A New Rivalry Begins

Now that Missouri and Kansas aren't in the same conference, and Kansas won't put Missouri on their schedule,  Mizzou needed a new rival.  The SEC has made Arkansas our rival.  I thought getting away from the Kansas rivalry would take away my family rooting for the opposition.  But, now Hannah is at Arkansas and the sports rivalry has switched to the other side of the family. 

Dana, Hannah and Sarah came up the night of Thanksgiving to spend the weekend and for Hannah and Dana to attend the Missouri v Arkansas game on Friday.  Sarah recently had surgery on her knee and was still on crutches so she and Ella stayed home for the day.  Ella isn't a big fan of long football Saturdays so she was happy to stay home with Sarah.  They watched movies, hung out and Sarah even taught her to crochet.  

The rest of us headed to tailgate then to the big game.  The stadium was full and it felt a bit like a rivalry atmosphere.  Not quite to the Kansas stage yet, but I think it will get there.  Arkansas got off to a great start and Hannah was giving Sam some trouble.  Luckily in the end Mizzou came back and Sam could pass all the trash talk back to Hannah.  It was a fun game and meant Mizzou was the back to back SEC East Champion.  

The students all rushed the field after we won to celebrate being SEC East Champions!
