Mizzou Football: A New Tradition and High Hopes
Mizzou fans, mark your calendars-there's a slight shift in the Tigers' schedule. The home opener, initially set for Saturday, Sept. 5, will now kick off on Thursday, Sept. 3, against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
This change continues a growing tradition in Columbia, with head coach Eli Drinkwitz embracing the excitement of Thursday night lights. The Tigers haven't dropped a home opener since the 2020 season, and they're looking to keep that streak alive.
This season, Mizzou's schedule is packed with intriguing matchups. The Tigers will face off against teams like Troy, Florida, Texas, Texas A&M, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. Each game presents its own set of challenges and opportunities for the Tigers to showcase their skills.
Basketball Upset and Football Insights
In basketball news, Mizzou's recent victory over Tennessee has fans buzzing. The Tigers overcame a sluggish start to topple a top-25 team, finishing 73-69.
T.O. Barrett was the standout star, lighting up the court with 28 points on 12-of-17 shooting-a personal best that silenced any doubters.
Switching gears to football, there's plenty of chatter about Mizzou's receiving corps. Some are wondering if this year's group could be the best since 2018.
The quarterback room is brimming with potential, featuring Nick Evers, Matt Zollers, and Austin Simmons. Each brings something unique to the table.
Simmons, in particular, is drawing comparisons to NFL talent with his impressive stats, including a stellar Big Time Throw percentage.
As the season approaches, the buzz around Mizzou's offense is palpable. The key question remains: can the team deliver on its promising potential?
