$2,510.63
The projected total donation to the MU Children's Hospital, so far. A few important notes on this number:
-Obviously, this is all based on you guys living up to your promises. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, EVERYONE.
-This is only reflective of pledges pledged in the comments, and not on Twitter or in your own hearts.
-This does not include minimum donations (for example, if you pledged $5 a game with a $50 minimum...I'm only counting the $5 a game for now).
-It includes the following occurrences of prop bets:
4 wins
7 home runs
1 shutout
2 run-rule wins
26 Chelsea Thomas or Kristin Nottelman strikeouts
2 Mizzou walks in the 5th inning of games (damn it, Boom)
19 Chelsea Thomas strikeouts
13 extra base hits
So...yeah, you guys are freakin' awesome. And there's still time to pledge if you haven't!

Outstanding
Go us.
We should set a new goal of $5k. I don’t think we’ll be that far off in the end and I’m certainly interested in bumping my final donation a bit if we’re within a couple hundred bucks if everybody else is.
Excellent, you heard it here first, folks
Shaffe is willing to bump his final donation a few hundred bucks to get us over $5000.
That’s how I’m choosing to read that post.
Rational Mizzou Talk, whether you like us or not.
No matter how carefully you word it, somebody will read it wrong
Such is life in the times we live
Just in case there are some reading this who don't get my sense of humor
I’m well aware that’s not what he said.

No gag can be successful if you give away the punchline
Way to blow it, Andy.
By my calculations,
By the time they win the title, we’ll already be well over $5k.

So....
Tepper, I think you are awesome for starting this. I think you’ve become one of my favorite people on RMN (even though you don’t think I really exist).

So who's going to make the Tremendous Stubble signs this weekend
and make me have to pay out my ace?
Were there any Stubble signs in the crowd this weekend? I didn't see any on the streaming video, but they don't show the crowd much.
We need one behind home plate, with “Donate at rockmnation.com”

Somebody please make this happen
It’s a pretty decent view of the game under the stands there, and the publicity would be awesome.
Here is a really rough idea for a flag.
Unfortunately there is no way I can be there to hold it.

Do you like kids? Do you approve of Tremendous Stubble?
Fits easily. Good pic selection by the way. If it’s not Coach or Chelsea it has to be a darling kid.

Not yet.
But someone needs to inform Rhea Taylor of the charitable implications of honoring the memory of Macho Man Randy Savage.

it's like walking into a Bass Pro Shops or Cabella's
One of the few times that the anticipation of spending money is not a bad thing and is fun. To buy the added bait in hopes of landing a few trophy fish. The kids trophy and the National Title Trophy. One of the few times where it is ok to RockM the boat and make some waves.

Slightly off topic...
If you haven’t read anything about this yet, well, prepared to get a little misty-eyed. J.T. Thomas—you’ve earned a legion of new fans.

Good story. For more examples search the Packers and the Badgers. Rogers and Tolzien are awesome, too.
And Aaron does that gun belt thing.

Was looking on SBNation store and didn't see the official #Tremendous Subble fundraiser shirt or hat yet.
Contest to write the best lines for that? Something off every sale to the MCH?
Black and Gold!
Do you think maybe we could donate 1/4 or so of the money to joplin?
or maybe have a seperate fundraiser for joplin?
It wouldn't be fair to the Children's Hospital to take money intended for them
Not trying to sound cold at all, but you can donate to Red Cross on your own, you know. The links were provided by Bill earlier today.

Falcon05 would've donated 5 times the total
If Coach Anderson hadn’t left, we didn’t hire CFH and if somebody hadn’t pushed him on the playground during recess.

Falcon05 hates cute sick kids.
He never even ate at McDonalds because they support the Ronald McDonald house for families of sick kids.

he didn't eat.
but he did buy up all the happy meals and threw them all in the trash.
