Over 200 fans of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Missouri attended the 24th annual Countdown to Kickoff, presented by Columbia Safety and Supply. More than 50 items were available for purchase in the silent auction with another 10 or so for the live auction, resulting in over $130,000 raised. The highlights of the evening were introductions by Athletic Director Laird Veatch, the attendance of Coach Gary Pinkel and the interview of Coach Eli Drinkwitz by Ben Arnet.
