and I take another step into the national limelight.
Big crowd is expected again this weekend, ABC is broadcasting the game. Tech appears to be a very good team, pirating jokes aside. Go Tigers, Go buffalos, screw ku, and “ha ha” to the Corn.
