With only one more home football game of the season, its safe to say I’m sad its over. Previous to my junior year, I had never attended a football game. As a splurge for myself, I bought tickets this season to watch our tigers wreak havoc against all other teams.
Nothing can bring a group of people together like grilled foods, fun games, and tiger football. Literally I’ve got to meet so many people, have so many laughs, and watch unforgettable moments happen. I won’t be able to attend the last game of the season during Thanksgiving Break against the University of Arkansas. Here are all of the things I am going to miss that we got to have during football season:
- I’m going to miss the smell of game day in the air. Nothing beats grilled hotdogs and burgers with fresh salsa and lots of chips!
- Walking around campus in black and gold and getting to see everyone as one is one of the best feelings in the world. I love being able to represent our school in such a positive way.
- I will miss face stickers, tiger ears, and extra hairspray! Waking up on a game day is like waking up for Christmas; you have all this bottled up excitement that you can’t wait to get out. My room will forever be a disaster due to changing outfits and losing my favorite lipsticks in my bottomless bag.
- I will forever miss walking into the stadium and hearing the crowd roar, the sound of popping popcorn, and the smell of sweet seat from the team.
- Nothing beats the boom of the cannon when we get a touchdown that always scares me to death. I love watching the flags get ran around the stadium and the people yelling MIZ-ZOU
- I never get tired of standing on my feet for 2 quarters and always feeling so tired. But it's entirely worth it when everyone is just as hyped as you are.
- One of the greatest feelings had to be the Mizzou vs. Georgia game when the stadium was tiger striped. Watching stripes of gold and black around the stadium was such a surreal feeling that although we seem so big, nothing was really able to compare size wise.
- Tigers, I know it been a hard season with a new coach BUT I expect a win from our last SEC game pretty please, from a forever tiger fan.
Let's finish the season strong because why not? We have such high expectations from you boys, the hogs really are not that cool!
