I'm looking at a two-hour drive, each way.
Games are way too long, 4+hours, during which I find myself advertised to seemingly 75% of the time.
The alternative is watching on TV at home listening to Mike Kelly broadcast, and if I need to get something done while I'm watching/listening, I can.

Additionally, I can do other things before or after game during which time I'd be driving to/from Columbia.

This will be the 3rd year since 1996 that I haven't had season tickets, but I'm planning on going to Homecoming. I went to the bowl game last year.

All told I've probably been to close to 150 Tiger football games in person over the course of my life.

While I enjoy Mizzou football (and basketball), I have other things I'd like to do in the fall in addition to spending all day on half of my Saturdays.

If you think that makes me a loser...ok.
