Blood, but no sweat or tears for Mizzou coach Barry Odom

Barry Odom would love to see Missouri football finish scoring drives. And after last week’s bye, he’s now participating in a drive of his own.

The Tigers’ coach volunteered to open a campus-wide program by donating blood in advance of the annual Homecoming Blood Drive.

The school posted a photograph of the first-year coach Monday morning, at the start of the donation drive.

The school is holding its 31st annual Homecoming Blood Drive from Monday through Thursday. The campaign begins nearly two weeks before the actual homecoming game, which will be October 22 against Middle Tennessee.
