Missouri and North Carolina in Independence Bowl

Sunday night, the BCS computer was as busy as an elementary school nurse in flu season and while it was doing its calculations, it put together what could be one of the finest Independence Bowls we've seen in many years! The Missouri Tigers will face the North Carolina Tarhills!

Kickoff is 4pm on December 26 at Independence Stadium.  This is the third meeting of these teams, but they've not played since 1976 and the Tigers lead the all-time series 2-0. Missouri is making its third appearance in the I-Bowl, losing 27-14 to Arkansas in 2003 and beating South Carolina, 38-31, in 2005 in the bowl’s 30^th anniversary game. The Tigers are playing in the post season for the sixth-straight year. North Carolina is making its debut in Shreveport and is in a bowl game for the fourth-straight season.  For ticket and any other information, go to IndependenceBowl.org
