Let the Conference Play Begin!

The Tigers are on a roll!  Pre-season..err..non-conference play has proven to be tremendously successful for the Tigers, as they've gone 4-0 thanks to the likes of Blaine Gabbert and TJ Moe. Mizzou barreled over McNeese State (50-6) and, most recently, Miami of Ohio (51-13) earning them the ranking of 14th in the nation for their stellar Points Against. They are also ranked 22nd in the country for their passing yardage (thanks to that cannon Gabbert calls his right arm). So, why they're only ranked 23rd in the USA Today poll-- and are not even on the AP's radar--is beyond us! 

Now it's time to put the meat grinder to the Colorado Buffaloes!  Join the Boston 'Zou for our next watch party on October 9! Details below.

As always, our commitment to serving the Boston community remains. We are asking guests to bring at least 2 non-perishable food items to benefit the Greater Boston Food Bank. Thanks to the generosity of our fellow Tiger alumni, we collected 20 pounds of food at the Mizzou / Illinois season-opener!

See you there!

Arch Rivalry Wrap-Up

any thanks to all our fellow Tigers and guests who joined us at Brighton Beer Garden on Saturday for a big Mizzou win in the Arch Rivalry season opener against Illinois. We had a bit of a shaky start, as our original venue (Union St. in Newton) did not have the game televised as they'd previously confirmed. But, in true Mizzou fashion and not to be defeated, we were warmly welcomed by the Brighton Beer Garden and their fantastic wait staff & delicious menu.  (For those of you who joined us and have a Delta Skymiles Dining account, you may be pleasantly surprised to see that you earned miles at the event if you happened to use your registered credit/debit card!)

The fantastic season-opener turnout yielded over 25 attendees to witness the Tigers rally in the second half, scoring 20 points, to top the Illini 23-13. Our generous alumni and friends also donated twenty pounds worth of food (no packaging included in weight), benefitting the Greater Boston Food Bank!

Check out a couple of photos, below:






Stay tuned for upcoming event information for our political media coverage talk and other family-friendly activities!

Football is Back!

It has been a hot and busy summer! We are excited that fall will soon be upon us (despite the still very summery temps) and that means...you guessed it...football is back!  Now, we're very excited as we have a number of new things on deck for this upcoming year (inclulding non-sports-related events, such as an upcoming political media coverage talk by a local news anchor, and Mizzou alum--details to come).  But first, FOOTBALL!
