On the day after Thanksgiving in 2016, fans watched as the Missouri Tigers fell behind 24-3 to the Arkansas Razorbacks in the annual Battle Line Rivalry game.
From there, the Tigers scored 24 unanswered points to earn the unexpected 28-24 victory to close out the regular season.
Now, it seems CBS wants to showcase that game again in 2017, as the Tigers and Razorbacks will continue to stake their claim to Black Friday.
According to KansasCity.com, the game will be aired at 1:30 p.m. Central time on Friday, November 24, at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.
Whether this year’s game lives up to last year’s impressive comeback remains to be seen, but it seems as though we can expect the Tigers and Razorbacks to square off on the Friday after Thanksgiving for at least the next couple of years.
