A College Football Saturday

Yesterday was the home opener for the Missouri Tigers.
What a beautiful day it turned out to be.

The Tigers' opponent was Western Michigan University.

No college football afternoon would be complete without
the thousands of tailgating parties around the stadium.

The Tigers' take the field for pre-game warmups.

The section on the other end is called 'The Hill.' The better
team Missouri has and the more important the game,
the more people fill 'The Hill' with the big block M.
