Jason's Untimely Thoughts

Happy Thursday, Tiger fans!  On Saturday, once again, our beloved Tigers continue their unbeaten (at home) season when they face the Volunteers from the University of Tennessee.

Kickoff is once again scheduled at the awful time of 11:00 a.m.  I’ll once again be there earlier than that, see you then.  Mike & Sarah Messer are bringing a healthy portion of breakfast tacos.  As always, love to see anyone that stops by.  You should stop by.  Bring something if you like.

A good friend has taken to referring to Tennessee as “Orange Nebraska” and Nebraska as “Red Tennessee.”   I like that description very much and have co-opted it as my own joke.  They’re basically interchangeable football programs.  They used to be good, had a really good run, and then are deranged enough to believe that it is their birthright to always be that good (and will be again, probably not this year, but definitely next year).  And then they wear white jeans or orange overalls to drive home their point.

Luckily for all of our enjoyment, their football teams can’t live up to their deranged dreams, so they fire their football coaches every few years and we get to laugh at their losses.  This week we get to laugh at Orange Nebraska in person, as the Tigers win 38-30 and Josh Heupel’s offense controls the ball for approximately 17 minutes.

Go Tigers, beat Orange Nebraska.  Call Mike Messer at Shelter Insurance or Sarah Messer at Flat Branch Home Loans for all your insurance and home loan needs.  They have casts to pay for. 

Mizzou will be wearing their all black uniforms this week — the ninja look.  Speaking of things that sneak up on you and come out of nowhere but are also very predictable, screw ku.

Happy Thursday, Tiger fans! On Saturday, our beloved Tigers continue their unbeaten (at home) season when they face the Red Hawks from SEMO. Kickoff is at 11:00 a.m., the game should be effectively over by 11:45 a.m. 52-10 is the final score.

Historically, 11:00 am games have poorly attended tailgates, but I’ll be there early. It’ll be a scaled down tailgate this week. I’ll be bringing somewhere between 3-5 chairs and a couple of coolers for additional seating. If you’d like something else, please bring it. Old time tailgate this week, hope to See You there.

I had a bunch of stuff written about how people in southeast Missouri should start taking the vaccine so they would, you know, stop dying in alarming numbers, especially before it impacts more of my friends and family than it already has. But I’m mostly deleting that and just going with this. Don’t be dumb. Get a vaccine. If you think you’re being dumb, stop.

Speaking of stupid things that suck, screw ku.

Happy New Year, Tiger fans! Or is this an old year? Last year? Another year? Same as the other year? Time has no meaning.

Anyway, on Saturday, our beloved Tigers host the Chippewas from Central Michigan University. A quick bit of internet research has told me that Chippewa is a Native American word meaning “get vaccinated you morons and then you won’t have to take whatever medicine OAN starts propping up next and kids can stay in school and we can have a normal football season and businesses can stay open.” It’s super weird that Native Americans knew about OAN.

Kickoff is at 3:00 p.m. The tailgate will start way before that. We are providing wings from CJ’s and D. Rowe’s. As always, anyone interested should provide your presence. Sides and desserts are good bringing options, if you’re bringing options.

I guess I should point out we’re in Lot D again. Also, the Tigers will be going 15-0. Lot D! 15-0! Lot D! Football! On a side note, screw ku.
