Jason's Untimely Thoughts

Happy Thursday, Tiger fans!

On Saturday, our beloved Tigers host the Volunteers from Tennessee (aka Orange Nebraska). It’s a wear black game with kickoff scheduled for 2:30 p.m. It’s also super nice of the SEC to schedule this one on the first weekend of deer season, so it’s difficult to tell who is deer hunting, who is picking up trash on the highways, who just got out on parole, and why those people are TN fans (standard TN joke, sorry). It should be a perfect day for football, especially considering it’s November, as the Tigers finally beat Heupel to improve to 8-2 on the season, I’ve got a final score of 38-27.

In the day and age of NIL money for student athletes, we’ll be participating by having Imo’s pizza, sponsor of everybody’s longtime favorite quarterback Brady Cook and the current “throw the ball to…!” receiver Luther Burden.  We’ll also have CJ’s wings, because that’s sort of our own NIL deal at this point. A solid chunk of my life could be traced back to CJ’s, including two current tuition payments at Mizzou and a vast majority of the typical tailgate crowd. The typical tailgate crowd this year has oscillated between “wow, a lot of people here” and “holy hell, there’s a lot of people here.” I have no idea what to expect this weekend, other than as many as 5 Green Wave (green waves?) but as always, friends, sides, and desserts are good bringing options.

I’ve run out of things to say.  Come buy a mattress. screw ku.
