Tigers Game Recap The Tigers had a scoreless first, second and third inning, as Dohrmann struck out four batters, including Nick Romano […]
How one lineup reveals the fragility of Missouri’s short rotation
At first, the substitution didn’t seem like a big deal. Anthony Robinson II stood at the free-throw line, hoping to finish a four-point play after Texas’ Chendall Weaver fouled him on a clumsy closeout. Robinson’s step-back three had just nudged Missouri ahead by one with 1:35 left in the half, and Missouri coach Dennis Gates […]

Mizzou Gym gets the W but simply whelms in Lexington
Dear Readers, forgive me if I’m showing my age a bit here, but this gif, from the absolute CLASSIC 1999 movie 10 Things I Hate About You, is what came to mind watching Mizzou Gymnastics’ meet on what almost was a very unlucky Friday the 13th evening.

A recap of the Tigers’ eventful 3-game set down in Florida Missouri leaves Fort Myers 2-1 in its clash against Mount Saint Mary’s from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, and if the opening series felt a little bit chaotic, that’s because it is. Sometimes February baseball is similar to a pilot episode of a tv […]
Missouri Football’s 2025 Team Profile
During the season I did a statistical breakdown of both the offense and the defense as they headed into each bye week. You can read the 2nd Bye Week installment of the defense here and there’s a link to the offensive profile in there as well. I figured it would be a good idea to go […]

But in the remaining 14 plus minutes Texas scored 44 points, including 14 from the free throw line. In turn Mizzou […]

Pourover: Bubble teams can’t handle prosperity
If you watched the Mizzou Basketball game last night, you likely experienced frustration, fatigue, maybe some acid reflux. There might be some more symptoms you experienced, maybe some lower limb loss, constipation, I don’t know, I feel like I’ve seen too many prescription medication ads on TV lately. I don’t know that Skyrizi exists for […]

GameDay: Keeping your winning streak going
For many years Texas fielded a basketball program but few people noticed. Sure they rose up to win the SWC title every so often, made a trip to the NCAA Tournament, but nobody cared.
