The Missouri Tigers have been slowly putting together their 2020-21 nonconference schedule, but many fans have been wondering if the annual Braggin’ Rights game against Illinois would be back on the slate of games.

On Wednesday, fans of the game got good news, as the teams agreed to a date for the rivalry, which is normally played in St. Louis.

But, the home team has yet to be decided. Mizzou announced that there would be a coin flip on Thursday night to decide which team will host, since the game won’t be played in St. Louis:

That’ll be an interesting way to decide the home team. We’ll see who gets to host before the rivalry hopefully goes back to St. Louis next season.
