Meat Bone Gold Rush ‘Coming

without comments

Happy Homecoming, Tiger fans!

We enter the eye of the happiest time of the year hurricane this weekend, as Mizzou Homecoming is upon us!  On Saturday, our beloved Tigers host the Commodores from Vanderbilt University, kickoff is at 3:00 pm.  It’s a gold rush game, so wear your gold.  Or play Rush pinball at Shakespeare’s.  Either way.

The trees are in great fall color and the weather will be perfect all weekend, as history demands that it be on homecoming weekend*.  I’ll be at the tailgate for good around 11:30, earlier if I skip the parade.  Come on by when you will.  

We will have ribs from southeast Missouri as the main fare, any side of your liking would be an awesome thing to bring, if you’re in to bringing things.  Otherwise, meat on a bone and football, as God intended.  (I think I just got elected Senator from an SEC state with that slogan.)

There’s nothing funny to say about Vanderbilt.  Their basketball court sucks and they borrow a marching band from a nearby university, but making fun of a struggling football team in black and gold isn’t my style.  Thankfully, after this week the struggles are over.  Wins over Vandy and at SCar will put the Tigers back on track and ready for a 4-0 November.  On a side note, screw ku.

*history does not in fact demand perfect weather on homecoming weekend.
