Mizzou soccer shows promise in 1-0 loss to #3 Vanderbilt

The soul group the Commodores once declared they were “easy like Sunday morning.” If the No. 3 Vanderbilt Commodores were hoping for an easy Friday evening, they were surely disappointed. The Commodores did leave Audrey J. Walton Stadium with the 1-0 victory, but Missouri turned what could have (even should have) been a rout into […]

WELCOME BACK TO PREGAMIN’, HERE’S YOUR JAM OF THE WEEK REGULATE YOUR EMOTIONS AFTER LAST WEEK AND LET’S THROW BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN WE COULD ACTUALLY BEAT TEXAS A&M Rock M-ixology For whatever reason, I had a really hard time identifying a themed cocktail for this week.

Questions ahead of Mizzou taking on Texas A&M

No. 14 Mizzou welcomes Texas A&M for a 11 am kickoff on Saturday, and it’s an opportunity to stack another win in the toughest conference in football.

SB Nation Reacts: Fans say Florida was Drinkwitz’s best win

The dust hasn’t even settled on last week’s Homecoming win over Florida. But it seems Missouri fans are ready to put it on a pedestal anyway.

Chris Beard looks to rebound with the Ole Miss Rebels

Coming off one of the best seasons in decades, Ole Miss was forced into a very hard roster reset after a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament. A host of players with expiring eligibility (yes that is still a thing) meant that Chris Beard was going to have to replace about 85% of his […]

Commute: CJ Gunn files suit in Boone County

The DePaul transfer is looking for eligibility to play this season at Missouri. I’ll be honest, when I first caught win of Gunn enrolling at Mizzou, and I looked into it a little, I was really skeptical he’d be able to pull it off. Mainly considering the single factor that he made the decision to […]

Wanjiku and Mizzou XC Take On Nation’s Best Ahead of SEC Championships

Josh Hubbard is awesome, but he needs some help

The good news is last year Chris Jans and Mississippi State finally broke the 8-10 curse they’d been facing for the previous 3 seasons (actually five if you include the last two years of Ben Howland). The bad news is things went really wrong. Just going by analytics, the Bulldogs were the worst team in […]

Which Mizzou players saw their stock rise heading into Week 6
