Episode 39 • The Cowboys are coming, and it could get nasty. The weather, that is.

Heavy rainfall is expected when the Missouri football team hosts Wyoming on Saturday as the Tigers look to improve to 2-0 for the first time in head coach Barry Odom's career.

In this edition of the Eye on the Tigers podcast, Mizzou beat writer Dave Matter and sports columnist Ben Frederickson welcome award-winning Wyoming beat writer Robert Gagliardi of WyoSportsNet.com to preview all things Pokes.

It's a reunion of sorts for Gagliardi and Frederickson, who once covered the Cowboys together during former Mizzou offensive coordinator Dave Christensen's days as UW head coach.

After Frederickson and Matter break down Mizzou's season-opening win against UT-Martin, the three preview Craig Bohl's Cowboys (1-1) and why they will be motivated after a loss to Washington State. The good news for Mizzou is running back Nico Evans is doubtful for the game. The bad news is the weather could play in Wyoming's favor.
