First Serve: Mizzou’s road struggles continue as Tigers search for answers
Missouri volleyball’s first SEC road trip of the season exposed a problem the Tigers have been dealing with all season. Mizzou left Oxford and Baton Rouge without a win, falling to Ole Miss 3-1 Friday before dropping a five-set heartbreaker to LSU on Sunday, moving to 8-7 overall and 1-2 in SEC play. The two […]
Tiger Top Spin: Six weeks of work begin to pay off for Mizzou tennis
Mizzou tennis is beginning to see the results of six weeks of work come together on the court. After spending much of the fall building new habits and learning how to compete as a team, the Tigers continued their progress with a strong showing at the 49er Invite in Charlotte, North Carolina. Mizzou finished the […]
What went into Mizzou’s defense in containing Jadan Baugh
Early in Mizzou’s 45-17 victory over then No. 8 Florida, it looked like the same old defense that we saw the previous week in a high-scoring loss in Starkville. On the second play of the game, Florida’s Jadan Baugh bounced to the outside and picked up 12 yards down the left sideline for a first […]
MV3: Austin Simmons Leads Mizzou to 45-17 Statement Win over Florida

Mizzou Volleyball Drops Wild Five Set Thriller at LSU
Last season, Missouri volleyball controlled the floor against LSU, dictated the tempo and handed the Tigers a convincing 3-1 defeat. Fast forward to Sunday, and history seemed ready to repeat itself early on. After five grueling sets of hard-hit swings, relentless defense and tough offensive battles, Mizzou found itself on the wrong end of a […]
Opening Odds: Mizzou slightly favored over Texas A&M
Not to be a downer… but I’m not sure how you top a regular season game like that. Mizzou put a historic beatdown on Florida to celebrate the school’s 115th Homecoming in what might be the signature regular season win of the Eli Drinkwitz era. Detractors will say, “Muh, Florida was overrated.” And that can […]
Selected Shots Sunday: Homecoming Spectacular
Mizzou fans were in for an absolute TREAT on Saturday. The weather? Magnificent. The action? Spectacular. The score? Astonishing. The throws? Unreal. Roberts’ runs? Wow. The vibes? Immaculate.

Pourover: Never let anyone else define who you are
There was a lot of noise this week about Missouri Football. About Eli Drinkwitz. A lot of noise. I’m guessing things will be a lot quieter this week. The discourse around sports is something. Last week my take was simple, it felt like Missouri was in control of the game at Mississippi State heading into […]
Mizzou Rewrites Record Book; Dominates on Gridiron and in Box Score Against Florida

The win set a program record for margin of victory […]

In 2026, the No. 8 Florida Gators entered Memorial Stadium for No. 25 Mizzou football’s 115th homecoming game. The 45-17 win for the Tigers may have launched the start of a successful season after the fan base […]
Live Game Thread: Mizzou Hosts Red-Hot Florida on Homecoming
Entering Saturday, the Florida Gators are one of the nation’s most talked about teams.

They […]

SBN Reacts: Mizzou Fans Still Like Bowl Eligibility Chances
After their 31-24 loss to Mississippi State last week, the margin for error is slim for Missouri the rest of the season. Not just for the playoff, but also for the path to six wins. At 3-1, Mizzou is still in relatively good shape to make it to a bowl game for the seventh straight […]

Missouri vs Florida football Game Week: info, where to watch, predictions
The rivalry between Florida and Missouri is one of the more interesting ones in the new look SEC if you ask me. If only because they’ve played each other 12 times since 2012, they’ve each won 6 times, there’ve been a good share of blowouts, and it’s almost like neither team has been good at […]
Commute: Finding your own motivation
I’m always entertained by the idea of ‘bulletin board material.’ Eli Drinkwitz is no stranger to trash talk, but he usually waits until after the game to speak up. Coaches are kind of like that. Players on the other hand… Bryce Lovett was a redshirt in 2023, Tyreak Sapp was released by the Browns in […]
