The Missouri Tigers will kick off their season on Thursday night against the Murray State Racers at Faurot Field. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has been urging the fan base to help ensure a sellout crowd for the season opener, emphasizing the importance of a strong start for the team. The Missouri athletic department announced on Tuesday that all tickets for the game have been sold out, extending the sellout streak to six games dating back to 2023.
Drinkwitz has expressed his belief that a sellout crowd for the first game signifies the team’s success and fan base support. With a record of 6-1 at home in 2023, Drinkwitz has high expectations for the Tigers in the upcoming season. Missouri opens the season as a 46.5-point favorite and will play four consecutive home games to start the year, providing an opportunity to extend the sellout streak to 10 games.
The Tiger faithful rose to the occasion, ensuring a full house for the season opener and setting the stage for a successful start to the season. With the team’s recent success and the strong support from fans, the Tigers are poised to continue their winning ways and build on their strong foundation. Missouri’s season opener promises to be a thrilling event for fans and players alike, as they look to kick off the year with a victory.
