COLUMBIA, Mo.- Thursday's final practice before Saturday's Black and Gold Game will not all be about X's and O's. Head Coach Gary Pinkel plans on taking his Tigers through their pre-game routine at Memorial Stadium. The practice will consist of everything from their locker room routine to the way the Tigers will take the field and get into their stretching lines.

Pinkel will use some of Thursday's practice as a walk-through to get ready for Saturday's Black and Gold Game. Kickoff is set for approximately 2:10 p.m. Admission is $3 or three cans of food which go to the Central Missouri Food Bank.
