Jason's Untimely Thoughts

The Tigers second home contest of the year, versus the Nevada Wolfpack, is Saturday at 11:30.  Originally on pay per view, the game will now be on Fox Sports due to Hurricane Ike.   I realize Ike will not likely make it to Missouri, but there’s no point using logic with Fox.

In Ike’s honor, rain is in the forecast, lots of rain potentially.  It will go well with the lots of points we’ll score.  It will not go so well with tailgating, so we’ll likely get there by 9:30 or so with limited tailgate action.  If the kids accompany, we’ll be there in time for Tiger Walk.  If not, you might even have to look for us elsewhere in Lot D as I’m not sure we’ll make it in time to claim a muddy spot on the grass.  So, to recap, because of the poor weather, early start time, etc., I’m only planning on going to the game 2 hours before it starts to sit in the rain.  I’m slipping.

Nevada is considerably better than SEMO, losing to Texas Tech last week 35-19.  They were able to contain TT offense better than most, so it might be a battle to get our 52 points this week.  52-20 is my prediction.

Adelaide told me last night I should retire so I could play more golf.  When the topic of money was raised, she said we could either resurrect their lemonade stand or put out an envelope that people could put money in.  I would get half, she would get half, and Jack would get half.  Election year math has made its way to Grant Elementary.

The red-legged shoe wearing prairie chickens play at South Florida this evening.  South Florida is coached by Jim Leavitt, an All Big 8 football and baseball player for Mizzou in the 1970s.  Go South Florida, you’re the Bull.  On  a side note, screw ku.
