Missouri to play SEMO in 2008
An open date on Missouri’s 2008 football schedule is close to being filled by an in-state opponent.
Southeast Missouri State Athletic Director Don Kaverman told the Southeast Missourian on Wednesday that the Redhawks and Tigers have agreed to play at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 6, 2008. SEMO is a Division I-AA program
Missouri officials have yet to confirm the agreement, though a team spokesman said the two schools had been in negotiations. Missouri’s Web site lists an open date for that weekend, as well as open dates for Sept. 20 and 27. Missouri has previously announced 2008 nonconference games against Illinois and Nevada.
Since the NCAA separated Division I into two classes in 1978, Missouri is 6-0 against I-AA opponents, including 3-0 under Gary Pinkel. In those games, the Tigers outscored Southwest Texas (2001), Eastern Illinois (2003) and Murray State (2006) 124-13. Missouri plays host to I-AA Illinois State this year on Sept. 22.
