The Reds almost got me to the NFL Preseason this year. That’s a HECK of a feat imo.

We had a great turnout in Palmyra for the Great River Tigers Summer Bash hosted by the local @MizzouAlumni chapter serving the Hannibal-Quincy area. AD Laird Veatch visited with some passionate, loyal Mizzou fans! #MIZ 🐯// #WillToWin
Thought this was cool to share from #Mizzou AD Laird Veatch speaking to a good sized crowd in Palmyra, as some are learning about NIL and paying college athletes in-depth for the first time 💵 @ChrisDuerr “You can resist it or you can embrace it and you can take advantage of it”
#Mizzou Athletic Director Laird Veatch is in Palmyra tonight to connect with the community! “We talk a lot about asking people to come to our games, so we need to come out and see you all here” More from my conversation with the Tigers’ AD coming soon 🐯 @ChrisDuerr
