With all the controversy about the Nebraska Cornuskers game play, the spitting at Chase, the immature manner of their players (at least one) and their crying about their gloried past, (Oh yeah - and their coaches citing defensive postures to shut out the TigersI thought it would be fun to start a Nebraska joke chain.  To kick it off here is my submission (oh, please put in Kansas Jayhawk jokes - those are good anytime):

What's the difference between a Nebraska fan and a Tiger fan?

The Nebraska fan looks forward to yesterday!

Has anyone seen Fox Sports yet?  Chase Daniel is #1 in the Heisman Race after Week 2...

Chase #1 on Fox

He's #1 after Week 2.  He only played one half.  He's 52 yards from being Mizzou's all time passer.  And we got plenty of football yet to play this season.  Does Life get any better than this?  Well, OK, if it involves KU, OU and enough duct tape for their arrogant fan base...

Missouri not only performed as expected, they overshot it.  With many predictions ranging from 30-34 points for Mizzou, the Tigers put 52 points on the board.  The offense looked great in the first half, J-Mac is back for another great year and our rushing game looks like it's solid as hoped.

However, with the Tigers 52 points, the Illini added 42 points, much more than the predicted range of 20.  Again, the first half looked pretty strong until Castine Bridges got burned not once but twice.  And in the final minutes, Juice Williams did add 7 points to the board.

Tigers - you have every right to celebrate a great victory.  You beat your first threat of the game, defeating a Top 20 team and rival.  I do believe they have IT this year.  I just hope that adjustments get made earlier in the game and a few fingernails are left after their next big threat.

It will be fun to watch them the next 3 games to see how they learn.  Then they'll have 2 weeks to prepare for Nebraska and then let the games begin.

<!-- TOKEN_1219716634128_TOKEN -->Any person with true pride in their alma mater loves seeing their school logo emblazoned anywhere it can go.  Naturally, I fit into this category.

A proud graduate of Missouri along with growing up in Columbia, I have amassed many articles of clothing with Mizzou upon them.  Plus I have a few helmets, more than few prints, a candy dish, a few teddy bears for my girls - OK, you get the picture.  So, when I got home today, you can imagine my surprise when I learned that Pop Tarts helped with my collection.  To commemorate the upcoming start of College Football, the folks at Pop Tarts are now featuring their fine product with various schools imaged upon their frosting.  Hey, if M&M can customize their tasty morsels with your logo, why not the folks at Kellogg’s as well?

Interesting marketing here, in my opinion.  Although the normal target is children and moms, Kellogg entertains a different audience; but then drops the ball.   Kellogg - why not continue marketing this product with an online fantasy football league, college football blog or tickets to a BCS bowl?  Instead, this is what you get when you go to their site.

OK, so not everything at Kellogg’s is perfect.  But their Missouri Tiger Pop Tarts are.  And I can’t seem to eat mine - I just like looking at…
