LSU should bring back those end zone fonts. Or use the current font and fill the end zone.

We've got a few great ones that the world can be thankful for coming out of Missouri.
Let's start with the modern day game of football, you like that forward pass you often see your star QB making? Well, the forward football pass originated in St. Louis, Missouri.
Forward Pass:
Saint Louis University, under Coach Eddie Cochems, pioneered the first modern passing offense. On September 5, 1906, Bradbury Robinson completed the first legal forward pass in a college football game against Carroll College — a 20-yard touchdown throw that changed football forever.
Forward Pass
The 1904 Summer Olympics – First U.S. Games:
St. Louis hosted the 1904 Summer Olympics, the first-ever Olympic Games held outside Europe. Events were held at Washington University’s Francis Field and ran July 1 to November 23, 1904. Missouri brought the international Olympics to America for the first time.

...and last not but least. You can thank us for your annual homecoming game and events surrounding it. You're welcome.
Homecoming – The University of Missouri:
Mizzou lays claim to hosting the first modern Homecoming football game in 1911: coach C. L. Brewer invited alumni to “come back home” for the dedication of a new stadium, swelling attendance to over 10,000 fans. Many credit MU with starting the tradition.
