SPRINGFIELD, Mo–Lets talk Mizzou Tiger athletics. The annual 'Zou to you tour swung through Springfield Thursday afternoon. Football coach Eli Drinkwitz, assistant basketball coach Dicky Nutt and new women's basketball coach Kellie Harper met with Mizzou fans at lunch time. It was Harper's first trip to Springfield since she got the Mizzou job back in mid-March. She was the Lady Bears coach for six seasons and led Missouri State to two NCAA tournaments. Eli Drinkwitz' football team was 10-3 last season and won the Music City Bowl. Both coaches say it's important to get out in the Show-Me State and meet the fans. 'We're appreciative of the fans. They drive on Saturdays from a long way away to come watch us play. For us to be able to make that trip easy for them to come to celebrate their passion is exciting,' said Drinkwitz. 'It's always good to touch base with your fan base. They need to hear you. They need to see you. We do not take for granted. When they're in the stands it matters and it makes a difference. It does and we don't take that for granted. This is our way of getting out and saying hello to our fans,' said Harper. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
