I received this e-mail today:

My name is David Thiessen and I am the Vice President of Traditions for the Alumni Association Student Board (AASB). I am writing to you to ask a favor for our organization. We are hosting a spirit rally this upcoming Tuesday, October 6, at the South steps of Jesse Hall at 7:00 PM before the Tigers football game with Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are currently ranked in the Top 25 and this Thursday night game is being shown nationwide on ESPN. It is a big game for Mizzou and we want to show the team that the student body is behind them. Our goal is to have at least 2,000 people attend the rally and I was hoping that we could count on your organization to help us achieve that mark. Gary Link will be the emcee and we will have appearances by Gary Pinkel, select football players, the Golden Girls, cheerleaders and Marching Mizzou. This is an opportunity to show the football team our support and let them know how badly we want to beat those Cornhuskers. Please pass the information along to your organization and hopefully we can see you at Jesse Hall next Tuesday at 7:00 PM. Let me know if you have any questions.

I got this article e-mailed to me today.  Not sure the validity of the article, but I thought it was interesting.  It could be a joke, and I could be a huge sucker, but I thought I would share it anyway.

Went directly to the basketball game today after coming back from Kansas City.  I couldn't help but realize that Zaire Taylor, with his trimmed gotee, looked very similar to Kanye West.

I know it's kind of a strech, but at the game I really thought they looked similar.  I thought I would post it because I am bored and also want to distract myself from studying for my test tomorrow.
