Mizzou athletic director Laird Veatch has written a letter to fans that the school is asking the Southeastern Conference (SEC) for a formal review of the officiating that happened during Saturday’s 34-20 loss to Texas at sold-out Faurot field in Columbia.

That word from the Associated Press (AP). Mizzou fans were upset over multiple calls during the game, and Missouri Lieutenant Governor Dave Wasinger, a former UM curator, has described Saturday’s officiating as “atrocious.”

Eliah Drinkwitz’s 6-3 Tigers travel to Athens to face #1 Georgia Saturday afternoon at Dooley field. Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs are 8-1 and 6-1 in the SEC.

Coach Drinkwitz and Mizzou broadcaster Mike Kelly will preview the game Tuesday evening on “Tiger Talk”, which airs live from Harpo’s in downtown Columbia at 7 on Zimmer’s KTGR (FM 105.1 and 100.5 and AM 1580).
