The Tennessee Vols and the Missouri Tigers won't play again until 2025, but I'm betting that UT head coach Josh Heupel is already counting down the days thanks to Eli Drinkwitz's comments during their post-game handshake this past weekend. 

Drinkwitz shook Heupel's hand while saying "we stand on business, Josh" before quickly turning to walk away. 

Here's the video of the exchange. 

I have no clue what Drinkwitz meant by that phrase — other than it was his team's mantra leading up to their game against the Vols — but I guess when you win by 29 points you can say whatever you want. 

A year ago, Heupel ruffled some feathers in Missouri by running up the score in Tennessee's 66-24 win against the Tigers. This year, Missouri returned the favor and gave the Vols plenty of motivation for the next matchup between these two teams. 

Unfortunately for the Vols, that matchup won't happen until 2025 at the earliest because of the SEC's new scheduling format that starts next season. But you can bet there will be some fireworks for that game. Make sure to have the popcorn ready.
