Saturday Tailgate: Missourah

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt travels to Missouri today and, well... wait... the temperature is supposed to be 84 degrees at kickoff? In Missouri? In October?

Anyway, unlike the last three times out when we were playing top 10 teams, this is a game we can win. It’s at 3 PM. SEC Network.
