Missouri made an addition to the signage on its western wall of champions ahead of Saturday’s game against Troy, one that was 66 years in the making.
To the left of the listings of conference championships now hangs a section for national champions, listing the 1960 team all by itself. Missouri celebrated the team in a ceremony during halftime of Saturday’s game against Troy.
