Missouri will make a touching tribute to the late Mike Leach during Friday night’s Gasparilla Bowl against Wake Forest.
Leach, nicknamed “The Pirate,” died last Tuesday after suffering heart-related complications. He was 61.
The Tigers will memorialize Leach during Friday’s game with a fitting sticker, featuring a pirate-themed cowbell, on the back of their yellow and black helmets. The cowbell will replace the “I” in the “MIKE” sticker, which will be proudly displayed on Missouri’s headwear.
