Hello everyone and welcome to Tigers, Tailgates and Friends. I'm your host
Brian Garner and I'm retired after 40 years in rehab medicine. I'm a retired
baseball coach and a very passionate Mizzou football and softball fan. I also
for the last three years have been a play-by-play voice for live stream STL, a
streaming service that telecasts high school and junior college sports over
the Internet in the St. Louis metropolitan area. I've been a Tiger fan
since 2007 thanks in large part to Chase Daniel and Gary Pinkle. I haven't missed
a home game since purchasing season tickets in 2008 and every season I
traveled to several road games on the schedule. In 2019 I won a national
championship for Mizzou when I was voted the college football fan of the year in
an Instagram nationwide voting contest. What I hope to do with this weekly
podcast is entertain and inform you with behind-the-scenes information about
Mizzou sports that I'm also passionate about. Also I'll share ideas and
information for planning tailgates for you to enjoy especially if you're new to
tailgating. This will also include parking, ticketing information, I'll also
from time to time share recipes with you that my guests have enjoyed over the
years. All of this in the hopes of making your tailgate as smooth and fun as
possible. I'll also share stories of Mizzou experiences like tailgating in
Wyoming and tailgating in Memphis for the Liberty Bowl in a monsoon with Rick's
story and friends. To autograph moments on my artificial leg to the wonderful
friends that I've made over the years. Being a rookie podcaster as I get my feet
wet I will bring you interviews from around the Mizzou sports spectrum from
people you might not ordinarily hear from and learn why their participation in
the athletic department is so important. As we travel this road together I
welcome you to interact with Tigers tailgates and friends by offering up
feedback opinions and questions about episodes by contacting the podcast and
email be garner 2422 at ATT.net. We will also delve into the subject of
friends, what they mean to us, how they affect our lives and how special they
are and how they tie into Mizzou sports. I'll also introduce you to the non-
revenue sports and I think you might be surprised at some of the things you
learn. All of the subjects I bring to you will come with a pride passion and
loyalty I have for this athletic department. I'll always keep it fresh
hopefully make you smile provoke some thought and maybe get you to say hey I
didn't know that this will be a weekly podcast and on occasion if needed we could
do a bonus episode just in case we might come up with some urgent information
that you might need. I've attended countless other sports at Mizzou and
will share special moments from around the spectrum. Lastly a very special thank
you to you listeners. I appreciate the time you've taken to share your time and
day with me. Please share Tigers tailgates and friends with your friends and I
encourage all of you to get involved by contacting me by email at be garner 2422
at att.net. Come back next time when my topic will be parking, ticketing, tickets
and tailgating at the zoo. Till next time M-I-Z everybody!
