COLUMBIA, Mo. — After three straight losses in a series that’s become a rivalry in the Southeastern Conference, Missouri coach Barry Odom finally captured the Mayors’ Cup, given to the winner of the Mizzou-South Carolina game each season.
“It’s coming later,” he said, cracking a smile after his team’s 34-14 victory Saturday. “I’m happy for the kids. . . . We’ll find a place for it and hopefully keep it here for a while.”
He made those comments as his team was celebrating with the trophy in the Mizzou locker room, captured on social media by several players in the postgame melee.
