I hope you\u2019ll join me in cheering for our Tigers as they take on the Coyotes at Faurot Field. We\u2019re thrilled that SEC Nation will also be at Memorial Stadium to highlight our incredible student-athletes and community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding to the excitement, the first game means the return of Black &amp; Gold Fridays. Each Friday during football season, Mizzou fans show their support by wearing their favorite Tiger gear. This Friday is also annual College Colors Day \u2013 another excellent reason to represent MU with pride.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a great coach, talented student-athletes, a visionary athletic director and a strong fan base. Those are the elements we need to build a championship culture and compete at the highest level. Our Tigers are ready to rise to the occasion and shock the nation all season long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Mun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mizzou Football is almost here, and I can\u2019t wait!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8837\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
