COLUMBIA, MO. • In less than a week, the Missouri football team will hold its first spring practice under new coach Barry Odom. Starting next Tuesday, the Tigers will practice 14 times before the spring culminates with the Black and Gold Game on April 16.
A few changes to the schedule and media access under Odom: Only seven of the 14 practices will be open to the media. Odom and select coaches and their corresponding position groups will be available for interviews on assigned days. Any full scrimmages that take place during the spring will take place on closed sessions.
