Yet another win - We have a Pig down!

#9 in the Nation!

Tommy "Little T" Saunders on the catch and run

The gnome came through again. In spite of Matt wearing his unlucky yellow shirt the tigers pulled it off. Lets begin with the tailgate. This weeks tailgate was another first. Jays AssFire chili was delicious, although we found out that while wonderful on their own. Nates dogs are not meant to be served with Chili. Lips and asshole dogs are made to be a chili dog. Who knew. We were a light crowd of only 5 this week. The boys and Carrie. Yes Carrie was in heaven with the attention of the 4 men.

I now have a name! My name is Mitch! So from hence forth I shall be referred to as such.

The game was not what everyone was expecting. A crowd the was quite and just plain flat for most of the game did not help the Tiger defense. Although Chase was looking decent he did slightly over throw Rucker and the it ended up as a pick 6. I personally think that it is ball the T-Ruck normally comes down with, so we will call it a half interception for Chase and half fumble for Ruck. I guess my feeling about this game is that we were due for a let down. We had 3 games against ranked opponents in a row and came through it with one loss to an Oklahoma team that is very good. So to have a letdown against Iowa State I can forgive. We still won. Furthermore ISU is better than their record. Nebraska better look out. Iowa State might just put them in the cellar next year. How fun would that be. Nebraska in the cellar of the North division!

Missouri did not escape the game unscathed. Defensive SUPERSTAR Pig Brown has a ruptured achilles tendon and is out for the season. In a normal year I would think this may be a problem. However this year the tigers are destined to succeed. So Pig is down and Del Howard will step in and be every bit the playmaker that Pig is.

On to Colorado! Buffalo burgers for dinner anyone!
