Well, it has happened, our daughter will be going off to MIZZOU and I will have to wear MIZZOU merch. Is there apparel with both Mizzou and Tennessee on it? And if so, where can I buy it?

Now, I will have to add MIZZOU colors to my wardrobe.

There are worse things that could happen to you, HoopCreek. I mean, Bama could've happened to you. Or Florida. Georgia. Vandy. Auburn. Clemson. Any B10 school.

[Vandy did happen to me, so I know your conflicting emotions]

I don't know of any mixed-program merchandise, no. Even Bobby Bowden's wife had to make shirts for herself when her son and husband met on the field. You might need to learn how to sew. One of the many turrible things Mizzou is doing to you.

Heh.

Go Vols!

You can probably buy one of each, cut them down the middle, sew them together, and you have two half-and-half shirts. You could look for a tailor or alterations shop to do it for you.

BTW, she was accepted to BAMA, but a father has to draw the line somewhere.

Just binge watch the Ozarks on Netflix. That should make everything fair and square.

You live in Missouri or something? When I was making my college choice (about 10 years ago now, wow time flies), Tennessee was WAY cheaper than the out of state schools. Not even close with instate tuition, Hope and academic scholarships they offered.

We've lived in MO for over 20 years. My older son graduated from Mizzou in Business. He's done very well.

I have lived in STL for last 40 years and all three of my kids attended Mizzou because of scholarships and low in state tuition. I, however, do not own any Mizzou paraphernalia! I proudly wore orange every time I was on campus in Columbia. Picture of my golf cart attached.

LOL. Great people. Every place has a beauty of its own. I was thinking of a post like yours last November as I sat in a deer stand watching a bunch of does glean a soy bean field while the sun crested over the horizon reflecting off the frost and snow. Every spring the winter wheat comes up the most amazing color of emerald green. Few things are any more beautiful than rolling hills covered with a blanket of corn in June.

I grew up a mile from the GSM NP... easily one of the most beautiful places in the world. And Missouri ain't nearly as bad as you seem to think.

One man's trash is another man's treasure, I spose.

I do think each of us hold memories that are special, to us. Different places, times, situations can influence that.

I know that feeling you're talking about. Where the World sits quiet, and your senses are in tune. Distractions cease & flight or flight is replaced with a rush of dopamine. IMG_1192.jpeg
I hear what you're sayin' bru.

Not Missouri, but I always crap on Arkansas. My Peruvian wife craps right back on me- she lived in the Ozarks for about a year right after she came to the US and said it's beautiful country. I'd love to get out and visit. Certainly better than where I am now by any measure, anyway.

Northwest Arkansas was nice. But people make the place... so most of Arkansas probably not the place for me.

Had to LOL at this as I married a Vol Alum when we lived in MO. We have moved around a bit and now live in FL. I get harassing from my brother who lives in Mo. His daughter goes to Mizzou. Why do I root for the Vols when I did not attend UT? Well I also did not attend Mizzou...I graduated from St. Louis U. I like to root for UT because my wife when their and we have attended many game at UT and think they have some of the best fans in college sports.

I went to UTK for my undergrad and master's degrees and went to Mizzou for my Ph.D. I never owned any Mizzou gear and only wore UTK gear.

When people asked me about it, I just said (and still do).... I have one woman (my wife of 25 years) and one team - Tennessee. It will be that way until I die.

Tell your daughter, she'll understand.

You would probably have to get something custom made, but there are likely numerous individual creators or designers online capable of making such paraphernalia.

Honestly, after reading your post I can’t get that later SNL Superfans skit (I think it was from the late 90s) out of my head…where after Mike Ditka left to coach the Saints, one of them moved to Jackson, TN (halfway between Chicago and New Orleans) and wore this jersey and hat the entire time:

I was lucky enough that my son went to UT as I did so I did not have this issue. My question is why do you have to wear Missouri colors. If my son had gone to another SEC school I can guarantee you I would not be wearing the school colors of the school he attended.
