Missouri State

This year, Missouri hosts Missouri State to begin its season. I don’t know how the well the Bears typically play, and I don’t really care. This game is a test of strength. The Missouri State Bear against the Mizzou Tiger.

Many would have us believe that the lion is ruler of the animal kingdom. I’d really have a difficult time predicting the outcome of such a battle, so thankfully, we don’t have to worry about a lion on the Tigers’ schedule this year.

Bears are tough animals. Honestly, I would not want to cross one in the wild. Likewise, I wouldn’t want to cross a tiger in the wild, either.

The bear is found on the Missouri State seal, but the Tiger also holds a special place in Missouri history. This will be a tough match between the bear and the tiger.

While the bear is a brute and a mauler, the tiger is a born predator and killer. The Tigers will hunt down and kill the Bears. Missouri starts the season, 1-0.
