COLUMBIA, Mo. — The scenes inside Kentucky’s and Missouri’s football facilities contrasted starkly at the beginning of this week.
In Lexington, players printed about 30 copies of a former teammate’s photo in his new colors. In Columbia, Tigers punter Grant McKinniss started receiving Snapchats from his old Kentucky friends. When he opened them, he saw his own smiling face. The Wildcats had taped the same picture of McKinniss wearing his Mizzou polo on walls, windows, weight machines and every other place imaginable in the facility.
“The guys just thought it was funny to put his picture around everywhere,” Kentucky punter Max Duffy said.
