Tailgating (for Football)
This Saturday the Tigers (of Missouri) take on the mighty RedHawks (formerly Redskins) from Miami (of Ohio). Game time is at 1:00 p.m., we’ll be at the tailgate by 10:00. Ribs from SE Missouri (of the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten) have made the trip, if anyone is interested in bringing a side dish, am sure that will be eaten as well.
Beyond moving to 4-0 on the season, Saturday is also Adelaide (of Columbia)’s birthday. She’ll be 8, and we’ll have birthday cake (of HyVee) and ice cream (of Central Dairy) at the tailgate for that. This afternoon she and three friends are having a tie dye party, making shirts and whatnot.
I tried to look up some stuff about Miami (of Ohio) to make fun of, but quickly found out that I didn’t care too much. Hey, they’re in Ohio! pretty much seems to be what you need to know. The parenthetical will be the stuff of making fun this week. They do have some Columbia connections. Defensive coordinator is Carl Reese, a 1966 Mizzou grad and former Mizzou coach (1966, 1977-81). And #64 Josh Harvey (of Hickman HS) is an offensive lineman for them. And it’s been scientifically proven that anyone who wears #64 is a super genius funny guy.
They also make a big point of being the “Cradle of Coaches”. Of course in that category they list their Synchronized Skating coaching connections as proof, among other things, so let’s not get carried away with those stories.
Go Tigers, happy birthday to AEB, see you at the tailgate.
