Jason's Untimely Thoughts

It’s homecoming-like in Columbia, Mo., even if it’s not homecoming weekend.  There’s a chill in the air and the trees are starting to turn pretty shades of red, gold, and orange.  This is all happening early this year, in anticipation of the arrival of the OSU orange pants.  They may be men (or kids), they may be 40 (or 41) (youtube video for context) but they can’t be proud wearing orange pants.

OK State is decent team, ranked #17, which we shall beat by 30.  Something like 52-24 seems like a good guess to me.   ESPN2 is broadcasting the game, which will begin at 7:00 pm.  We’ll be tailgating no later than mid-afternoon, joined by the group from my work again this game.  Hoss’s Market will be doing the catering, food served at 4:00 p.m.  Hope to see you and yours there.

While I’m very used to the Tigers being good, even great, and answer “yes” when people ask me if I ever believed this was possible, I admit that it is very odd to see articles asking “Who Needs the punter, anyway?” and ESPN Magazine cover stories featuring our back up quarterback.  On a side note, screw ku.
