re: LSU Mizzou game attendance

Hope you'll be there! Join in some fun with fellow Tigers fans at Harpo's after the game.

And I've got nothing bad to say about Louisiana, well, South Louisiana anyway, where they have a ton of fun year round in cities from Lafayette to New Orleans, one of the best cities on the planet for food and music and drinking. And even though Baton Rouge has its industrial eyesores, I had a blast there for a weekend with my girlfriend.

All this bashing of one another's states is kind of juvenile, don't you think? Every state and city in the union have their high points and low points. Every single one. OK, Gary, Ind., doesn't have many redeeming qualities.

Hoping for a Missouri Tigers win, but if they don't, I won't be embarrassed to be outscored by that LSU offense. Our preseason overrated defense has not been good against the pass. I will be embarrassed if the Missouri Tigers don't keep up with the Bayou Bengals to a large degree and hopefully get the ball last to pull it out. Of course, I wouldn't complain about a blowout win, but I doubt that occurs.

Can't wait for the game! Laissez les bons temps rouler!
