Mizzou-Nebraska Football Game Picked By ESPN

Tigers, Huskers to Kickoff at 8 p.m. In Lincoln on Oct. 4th

Sept. 22, 2008

DALLAS - The University of Missouri football game at Nebraska on Oct. 4th has been chosen for a national cable telecast on ESPN, and will kickoff at 8 p.m. (central), as announced today by the Big 12 Conference.

The game will mark Mizzou's second appearance on ESPN already this season, adding to the season-opening 52-42 win over 20th-ranked Illinois on Aug. 30th, that was shown by the network.

The Big 12 is now operating on its 12-day advance notification process for all future weekends, minus select games that were chosen prior to the beginning of the season (i.e. Mizzou/Kansas on Nov. 29th has already been selected to be televised on FSN at either 11:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m.). What this policy means, is that two Mondays prior to each weekend, the league TV partners (ESPN/ABC, FSN, Versus) will make their selections known. On a couple of instances, the TV partners might opt for a six-day advance notification window, meaning the picks might not be made until the Sunday prior to the game.

Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to mutigers.com for continuous updates on television selections throughout the season.

Football Gets Rare Work Outside

04/17/2009 - Football

Two sessions of one-on-one routes between the WRs/DBs and some non-contact inside run followed the initial position drills. Today's practice focused more on the cerebral aspect of the game, such as picking up one's assignment and running through the whistle. There weren't any huge revelations from today's practice, as it was primarily non-contact. Practiced ended with a brief seven-on-seven session between the first team offense and defense.
