Despite the rain, we had a great time at the Missouri-Nevada game on Saturday. Lance met us at the gate and made sure we had everything we needed. We ended up sitting on the 50 yard line with Uncle, Chad and Jiggs, so the kids had a great view of the field. MU's fake punt that resulted in a touchdown happened right in front of us; what an awesome play! It just doesn't get any better than that!
Here's Chase looking for a receiver. Chase was 23-28 passing with 405 yards. Coffman and Maclin put on quite a show for us as well with 127 yards and 172 yards receiving.
Mizzou on the ground: 132 yards rushing with 80 of those belonging to Washington. After Mizzou had put the game out of reach, we got to see Chase Patton take over at quarterback. He had 72 yards passing and he rushed for a touchdown. This kid could have been a starter on a different football team, but being raised in Columbia, he knew from the time he was a little boy that he wanted to be an MU Tiger. He chose to join a team where he knew he would play back-up because being a Tiger meant that much to him. Wow, what a guy!
Homeward Bound: Here are Michael and Alyssa wearing their Daniel jerseys that Lance bought them. The look on Michael's face was priceless when I told him that Lance knew Chase and the rest of the football team. I didn't realize that Michael was unaware of that little bit of information. He's already wondering if Lance can get Chase's autograph for him. Michael will be a "rock star" among his friends with the autograph of the next Heisman Trophy winner. Go Mizzou!
