So, I am traveling to Columbia tomorrow for the game and as a college student I do my best to save money where ever I can. One thing I like to do when I travel is to CouchSurf. So, yesterday I decided it was about time I sent out requests. While I was sending out a request to basically everyone listed in Columbia, I came across a very interesting profile. One of the Missouri offensive lineman had a profile. So, partially as a joke, I decided to send him a request. Lo and behold, a few hours later I get a response back.
"I must say this is an interesting request. Despite you guys being Nebraska fans, it's totally cool if you want to stay at my place after the game. I live with some other linemen. With my situation, I won't be home until after the game anyway so it works out fine. Let me know if this works for you!"
Of course, I also received 8 or so more people who would allow me to stay with them. I have actually decided to stay with a different person, but I figured you guys might find this interesting. I was given the opportunity to sleep on the enemy's couch. I hope this provides a little bit different of a perspective for those that aren't too big of a fan of Missouri.
BTW, the people I am staying with are MU students and many of the positive responses I received were from MU students. It really makes it hard for me to believe that I have anything to worry about while I'm down there, but we will see.
