Former Mizzou offensive coordinator Josh Heupel returns to Mizzou today at the helm of the Tennessee Volunteers, but many find it hard to get too hyped for an 11:00 start. Last week found me at a brewery watching the game on my phone, propped up on AlaWife’s purse. This week, I’m back home so I can more easily work my schedule around the game. So far this year, Mizzou has won the weekends I’m home and lost the weekends I traveled, so this is a positive sign for the superstitious among you.
Many of my compatriots veer away from beer for early starts, but for me, 11:00 is when I start thinking about lunch, and a beer with lunch sounds good to me.
