| Publisher Description: Do you bleed black and gold? Do your palms sweat when you enter Faurot Field, in anticipation of another Missouri football victory? Are your children named Chase, Norm, Gary or Mike? When you hear the term "Antlers," do you think of the craziest basketball fans in the country, rather than a deer grazing in a cornfield? Does the chant "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk" make you head for the medicine cabinet to get some antacid for an upset stomach? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, For Tigers Fans Only, is a must-read and sure fire way to keep you occupied when the Tigers are taking a break. It's the ultimate fan book, because it's written by the fans. "The fans at Missouri are so special," legendary Mizzou quarterback Chase Daniel said. "They have always been there for me, and I always wanted to be there for them. They made my time at Missouri something I will never forget." From the story of Independence residents Travis and Kristin Scott naming their son after Chase Daniel and having the quarterback hold the baby to the tale of Frank Wrisinger who passed away from Parkinson's disease and was buried in his favorite black and gold gear- its all here in For Tigers Fans Only. This is a book you will cherish and who knows, you might even find a story or vignette about your favorite Missouri sports moment in the book. |
