Columbia, Mo. - If you've ever wondered what it's like to be married to the game of football, Monday, Aug. 27th is your chance to find out, as the University of Missouri Athletic Department will hold "Missouri Football X's and O's," a women's football clinic to be hosted by the wives of the Tiger Football coaching staff.

The event will take place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the Tiger Lounge level of the Memorial Stadium Press Box facility. An evening of fun and football will be in store for participants, who will get to learn the ins and outs of what is happening in the high-pressure world of big-time college football, both on and off the field. Hors d'oeuvres, beverages, and door prizes will be available throughout the evening.

Individual tickets are now available for $30, with groups of four going for $100. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Tiger Send-a-Kid Program, which provides tickets to underprivileged children. Tickets are available in advance by contacting Brenda Baker at (573) 884-0742, and will be available at the door, as well.
