This T-shirt says more than "Beast Mode." It says this is a tiger skin, and it's going to scare the feathers off that little sparrow across the state line. It says, "We organize a militia to protect our home." It says, who let the Tigers out? And there ain't no one that's gonna put 'em back in. It says to everyone that this game is played in Kansas City, Missouri, and not Kansas City, Kansas. It says, hey Tweety Bird, the big bad tiger is hungry. It says MIZ-ZOU, or something close to that depending upon whom we're playing. It says we are here to claim the war drum for our own, and we're going to beat it all the way back to Columbia. This T-shirt says more than Beast Mode.

It is pretty great...

Except for the part where he’s supposed to say, “It says MIZ-ZOU, or something close to that depending upon whom we’re playing,” which is supposed to be a play on MIZ-F***kU. Instead he just says Miz-zou, with an awkward pause in the middle of the word, which doesn’t make any sense.

Anyway, I still love the campaign. Bought the shirt already and wore it to yesterday’s game!

I could not understand why they showed that spot AFTER the game

I mean….there could not have been more than 5-7 thousand people in the stadium when they played that. I suppose I understand not wanting to play it before the ISU game ended, but the timing of it was totally the preview after the movie credits run which no one knows to stay for.
