Football Odds n Ends

I apologize, dear readers, for that is a boring title. However, that’s exactly what the news up top the links is focusing on this morning— borders, podcastin’, crootin’, and draft week...

First up, Coach Drinkwitz and his staff continue their #NewZOUtour, and have made progress at locking down the borders. They’re up to 197 schools now, apparently. Impressive... I DO wish that graphic was a bit bigger, because who the hell can read that?!?

Speaking of Coach Drink, he made an appearance on 101 ESPN’s Stalter & Rivers show Tuesday afternoon, of which Rock M’s own Mr. Brandon Kiley serves as a producer. Do check it out!

In recruiting news...

Travion Ford, HUGE 2021 Mizzou target, according to 247 Sports, might be a Mizzou lean, if you are to believe their Director of Football Recruiting, Steve Wiltfong and recent Rivals’ predictions. I mean, let’s just go with it, shall we?

And finally, in case you needed reminding, the NFL Draft begins on Thursday. Souichi Terada at the KC Star looked at where the Tigers have polled in mock drafts.

Reminder: If you have not caught up on Nate the Great and BK’s draft profiles, now is as good a time as any!

On to the links!
