Eli Drinkwitz went to great heights Friday to respond to a report about Mizzou’s postseason preferences.

College football insider Brett McMurphy reported Friday that Missouri did not want to play Kansas in the Liberty Bowl:

Missouri didn’t want to play Kansas, so the matchup will not happen, industry sources told Action Network. The Jayhawks, who are making their first bowl appearance since 2008, were not opposed to playing the Tigers in a bowl, sources said. Both teams are 6-6.

Schools provide their bowl preferences and the conferences, bowls and schools usually come to an agreement whenever possible. It’s not unusual for schools to request not playing certain opponents in the postseason, sources said.

Drinkwitz had a strong response to the report. The third-year MU head coach tweeted an aerial shot of the Liberty Bowl with the caption, “Ain’t scared to play here- there- or anywhere #MIZ.”

The Liberty Bowl is one of 3 games that matches up SEC and Big 12 teams. We’ll find out Sunday if the Border War will be resumed in Memphis.
