I do not know if this had been mentioned yet, but a new campaign has started on campus. Its the Stay and Sing Campaign. Here is the Facebook Link.

The campaign is directed at getting fans, mostly students, to stay through the end of the game and sing the Alma Mater. I personally think this is a great idea as usually our stadiums are mostly empty when the clock strikes 0:00. For all the work CMA and his team, and all Mizzou teams, have done, we owe it to stay through the end of the games and sing, "Old Missouri, Fair Missouri..."

[Bumped to the Front Page.]

Missouri and the Nebs both lost two games. Mizzou lost to Texas Tech and Nebraska both on the road. Nebraska lost at home to Texas and on the road at A&M. 

I am having trouble understanding why people keep saying that Tech lost is so bad. Last time I checked they were bowl eligible. With Neb, they lost at home to a non-bowl eligible team. Why do the pollsters keep saying Nebraska's body of work is better than Mizzou's, by continuing to put us ahead of us in the polls....

I am just looking for a solid reason on why people rank Nebraska ahead of us...

Over at Rock Chalk Talk they have the Missouri Fact of the Day. Now the people that run that blog are just as passionate about their team as we are. So I was thinking we could do this as well, but that would be stooping to their level and that would also require us, Missouri Fans,  to go out and have to do research on the state of Kansas. I don't want to waste my time on something like that, plus my computer could catch a virus or something. Therefore, I am going to keep it simple....

I. Hate. Kansas.

Since I am a Meteorology at Mizzou I figured it would be a good opportunity for me to share my forecast with you, please remember I am still in school. I am a junior and I do work at the peacock palace in the weather dept. I figured I would just get the forecast out to those who wanted it.

Friday Evening (House Decs/Bar Hopping): Skies will be mostly cloudy. There will be scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms around. Does not not appear to be a total washout. Temps fall drop back into the lower 60s/upper 50s.

Early Saturday Morning (waiting for GameDay): Showers and thunderstorms move into the area. Rain will be widespread. It could be heavy at times. Temps will be in the mid to upper 50s This should be the wettest portion of Homecoming.

GameDay (8-11 am) As the show goes the rain should begin to taper off. A few showers will remain around.  Skies will remain mostly cloudy. Temps will be in lower to mid 60s.

Parade: Some sun may begin to peak out. Clouds will linger. Temps will begin got rise. Expect temps in the mid to upper 60s.

Tailgating: Partly Cloudy. Clouds will linger as there is another chance of thunderstorms are possible. Temps should reach the lower 70s

Kickoff: Partly cloudy to Mostly cloudy. The thunderstorms should stay to the south but a shower is possible. Temps in the upper 60s. Temps will fall during the game so probably need a jacket/hoodie. cant rule out a poncho.

After party: Mostly cloudy and temps in the upper 50

Please remember I am a student. For the the best updated forecast:

Columbia Forecast Page

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but I received an email about this. There will be a public sendoff for the team. Here is the presser from the athletic department:

Columbia, Mo. - Missouri Basketball will host a public sendoff Wednesday morning at Mizzou Arena. The Tigers are expected to leave shortly before 11 a.m. on Wednesday and will board the buses in front of the south (administration) entrance to Mizzou Arena on the back side of the building.

YAY. I dont know if this has been discussed or not lol but I am 100% for it. Texas has their steak, Oklahoma their horse, and Colorado a buffalo. Why not us have a kitty on the field?! It can be placed right where the visiting team come out of!

I am asking for your Help. Children's Hospital and Y107 in Columbia is in a contest that ends on Friday. The Winner with the most votes gets a $50,000 donation to their Children's Hospital. The radio station Y107 is a big supporter of this cause.  On Tuesday, Y107 was 80k votes behind. This morning went I went to work at KOMU they were about 50,000 votes behind. Well I just got back to my room and now they are in the lead. But we want them to stay their. All you have to do is go the link and register your email. And you can vote up to 10 per day / per email account. This whole process takes 5 minutes at most. Please help Y107 and Children's Hospital stay in first!

Thanks!

So I was procrastinating on some homework and was playing around the Mizzou Athletic Website and found this story under Coach Mike Anderson's Bio.

Would any of you have envisioned we would be where we were 3 years ago?

My answer would have been no. 3 years ago I could not have named 5 players on the team. Now look at where we are....

This is my first fan post so hopefully its a decent one:

I came across this blog from ESPN's Tim Griffin. He is discussing the Big XII's decade and makes not one single remark on Mizzou or their players. Makes me like the the Big Ten even more.

Anyone care to offer thoughts?
