This is one of my favorite times of the year----the long awaited March Madness!!
THIS year, our wonderful MISSOURI Tigers have a spot in The Big Dance!
We're getting everything in place to cheer our boys on to victory!
First, I have the wonderful and lucky MISSOURI shirt (it's my husband's, but he shares it with me on game days!)
THEN I have my lucky, and oh so vintage, Tiger Hat!!! It's seen a lot of use over the years!
Then I have the lucky Tiger Plastic Refillable Mug!!! Lots of great drinks have been enjoyed in this item! Note the area where the paint has worn away---ah, yes, a very lucky mug, indeed!
Here I am---on my front porch.
I've been prancing back and forth out here all morning---waving and cheering and clapping---gotta get the old "fan juices" flowing.
Bet you're wondering how THE STONE RABBIT is celebrating the Tigers being in the NCAA Tournament, aren't ya?
Well, that smart rabbit found a - - - - - -
LUCKY MIZZOU COOKIE!!!!
And he won't share!!!
GO MIZZOU!!!

Good luck to your Tigers. We Razorbacks like Mike Anderson. He's one of ours.

I live in Birmingham, Alabama, now, but I am originally from Camden, Arkansas. My husband is from Newport. We have a son who lives in Little Rock. All of us are Arkansas grads. I do have a nephew who graduated from Mizzou.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Cute post! My Hoosiers never had a chance, so I guess I have to root for Purdue! :)

I'm letting my husband be the fan this March; I'll keep reading.

Love the Mizzou cookie! Hubby is a dyed in the wool (is there any other kind) Sooner, so he's all into the bball, too. I play along, filling out my brackets in complete and utter ignorance!

Well, good luck to you. I don't watch basketball anymore. The Sooners did me in back in a nail biter in 1988. Don't watch any more. Thought I was going to have a stroke.

Hi Dana,
Go Tigers! It's nice to know another Mizzou fan. I sat and cheered today, will again on Sunday, and dare I say beyond that! I can't wait to go rub it in to Jeff at FFL tomorrow.
