    Smith to serve as guest on Tiger Talk

    Columbia, Mo. -- Missouri Head Coach Brian Smith will sit down and talk wrestling with the Voice of the Tigers, Mike Kelly, beginning around 7:20 p.m. (CT) on Monday, Sept. 24. The show, which airs lives at the SportsZone located in the Holiday Inn Executive Center, can be heard on most of the Tiger Network affiliates. Fans are encouraged to attend the live show, which begins at 7:08 p.m. (CT). Other guests on Monday's show include Missouri Director of Athletics Mike Alden, Associate Athletic Director for Administration Mark Alnutt and another fall sport coach to be determined.

    Smith's nationally ranked Tiger program finished the 2006-07 season with a third place showing at the 77th annual Division I Wrestling Championships in Auburn Hills, Mich. Highlights of the three-day event included the crowning three Tiger All-Americans, recent graduates Ben Askren at 174 pounds, and Matt Pell at 165 pounds along with current senior Tyler McCormick at 133 pounds. Askren became Missouri's first four-time wrestling All-American and two-time National Champion in program history and now serves as the Tiger's volunteer assistant coach.

    Seven members of Missouri's 2007 Big 12 runner up team return for the upcoming campaign including Big 12 Champions junior Raymond Jordan (194) and sophomore Maxwell Askren (197).

    The Tiger wrestling season will begin Nov. 9 in Lawrenceville, N.J. as Missouri faces off with Rider.
