M-I-Z-Z-O-U!

This weekend the University of Missouri (Mizzou) will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the invention of Homecoming so I have decided to decorate my blog in the distinct black and gold that defines and embodies my fair alma matter.

In 1911, Athletic Director Chester Brewer invited Missouri fans to "come home" for the game against our arch rival, Kansas (kU). Over 9,000 people attended the game and Homecoming was born.

For the last 100 years Mizzou has been celebrating Homecoming in style. With one of the largest blood drives in the nations, a huge parade, and house decorations which take months to prepare, Homecoming is the highlight of the school year for students and alumni alike.

This year will be no different.

I am sad, frankly devastated, I can't be at the 100th celebration. I am sure it is going to be a blast. I am expecting lots of pictures, so be prepared.

Every true son, so happy hearted, the sky's above us are blue. There's a spirit deep within us, Ole Missouri here's to YOU!

GO TIGERS.
