Columbia, Mo. - The University of Missouri's football game on Nov. 15th against Texas A&M has been selected for an 11:30 a.m. kickoff and will be televised regionally on Fox Sports Net, as announced this morning by the Big 12 Conference.

The A&M game will mark the sixth televised game for Mizzou this season. Mizzou opened the 2003 season on ABC against Illinois (Aug. 30), and followed with appearances on Fox at Kansas (Sept. 27), on TBS against Nebraska (Oct. 11) and again on Fox at Oklahoma (Oct. 18) and at home against Texas Tech (Oct. 25).

MU is now guaranteed a minimum of seven TV games this season, as the Nov. 29th regular-season finale against Iowa State is already set for an ABC telecast at Noon.

The seven TV appearances has far surpassed the four appearances MU made last season during 2002, when MU was shown twice each on ABC and Fox. In only one other season has MU made as many TV appearances as seven: 1984 (seven appearances).

Tickets remain available for the A&M game, as well as the remaining home contest against Iowa State, and can be purchased by calling 1-800-CAT-PAWS (884-PAWS locally) or online by visiting www.mutigers.com.
