Jason's Untimely Thoughts

Happy Thursday, Tiger fans!  On Saturday, our beloved Tigers continue their home winning ways against the Aggies from Texas A&M University.   

Texas A&M believes in tradition more than they believe in the sun.  Out of respect for our guests, the SEC gave us our standard time slot of 11:00 a.m. kickoff, which means early tailgating.  I’ll be there early, please come see me.  As is tradition for stupid 11:00 kickoff times, we will have breakfast tacos arriving again this week.  As has become tradition when Mizzou plays early Homecoming games against bad opponents, the following game turns into Homecoming 2, the Homecominger.  Lots of old faces back in town this weekend, so good times will be had.  Sides and desserts and Bloody Mary’s* and friends are good options for bringing.  Call Kim and Jason for all your speaking and bedding needs.

This would normally be the spot where I make fun of Aggies and all their stupid stuff.  And believe me, they have a metric ton of stupid stuff.  Last week the internet went crazy for a day or two when just a random recent Yell Practice video went viral.  They do that nonsense every game and it’s no where near the top of the Aggie stupid stuff list.  But then they beat Alabama and everyone quit laughing at them, so I shall follow suit and refrain from Aggie jokes.

However, after the Tigers beat the hell outta Texas A&M (whoop!) on Saturday, final score of 34-28, I shall tell anyone who will listen about their Howdy ways of planting dead dogs near the scoreboard so the dead dogs can always see the score of the game, how they only have the dead dogs as former mascots because a group of students ran over a dog once, and how saying “Gig em” while giving a basic thumbs up sign is almost worse than every other hand symbol used by all the other universities in Texas combined.  And so on.

*I’ve been writing these stupid things for many many years and I still have no idea how to properly pluralize “Bloody Mary.”  Speaking of many many years of stupid things, screw ku.
