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.
