SportsBeat KC: In the strangest of times, Mizzou gets back to business of athletics
Through protests and a pandemic, preparation for the 2020-21 sports calendar continues at Missouri. On this episode of the daily SportsBeat KC podcast, Tigers beat writer Souichi Terada joins host Blair Kerkhoff to provide updates on football and sports plans after hearing from coaches, including football’s Eli Drinkwitz, and athletic director Jim Sterk. The tone is optimistic even if Mizzou, like all other schools, can’t make specific plans about fans returning to the stadium just yet.
Also, former football coach Gary Pinkel made the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. What are his chances of becoming a first-ballot hall of famer?
