Double “Football” Time
Happy Double “Football” season, Tiger fans!
On Saturday, our beloved Tigers host the New Mexico State Aggies, kick off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. It’s also senior day, for some reason, so go in early and celebrate the seniors.
On Sunday, the World Cup starts, so it’s the best of the best of the best time of the year as we’ll have “football” from around the globe — featuring crazy places called “Qatar”, “Wales”, “New Mexico” and more. I much appreciate our game against “New Mexico” being senior day, as I do like to go in early for those festivities. Now if someone can adjust the start time of the Arkansas game for me so I can watch all of the USA vs England game before Mizzou kickoff, I’d much appreciate it.
As befitting a cold November night game against what’s possibly a fictional opponent, the tailgating scene at our spot will be minimal. I’ll have a cooler, possibly two. I’ll have a chair, possibly three. And I’ll have four flags. No idea what time I’ll get there, but I hope to see you and yours there shortly thereafter.
Speaking of cold November games and fictional things…. Remember that time Mizzou beat kU in Arrowhead to go to #1 in the country? That was awesome*. On a side note, screw ku.
*you should go back and look at that history, it really was awesome.
Blue Skies, Blue Wildcats, Can’t Lose
Happy November, Tiger fans!
On Saturday, our beloved Tigers host the Wildcats from the University of Kentucky. Kickoff is at the wonderful time of 11:00 a.m., so I’ll be at the tailgate stupid early. (Stupid early = pretty much same time I always get there.) Come when you will.
The weather forecast was not good earlier in the week, but has improved each day and is now looking like blue skies and perfect temperatures. So just like every other day that ends in Y — a fantastic day for football.
We’ll be light on food this tailgate. I’m sure we will end up bringing something small, but beyond beating Kentucky, the theme of the tailgate is likely to be everyone showing up pretty close to kickoff and already having had breakfast. (Or the breakfast part of that should be your theme, anyway, because we won’t have much food.)
Before homecoming, I told you we’d beat Vandy, win at SCar, then have a 4-0 November. As history* has shown, everything I predict in these emails comes true. Come on out Saturday and watch us beat a blue basketball school in football, like the good old days, as Mizzou starts on that 4-0 November.
Speaking of blue basketball schools, screw ku.
*many things about these writings are in fact very predictable, history agrees.
