Late last night you may have heard rumors that the Boombafoot (MSA’s own bigfoot) has returned to campus. I’m here to set the record straight: Who is Boombafoot and was he really spotted at MSA?
Who is Boombafoot?
Boombafoot is a Sasquatch who lives on Mizzou’s campus. He stands about 6’ (but he’ll tell you he’s 6’2”), has a very distinctive stride when walking, and can be heard calling out to scholars, warning them he’s near. He wakes up from his hibernation when he senses large quantities of LLAMA occurring at MSA. Boombafoot is notorious for terrorizing teens participating in various forms of PDA.
Was he really spotted at MSA last night?
Well, I can’t say for certain. It’s up to you all to decide for yourselves. To help you form your opinions, I’ve collected a video of the supposed sighting, as well as an eyewitness account from RA Della Rodenbaugh. According to Rodenbaugh, “We saw ‘em alright. I was just havin’ a leisurely stroll in Peace Park and I saw ‘em with my own two eyes.” When asked if Boombafoot was exhibiting any strange behaviors, she added, “Well, he appeared to be in some kind of distress, ran across the bridge, and jumped right on into the creek. I ain’t seen ‘em since.”
Here is the video captured by Rodenbaugh last night:
Why has he returned?
My theory is that Boombafoot has returned due to severe levels of LLAMA at MSA this year. We all know that scholars have been a little too close to each other. The frequency and severity of these occurrences appears to be agitating Boombafoot. So please, for the sake of yourself and your fellow scholars, dial down the LLAMA.
What do YOU think?
Is this really Boombafoot or an elaborate prank? If you favor the latter, just who do you think could be behind the Boombafoot: Scholar, RA, or faculty? Let us know by taking the poll below:
