Mizzou Links for Thursday, July 21
On Day 3 of SEC Media Days in Atlanta, there were some Mizzou related notes and quotes to pass along. The first head coach up on Wednesday was Arkansas’ Sam Pittman, and he says that he’s trying to make the Mizzou-Arkansas game more of a rivalry but the Razorbacks haven’t done much winning lately (he’s not wrong!).
Sam Pittman on Mizzou (he’s running through the schedule): “We’re trying to make it a rivalry game. We hadn’t won the game enough to make it a rivalry but we’re trying to do that.”
— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) July 20, 2022
Pittman on former Mizzou head coach Barry Odom:
Sam Pittman: “Barry Odom is a key, key part of the University of Arkansas’ success, especially because he helps me … I’m a work in progress … helps me with head-coaching responsibilities. One of the most loyal, wonderful people in the country.”
— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) July 20, 2022
And Pittman’s top choice for Arkansas’ three permanent opponents for the future SEC would be Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri — which just seems like a good regional fit.
Sam Pittman makes his choice clear for Arkansas’ three permanent SEC opponents in the future, says playing Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri would be pretty neat.

Sometimes you need to leave space for student-athletes to discover things on their own. They need that space to grow.
If we don’t give space for our people to grow and make mistakes, they aren’t going to grow.
