I might write for a Missouri blog, but I’m not a native of Missouri – I’m a transplant from Oklahoma.
Tomorrow in college football, my beloved Sooners, ranked #5 in the nation, will be taking on the Missouri Tigers, undefeated and ranked #11.
Anyone care to make a friendly wager? Not for cash, of course.
A friend of mine, a firefighter in Austin, made a bet with a fellow firefighter from Oklahoma at a union meeting that Texas would win that year’s OU-TX matchup. The loser would have to sing the opposing team’s fight song in front of the assembled next union meeting. OU won that year 63-14.
Luckily for my friend, the OU fight song is remarkably easy to memorize.
but I don’t care if Mizzou wins a football game or not.
Now, basketball …
…are Arizona and whoever is playing Tempe Normal.
