Kansas City, MO – When the Cotton Bowl kicks off in Dallas on January 1 between Missouri and Arkansas, the Tigers will be hoping for a better outcome than their last trip to Texas.

MU will be playing their first game since they lost to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship in San Antonio earlier in December. Though the Tigers have accomplished much in a memorable season, two close friends on the team don't figure to be satisfied unless MU wins its last game. KCUR's Greg Echlin explains.
