Aren’t they playing again in 2025 and 2026?

I always enjoy watching that basketball contest as an avid hoops fanatic.

Yep. In 25 it's their opening game. Haven't played since 2011. Gave up a good rival to join SEC.

I think it would be good if they picked that up again. It's not like either one is a powerhouse and threat to the other.

That’s bull$h!t

 

[SpookyAction]

I don't see why Mizzou got veto power over their bowl opponent.

You either take your slot or get bumped to the bottom of the list, or off the list.

That was one of the most heated rivalries.
Those two states Hate each other……..

Would be a good match up, imo

Agree. Both teams are 6-6. What is Missouri’s problem here? Are they protesting something again on that date?

As bad as I hate to and since both can't lose I guess I'll pull for Clemson over Ohio State

You should probably give anything from Brett McMurphy a 6 hour cool down period before believing it.

Sounds like Butch Jones and Oklahoma

 

[JFBanicki]

Make them and OSU play in a mid December bowl for trying to cry their way out of the bowl games they should be in

A&M chose "off the list" last season and angered the football gods this season. Karma is a b!tch Missouri

Mizzou fans are saying it's not Kansas they don't want to play, it's that Kansas would likely be the opponent in the Liberty Bowl, and the Liberty Bowl is happening the same time Mizzou is playing Kentucky in basketball. They want to avoid playing at the same time. Last year they had that happen when they played in the Armed Forces Bowl at the same time Mizzou played Illinois in basketball.

Can the SEC force them to play if it pays more?
Bowl games are priority, but I guess Mizzou is not a football school.

The other word seems to be that they’d really like the SEC’s Las Vegas Bowl spot, as they’re currently within range for it.

I’d probably prefer that location over Memphis, too, to be honest.

Mizzou basketball is garbage

Missouri should feel lucky that anyone would want their crappy team to grace their bowl game. Take what you get Missou.
