The University of Missouri and Eastern Michigan University have agreed to a two-game football series, as announced jointly Tuesday by both schools.  Mizzou will play host to both games in the series, with the first date set for September 10, 2016, while the back end of the two-game set will be played Sept. 26, 2020 at Faurot Field.

Mizzou and Eastern Michigan have met once previously on the gridiron, with the Tigers taking a 44-24 victory in Columbia on Sept. 6, 1997 in what was the season-opener that year for both squads.

The Mizzou Coaching staff is preparing to unveil its latest recruiting signing class this Wed., Feb. 4th, and Mizzou Network will have its comprehensive Signing Day Show live beginning at 8 a.m. (central time) on www.mutigers.com.

The team is beginning winter conditioning drills this week, in preparation for spring football, which will begin with the first practice on March 10th.  Spring will conclude with the annual Black & Gold Game on Saturday, April 18th.  Kickoff time has been set for 4 p.m. for the Black & Gold Game, with more details to follow.
