Bud’s Classic BBQ in downtown Columbia is expected to be packed for tonight’s popular “Tiger Talk” radio show, ahead of Saturday morning’s Top 25 showdown between Mizzou and LSU.

The 21st ranked Missouri Tigers beat Vanderbilt 38-21 last Saturday in Nashville, behind a great performance on both sides of the ball. The offensive line protected Tiger quarterback Brady Cook, who threw for 395 yards and four touchdowns, both career highs.

Tiger wide receivers Theo Weese and Luther Burden III had big afternoons as well. Burden caught 11 passes for 140 yards and two scores, while Wease had ten catches for 118 yards and a touchdown.

#21 Mizzou is now 5-0 and will battle #23 LSU Saturday morning. Brian Kelly’s Tigers are 3-2, with losses to Florida State and to Ole Miss. They’re led by standout quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has thrown for more than 1,700 yards and 16 touchdowns. Saturday morning’s kickoff is set for 11:01 am at Faurot Field. The game will be televised live on ESPN, with Bob Wischusen, Robert Griffin III and Kris Budden calling the action from Faurot.

Mizzou football coach Eliah Drinkwitz, Tiger wide receivers coach Jacob Peeler and Wease will join “Tiger Talk” host Mike Kelly tonight at 7 on the Central Bank Tiger Network from Learfield. You can watch the show live in-person or catch is on Zimmer stations KTGR (FM 105.1 and AM 1580).
