So it looks like Barry Odom might be coaching for his job next week. The now annual Battle Line trophy game carries a lot more weight than we figured it would six weeks ago, but here we are.
It’s unfortunate how this has played out, in a nearly excruciating way. Missouri fans were mostly hopeful coming into the season. The Tigers were picked 3rd in the SEC East and at the time it felt like the season held the possibility of something better. A consistent defense, coupled with a (hopefully) more balanced offense could lead the Tigers to an upset, maybe two, and they’d be in business.
