Mizzou's Greatest, #11-10: Don Faurot and a famous picture

We're finally in a place where we can finish the Greatest countdown. But first, as a lead-in, let's #evergreen the top 10 again. First up: the stadium's namesake.

Don Faurot was a three-sport athlete at Missouri from 1922-24. He became the Tigers' head coach and athletic director in 1935, he retired as coach in 1956, and he retired as athletic director in 1967. He stayed in and around his program for the nearly three decades that followed until his death, at age 93, in 1995. His involvement with Mizzou spanned nearly seven decades, at too many different levels to comprehend.
