Howdy, welcome into the Auburn podcast.

I'm your host, Painter Sharpless.

Hope you're having a tremendous day.

Just want to shout out to you all, the Auburn faithful.

Many of you say the Auburn family, and that is evident in the rallying support,

which has been tremendous around Rod and Paula Bramlett and their children.

That go fund me well over $200,000 at this point.

And certainly appreciate hearing all of the kind words that many of you have had in regards to

Rod and what he meant to Auburn. Unfortunately, Zach is under the weather a special

edition of the Auburn podcast. We've been bringing this to you over the last week or so. If you'll

recall, Tyson Aldermost recently joined us. He is with the athletic

and talked about the Oregon Ducks, of course, Auburn's opener this season in Dallas. Today we

talk with Bill Pollock, who covers Missouri. And while they're not on the schedule, it's an

intriguing team in an east that really for me is hard to gauge because there's a lot about this Missouri

team that I like. They're trending in the right direction over the past few seasons. Things

got off to a rough start as we talk about with Bill. And then you start to see some light at

the end of the tunnel. They've added a few wins each year over the last couple seasons, and they got Kelly Bryant, the grad transfer quarterback. Many of you are very familiar

with out of Clemson, of course, Auburn Jarrett Stidham facing off against Kelly Bryant

at Clemson in 2017. And many folks, I think some Auburn insiders thought Kelly Bryant was

heading to Auburn at one point.

Instead, he chose the Tigers of Missouri.

So we'll talk to Bill about what is in store for Barry Odom, Kelly Bryant, and company in the 2019 season.
