Mizzou is recognized by many as beginning the Homecoming tradition which is celebrated by colleges, universities and high schools around the country. Click here for a discussion of the history of Homecoming. They also claim the first bowl game with University of Texas (see above photo)in Mexico City.
After the Tailgate Party, we were ready for some football, but first we watched the team enter the field, followed by Truman the Tiger (the mascot)---the fire engine sprayed water on the fans in the cheap seats!
The game began and we quickly took the lead.
The half-time show had the real Marching Mizzou band spelling out M-I-Z-Z-O-U.
The chocolate cupcakes Roman had at the Tailgate Party, weren't quite enough for a growing boy.
Every time there was a touch-down, Truman had to do push-ups---he must have been exhausted at the end of the game with 58 push-ups.
We decided to leave during the 4th Quarter with Roman. We took him back to the hotel with us where we all crashed at 9:30 PM.
The next morning, we went to Boone's Tavern for brunch with the Lewises and the Yateses.
Roman and Nana (Marilyn Lewis) entertained us. After brunch, the Lewises and Yateses celebrated Zachary and Megan's birthdays while we headed back to St. Louis.
