Episode Details

Conferences playing college football in the fall will have started by Sept. 12, except for the SEC.

The nation’s top football conference is waiting until Sept. 26 to kick off. That means more time for Missouri to get work under new head coach Eli Drinkwitz. What can the Tigers get done in the next three weeks? Polish up the offense, for starters.

Mizzou beat writer Souichi Terada talks Tigers on this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast, with host Blair Kerkhoff.

After a break, you’ll hear from Shaun Goodwin, who covers Sporting KC for The Star. The club is coming off a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas, but the game will likely be remembered for the lineup changes made, and the young midfielders played by coach Peter Vermes.
