Tiger time

Geert headed up to Mizzou last weekend to watch the Tigers' game against Iowa State. He met up with his friends Kim, Deana and Kevin Pape and hit the old haunts: Shakespeare's, the 'Berg and Flat Branch.

Saturday night, they stopped off at a Halloween party with supremely cool decorations that started 50 feet in front of the house, featured chainsaws and a fog machine and didn't stop until you were startled by the hairy bat over the sink in the bathroom.

The game was a good time, even though the Tigers didn't have their sharpest outing. (We realized soon afterward how thrilled we would have been five short years ago to win a game 42-28, so we didn't fuss for long.) The weather was freakin' awesome, the flyover rocked and we had plenty of opportunities to flinch as the ROTC boys fired the cannon.
