Sean Weatherspoon was the most high-profile player who returned for the 2007 Missouri football team reunion.
The Tigers from that breakthrough squad, who won the program’s first conference division title since 1969, enjoyed dinner together with former coach Gary Pinkel on Friday.
“I told all those guys last night that I don’t know if they understand the impact they had on Mizzou football,” Pinkel said. “... That set the stage for the future.”
The Tigers went on to win four more division championships — two in the Big 12 and two in the SEC — during the next seven seasons.
