January 12, 2019 The team released a statement, Friday afternoon as a major snow storm has hit Missouri and much of the Midwest.
"Due to weather related travel issues, tomorrow's contest scheduled for 12 p.m. CT/1 p.m. ET is postponed. Both Mizzou and South Carolina are in communication with the Southeastern Conference office on rescheduling and updates will be released when they are available."
KOMU-TV reported a plane landing at the Columbia airport around 3:30 p.m. – where Mizzou was scheuduled to depart, Friday – slid off the runway during its landing. There were no injuries reported to the 80 passengers on that flight. A bus drove out to pickup the passengers from the plane which was stuck.
A passenger on the plane, which was coming from Dallas, tweeted about the experience:
