The Wilson Family: Mizzou Tigers vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Football 2011

What may now be the last time the Missouri Tigers and the Texas Tech Red Raiders meet (since Missouri is SEC bound) had to no doubt be the football game to end all football games! The day started out on the right foot when Drew's old college cheerleading coach (that's right, Drew was a college cheerleader!) gave the boys and us a ride on the golf cart behind the stadium to see all the "goings on". Even better they got to ride in the helmet car too! After cheering for the Tigers and booing the Texas Tech bus we returned to our tailgate where we met up with all of the Wilson extended family members as well as my family members (Jeff, Kelsey and Kyle) to throw a football around and maybe enjoy a beverage or two.

Before the game began Nolan and I stood in line to get former Missouri Quarterback (and Southlake Carroll Dragon Quarterback) Chase Daniel's autograph! Nolan was sure to let Chase know that not only was he a Tiger fan he was a Dragon too! What's more cool is we found a picture of him and Chase on the "We are Mizzou" Facebook page. Nolan's almost famous!

The game wasn't going Missouri's way most of the 4 quarters until the very end. For whatever reason we decided to take the boys and sit by the band in the end zone. Tigers pulled ahead near the very end of the game but Texas Tech was driving the ball down the field. With what seemed like an inevitable touch down happening right in front of us the Missouri defense intercepted the ball and well, that was all she wrote! Mizzou Wins! (I tried not to rub salt in Dave's wounds...he's not a fan of watching Tech play in Missouri.)
