Well that pretty much sums up the weekend. We had a bye for volleyball on Wednesday so the week has been pretty long and boring. The biggest win for the Tigers this weekend is in Mizzou Soccer. They won the Big 12 Championship Tournament in San Antonio this afternoon 1-0 over Colorado. They opened up the touney on Wednesday vs Texas winning 3-1, then played Kansas Friday night. They advanced to the championship game on penalty kicks after they tied the game 1-1 and winning the PK shootout 4-3.
Volleyball had a big win today against OU. We swept them, 25-15, 25-17, 25-20. That was a huge win after they beat us in 4 to start Big 12 play there and they upset Texas last week at Texas. Lauren had a career day with 19 kills. We play at Nebraska on Wednesday & at Colorado on Saturday. Both will be tough games. CU has been playing great at home and not so well on the road, so that is a big road game for us.
Now rewind to Saturday night football. Mizzou hosted Kansas State for the final home game of the year. (The Kansas game is a home game for us, but we play it at Arrowhead in Kansas City). Emily came over for the game and we had a great time. It was a little chilly, but we survived. Temperature at the 6 pm kickoff was 34 degrees (windchill of 24), it never got above 40 yesterday I don't think. It was an emotional pregame for all, as they began by honoring fallen senior teammate Aaron O'Neil, who is Forever a Tiger, and the other 22 seniors who are the winnningest class in Mizzou Football history. After a slow start the Mizzou Tigers pulled out the win 41-24. Jmac had a GREAT game, scoring 3 touchdowns. Chase Patton got in and threw a his first touchdown pass, which was special for his last home game, especially because he is a hometown kid. The only downside of the night was that the Mizzou game was at 6 and the Texas Tech-Oklahoma State game was at 7. Between Dad & Kyle we got scoring updates and shared with all those around us--all of which were pulling for the Red Raiders. After a scary fumble to start the game, the Red Raiders pounded the Cowboys 56-20. They have a week off and then will play a very tough game in Norman vs OU.

Emily & I all bundled up before the game.
All smiles before kickoff.
Emily was trying text with her huge ski gloves, I thought it was entertaining.
I couldn't resist taking this picture, it was late in the 4th quarter & everyone around us had left. Emily said she now knows what she would feel like if she weighed 100 pounds more. She couldn't even get her jacket zipped because she had so many layers on. She can still see the game through the tiny crack between her scarf & toboggan. (Yes, toboggan for you MidWesterners!)

AMEN!
We're not fair weather fans though!! We are TRUE Tiger fans :) Plus she had no idea where the car was, so she was stuck with me at the game.
