A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
You don’t get opportunities like this very often. If you’d asked most Mizzou fans at the beginning of the year, the opportunity to play spoiler to Oklahoma’s seemingly iron clad College Football Playoff case would’ve been… let’s call it a secondary goal. I think most of us were hoping this game would be more of […]
Photos from basketball and football coverage overlap for the final time this year in this week’s column. Men’s basketball took down Minnesota 83-60 on Wednesday, and football celebrated senior night with a 49-27 win over Mississippi State for the final home game of the season. Basketball is one of my favorite sports to shoot. The […]
Last Year’s Success is This Year’s Opportunity With another intrasquad right around the corner on November 22, it’s time for my (long overdue) reaction to the team’s first public intrasquad, which was held in two parts on October 31 and November 1. For Majority Rules listeners, you already got some initial thoughts, which you can […]
The Missouri Tigers capped off a 49-27 win over Mississippi State on Senior Night in Columbia, Missouri — improving to 7-3 (3-3 SEC) on the season. Mizzou may not be in the 12-team College Football Playoff — but they intend on finishing the season strong, and this recent win over the Bulldogs showed exactly why. […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about rankings, rankings that are now totally and completely useless with the presence of the CFP rankings that get released simultaneously. Hey, I have to write about something. Mizzou is back in the Associated Press’s good graces after falling out for one week. The Tigers are ranked […]
After splitting the first two sets, back-to-back losses meant doom for Mizzou as they lost to Alabama 17-25, 25-16, 16-25, 23-25. This loss will hurt the Tigers’ RPI and KPI metrics, lowering their chances of reaching the NCAA Tournament for a team that is already considered on the bubble. The Alabama offense was consistently better […]
Tiger Style took a trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the National Duals Invitational. 15 of the 16 teams at the bracket-style duals tournament were ranked in the top 30 coming into the event, Mizzou holding the No. 16 spot. After losing its initial dual, the Tigers cruised in the consolation bracket to an eighth-place finish […]
Five new names joined Mizzou Softball on National Signing Day last Wednesday as the program looks to spark momentum after a tough 2025 season. Headlined by four-star infielders Audrey Cathey and Katie Guilliam — both ranked top five in their respective states — the Tigers enter the 2026 recruiting class at No. 23 nationally. Cathey, […]
“I hit 400 in high school,” running back Ahmad Hardy said in Saturday’s post-game. A dominating performance was nothing new for the Mizzou star. In just his tenth game as a Missouri Tiger, Hardy climbed the ranks of the Missouri greats. Over 25 carries, the running back collected 300 yards in the resounding defeat of […]
The last four games have not gone the way you wanted them to go. Outside of the Overtime win at Auburn, Missouri has missed three other opportunities to keep their playoff hopes alive, and lost their starting quarterback along the way as well. But two narrow losses, and another you could chalk up to an […]
Well that was a lot of fun! It feels good to be back in the win column, am I right? Here are your five takeaways from Mizzou’s chaotic, whacky, and ultimately dominant win over Mississippi State. 1. The Ahmad Hardy Show Ahmad Hardy was starting to shake off a mid-season lull after going for 97 […]
Outlined against the bright lights of Memorial Stadium under a jet black November sky, the horseman rode again. Ahmad Hardy powered Missouri to a 49-27 win over Mississippi State on Senior Night with his most impressive performance yet in a Tigers uniform, rushing for 300 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries. “It meant a […]
Mizzou women’s basketball played neck-and-neck with kU all game, even leading for a solid 2 minutes and 39 seconds. But it was not enough, as the Tigers fell to the Jayhawks 82-77 in the first (official) loss under Kellie Harper. The Tigers opened the fourth quarter with back-to-back layups, tying the game at 66. But […]
On senior night in Columbia, the Mizzou Tigers welcome the Mississippi State Bulldogs to Faurot Field. And for those curious, yes, they did create a Rock M on the west side of the stadium for the seniors to continue the tradition. The Bulldogs are 5-5 this season, but are 1-5 in conference play. Against every […]
Officially, the college football coaching carousel has been underway for weeks now. We’ve seen several powerhouse programs quickly move on from their head coach, and we seem to be hitting the accelerator on the timeline for a football coach. The sport has changed drastically and I’m not sure if the rest of sports media has […]
On paper, Mizzou and Mississippi State felt like an evenly matched showdown that could go five sets and either team could win. On the court, the Tigers proved themselves the better team with a sweep over the Bulldogs 25-14, 26-24, 25-21. The Mizzou defense did a phenomenal job limiting the home team’s offense, finishing with […]
The Missouri Tigers delivered a standout performance at the NCAA Midwest Championship on Friday at the Greiner Family XC Course in Stillwater, Okla., with the women placing fourth overall and the men earning a seventh-place finish. Women’s Side On the women’s side, Kenya native Monica Wanjiku led the way for the Tigers, placing sixth overall […]
WELCOME BACK TO PREGAMIN’ HERE’S YOUR JAM OF THE WEEK TURN THE VOLUME UP, IT’S TIME TO EAT ON SENIOR NIGHT Rock M-ixology Redemption. That’s what we need. On the field and in our glasses. Remember last week when I royally fumbled the Maple Bourbon Smash? Well, I need to get back on the horse […]
Of all the teams in the SEC I enjoy playing the least, Mississippi State is probably right there at the top of the list. No offense to the fans of the Bulldogs, or the fine people of Starkville. There’s just very little to no interest or history in this matchup. They also don’t carry the […]
A long and winding regular season for Mizzou volleyball comes to a close this weekend after games at Mississippi State and Alabama. After a 1-4 start in SEC play, the Tigers have won six of their last eight as they currently sit above .500 in the conference. The team lost its last match 3-1 after […]
The Missouri Tigers (6-3, 2-3 SEC) get set for Senior Night at Faurot Field as they host the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-5, 1-5 SEC) on Saturday. Mizzou is looking to end a two-game losing skid and Mississippi State is playing for bowl eligibility in year two under head coach Jeff Lebby. Kick-off on Saturday night […]
Dennis Gates capped off his highly ranked recruiting class with the official signing yesterday. The release from the MUTigers.com release: The nation’s premier scorer in the Class of 2026 is rounding out the nation’s premier signing class as Jason Crowe Jr. (Inglewood, Calif.) officially signed with the Mizzou men’s basketball team on Thursday, giving the Tigers the […]
Mizzou soccer gets even younger as it adds a five-woman high school recruiting class to the program. The class consists of midfielders Lana Adams, Petra Bandula and Rylie Morse, and forwards Audrey Gilbert and Aisling Meehan. Compared to head coach Stefanie Golan’s 2025 freshmen crop, this group is far more diverse geographically. This new group […]
With three games remaining in the regular season, Missouri is 6-3 (2-3 SEC) and officially eliminated from the 12-team College Football Playoff. After a promising 5-0 start to the season, the Tigers have lost two out of their last three games to put them out of CFP contention. Mizzou, however, is still bowl eligible. The […]
I’ll be honest. I’m not sure what to make of this team yet. I was pretty sure they’d be good heading into the season, but wasn’t sure how good. I thought they had the talent and depth to contend for a top four finish in the league. But so far this season they’ve been down […]
