All were on Johnathon Johnson’s mind when he first found out that Missouri would play Oklahoma State in the Liberty Bowl on New Year’s Eve in Memphis, Tenn.
When he called his mom, Gwen Johnson, all he could hear was screaming through the phone. Johnson took that to mean she was excited the family didn’t have to travel.
Johnson grew up in Memphis and went to Melrose High School in the southeast part of the city. He can’t wait to take his teammates to all of his favorite restaurants and hot spots in his hometown when the Tigers arrive in Memphis on Dec.
