The year is 2038....Its opening day at Faurot Field, and the stadium is filled to its 75,422 capacity. All in black and gold. All waving mizzou flags. They cheer for their Tigers, celebrating the back to back national championships, and 3 out of the last 8 national championships. They are a dynasty. The media speculates "is this the greatest team ever?" Mizzou, synonomous with "college football", is the envy of every other program in America.
The Four Horseman, Jalani Williams, Martez Manuel, CJ Boone and of course Maurice Massey, are in attendance. Barry has always credited them with being the Spark that turned around Missouri’s fortune. Though Missouri never actually won a national title while they were there, the 3 SEC championships they won put Mizzou squarely back in the mix for the national title hunt from their perch on top of the SEC.
Massey, being Missouri's first Heisman Trophy winner and first #1 pick was greeted with roar, many still wearing his retired jersey. Manuel, a two-time NFL MVP and first ballot Hall of Famer raised his hand to the crowd, and nearly blinded all from the shine of his 3 super bowl rings. Boone and Williams recently retired from the NFL as annual pro-bowlers and defining Missouri's new reputation as "Wide Reciever U".
Just beside the four horseman, are two former Tiger walk-ons: James Odom and Garyt Odom. James is now an assistant coach at Wake Forest. Garyt, a successful attorney in St. Louis. They stand there, in awe. Tears flowing from their face as they think back to all the practices, hours in the weight room, and tough victories over SEC foes. They are all champions. It has all come to this. This one moment. They know this is what they worked for. They know what it feels like to achieve your dream.
Then...an announcement is made, and a banner is dropped...
The South Zone will be renamed...the Barry Odom Zone. Suddenly, 75,422 chant "Barry! Barry!!" at the top of their lungs, and thank God that they were patient with Barry. He asked for patience. He delivered.
