Hey, More 5th Down Stories
The beloved Tigers from Mizzou host the Colorado Buffaloes on their farewell tour this Saturday, kickoff is at 6:00 p.m. I’m hosting a 20-year fraternity pledge class reunion at the tailgate, which is clearly both good and bad news. Good news means food will again be provided by Hoss’s Market, there around 3:00 p.m. I’ll be at the tailgate by Noon. Bad news, well, we won’t get into that fully, but it’s safe to assume there will be ridiculous claims, tales of freakish adventure, and mildly inappropriate nicknames, and that’s just from the Preacher in the group.
The start of Big 12 play also means the bitterness is back in full swing, as you’ll soon notice. The message of this week’s tailgate will be “Hey, shut up with your freaking 5th down stories already. Yeah, I remember, thanks. And yeah, it still makes me mad. And yeah, he still hasn’t scored. Yes, random fan in Boulder last year asking us if we still took that seriously, yes, we do. Shut up. We wuz robbed. Seriously, shut up. Or at least take down that national championship sign, either way. Oh hey, look, the Tigers scored again. Shut up.”
With the 5th down nonsense, 55-0 shall be the final score. See you there at Noon. Or 4.
