Wednesday was like any other day. I left work and headed for Columbia. Took a shot of Sake, and went on my way.


work


sake

Drove through KC listening to Bowie. The sun was setting, my gf was excited. She is a uk fan and dragged me to the uk/nubb game last sat.

I entered Columbia listening to Temple of Boom, and picked up the tickets from my aunt and uncles. They opted not to go to the game, for they had tickets to see Stomp™ instead. Ironically, so did I.

I've been to Missou Arena many times, and it's still gorgeous. Parked in the ROTC lot just off of Maryland and Kentucky.

The walk was uphill, and I had no idea the game was headed in the opposite direction. I was the only CatFan™ in my section, and the seats were the very top seats in the entire place.

Images rezzed down for message board viewability. I took over 150 pics, but just uploaded random ones.

Here goes:


nice place











































here is one actual size -

nm. too big


brutal ugly game.

Thank you ECN, that was life changing... not as life changing as a promise of a cell phone that was never deliverd, but will be - BUT, life changing none the less.

Wow, that arena looks really, really nice.

*Jealous*
I'd much rather have a 69 year old coach than one that weighs 400+ pounds.

From the way he is tugging at them I don't think Frank likes his new suit pants.  He looked sharp last night though (for Frank).  Excellent shirt/tie combo.  Post one of that if you have a good one ECN.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
I think the arena is garbage.  Concourses feel like a HS gym.

Tech's is a billion times nicer.

I see. Nice recap. And I love the tiger tail on that one lady, very cute. :shy:

Is Ron Anderson as calm as he looks on the tube? :confused:

really nice job on the pics and prose!  makes me feel like i was there (except for vicious backstabbing catcalls on the way to the car and of course the soul-crushing drive home)

hmm... really like that loyal 'expensive seats' following for a top ten ranked 23-4 team on a strong run in the conference... jerks!

I'm in a few of those shots. Nice work Chupa. Didn't know you were going to be there or I would have said hi.

That's a long road trip back home to Manhattan after a 8pm game. Rolled in about 2:40am.

I liked the one mid-free throw. Thanks for uploading.

So I guess @ OSU the black jerseys are out?

Agree on that one, frank was looking very metro last night

The hell is wrong with Frank's left foot?  Why does it look 2 centimeters thick?  Is it me or is foot burried into the hardwood floor as if he's standing in quicksand...?

I think I took this in early in the first half. more to come. Not bad for a little cell.
