Crow is a Missouri native, born in Kennett. She graduated from the University of Missouri in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Education. During her time at Mizzou, Crow sang in a cover band and played at the bar formerly known as Bullwinkle’s (now the Field House). She was also a Tiger hostess, showing Mizzou football recruits and their families around the campus.
The Tigers open against Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3.
Boulevard’s Mizzou Brew
A new beverage will be offered at Memorial Stadium this fall, with the addition of Mizzou Brew by Boulevard Brewing Co. of Kansas City. The beer is meant to celebrate 100 years of Tiger football played at the stadium. The drink is advertised as a crisp lager with a hint of blood orange.
Boulevard Brewing Co., which originally opened in 1989, is no stranger to working with Mizzou Athletics, as the company’s hard seltzer, Quirk, is an official partner of the Tigers. It also released the Mizzou Mix Pack, featuring four unique seltzers in each case, and created Tiger Paw Punch, a mango hard seltzer.
The athletic department is expected to announce several more product partnerships to celebrate the 100th annivesary of Memorial Stadium.
