On Friday night, under the lights of Mizzou Arena, the no. 7 Missouri Tigers will welcome in the no. 2 Florida Gators for a battle of predatory animals in a rematch of the NCAA Semifinals that sent our fair Missouri Tigers to the National Championships and sent the gators packing their suitcases […]
Tiger Style Dual Preview: No. 18 West Virginia
This is an interesting time in the season for No. 19 Mizzou wrestling. The last three duals were all blowouts, two in favor of the Tigers and one as the victim against No. 5 Oklahoma State. There are three more duals left in the regular season, all against high-quality Big 12 opponents. Mizzou is coming […]
Commute: Can the NCAA wrestle eligibility back under control?
When 7th year 25 year olds are mocking 5th year 23 year olds… we’ve jumped the shark on eligibility. The main driver for NCAA related news these days seems to be lawsuits brought about to challenge eligibility rules. Since as long as I can remember the standard 5 years to play 4 seasons has been […]

T.O. Barrett upped his game — but can he give Mizzou more down the stretch?
T.O. Barrett’s breakout moment is easy to spot. It played out with five minutes left in regulation against Oklahoma. Missouri trailed by three. Barrett caught a ball reversal in the right slot and waited for Shawn Phillips Jr. to trot up and set a ball screen on the Sooners’ Tae Davis. Barrett didn’t need it. […]

Mizzou balances urgency, development in latest transfer portal class
As a chaotic #transferszn seems to finally have come to a close, it’s now time to dig through the rubble, count the casualties and take stock of how it all played out.

Revisiting 2025’s “Count The ‘Ifs’”
Before every football season I continue the tradition set by The Godfather Bill C. and come up with a checklist of accomplishments for the Missouri football team to complete. Some lead to a winning season, some lead to a 10-win season, and the best seasons of recent years check a lot more boxes than other […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 84, Mississippi State 79
Fun facts, Missouri was a 71% chance to win this game at the tip, and the lowest it would drop was when MSU took a one point lead at 26-25. That was at the end of a 12-1 run, which followed a rather stupid technical foul on Shawn Phillips. Anthony Robinson II had just rebounded […]
