Emanuel Hall has begun preparing for a looming test. During Missouri’s football training camp, the senior wide receiver has approached random teammates and asked them where they are from, just in case he one day needs to share this information.
Eventually, Hall figures, Mizzou coach Barry Odom will call on him to participate in what has become a post-practice ritual for the Tigers. The wide receiver and another teammate will stand in front of the Missouri team, and they will each have to share what they know about the other person — beyond what position they play.
“That’s a scary sight,” said Hall, who still has more research to do.
