Season stats as of Nov. 1 from AP, ESPN and official team pages.

What to watch for

• Roberts against the Texas front. Can Texas slow a 1,000-yard back?
• Manning on the road. It’s an early kickoff in a loud stadium.
• A close line. Texas opened by only 3.5.

Watch-party menu

• Noon ET brunch: breakfast tacos for Texas fans.
• Mizzou side: Kansas City-style burnt ends or toasted ravioli, a St. Louis favorite.
• Drinks: coffee and orange juice for the early start.

Hosting a watch party? A slow cooker keeps the main dish warm all game, and party platters make serving easy. Keep drinks cold in a cooler so nobody misses a play. Hang a Missouri Tigers flag or an Texas Longhorns flag for the house divided, and a soundbar helps you hear the crowd.

Part 2: Traveling to the Game

Gates and entry

Where to eat and stay

Weather

Mid-Missouri November mornings can be chilly, so bring layers. Check the National Weather Service forecast the day before.

Rules can change. Check the official athletics site during game week.

What to pack

Driving in? A phone mount and a car charger keep the directions running, and car games for kids help on a long drive. Flying in? A neck pillow helps on the flight, and a packable rain poncho fits in a pocket.

At the stadium: Pack a clear stadium bag that fits the 12 x 6 x 12 limit. Bring a seat cushion for the bleachers and a portable power bank so your phone ticket doesn’t die. It gets cold, so pack hand warmers and a stadium blanket.

Tailgating: Set up a 10×10 canopy (most lots cap tents at that size), some folding chairs and a cornhole set. Where the rules allow it, a portable propane grill takes care of lunch. Rep your team with Missouri Tigers gear or Texas Longhorns gear.
