( may want to check missouri tiger football website to see if this is still a go )

MISSOURI IS SCHEUDLED FOR A BOWL GAME THIS YEAR AND IT COULD BE NEXT WEDNESDAY, THE 30TH AGAINST NO. 15 IOWA….HOWEVER, WE LEARNED TUESDAY, THE HAWKEYES HAVE HAD POSITIVE TESTS OUTSIDE OF THE COACHING STAFF…….THE PLAYERS ARE RETURNING FROM A BREAK AWAY FROM CAMPUS AND FURTHER POSITIVES ARE POSSIBLE.
THE HAWKEYES WILL BE WITHOUT AT LEAST 8 PLAYERS FOR THE MUSIC CITY BOWL, AND MORE POSITIVE TESTS WOULD BOOST UP THAT NUMBER AND INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY WOULD NEED TO LAY OFF FOOTBALL ACTIVITIES (PER BIG 10 RULES.), SO IOWA AND MISSOURI IN THE MUSIC CITY BOWL IN NASHVILLE IS NOT SET IN STONE, BUT AS OF THIS WEEK, IT’S STILL A GO FOR A 3PM KICKOFF ON ESPN NEXT WEDNESDAY……..
