2026 Mizzou Football Preview: Meet Your Running Backs
Previous Previews: QUARTERBACKS There is arguably no position group on Mizzou’s 2026 roster to have more confidence in than the tailback position. For the first time ever, Mizzou statistically led the SEC in rushing yards per game in 2025. The Tigers return 90% of the rushing yards from the room a season ago, while adding […]
Luther Burden III injured in Bears’ training camp
Welcome to the Morning Commute. Today we’re talking about how things could be going better for LB3 in his sophomore mini-camp. One of the greatest receivers to ever don black-and-gold, Burden had a strong rookie season in Chicago, averaging nearly 14 yards a catch on his way to two touchdowns and 652 yards receiving. With […]
Mizzou Sports are BACK, Babyyyy.
After a slow summer with little Mizzou sports news to report upon besides baseball additions, I know we are all READY for the 2026-27 season. Since I’m not quite ready to put out my too early gymnastics previews just yet — they take a long time to write, y’all — I’ve decided to do a […]
Mizzou Hoops Player Review: Nicholas Randall
Heading into the season there wasn’t much of an expectation the Tigers would be relying much upon their two incoming freshmen. It was clear early on Aaron Rowe would be catching a redshirt, if that sort of thing exists anymore, but it did last year! And Nicholas Randall was expected to take the year to […]

2026 Mizzou Football Preview: Meet Your Quarterbacks
The biggest indicator of success for Mizzou football, and really any program, is quarterback play. Excellent play at the position fueled the team’s 2023 Cotton Bowl run, while inconsistency caused the team to take a step back in 2025. Now, the Tigers enter 2026 with plenty of intrigue at the quarterback position. The starter has […]
Commute: Mark Mitchell is a hot name
When players and agents sue the NCAA, they tend to win, and Mitchell might be the latest winner. With the news of a preliminary injunction granting any four year player a 5th season spread everywhere quickly, and Mark Mitchell was and is one of the best names available. Mitchell isn’t technically in the transfer portal, […]
How Xai’Shaun Edwards Fits Into the Backfield in the Present and Future

Top Ten Opposing Players: Gunner Stockton and Taylor Wein
This summer we’ve explored the top 10 offensive and defensive players Mizzou football is slated to face this fall.

We wrap up the 2026 offseason with our final TTOP featuring a gritty Gunner from Georgia […]

Tiger Takedowns: An Early Look at Mizzou’s All-American Contenders
Mizzou wrestling head coach Brian Smith is always surprisingly soft-spoken.

If you’ve never gotten the pleasure of hearing him speak, check out his sit-down interview with FloWrestling. He detailed what it’s been […]

Eli Drinkwitz’s seventh season at Mizzou is his riskiest yet
Nearly seven years into his Columbia tenure, what do we know about Eli Drinkwitz? We know he loves a Diet Coke. I’m more of a Coke Zero guy, but we’re all addicted to the chemicals of our choosing. We know he’s a bit of a troll. And while I might find it a bit distasteful […]
Notebook: Observations and Updates From Tigers’ First Fall Camp Practice

Tiger Top Spin: Expectations should center on progress, not wins, for Missouri tennis
Winning won’t be the only gauge of improvement for Missouri tennis this season. For a program undergoing one of the biggest transitions in recent memory, success may be better measured by growth than by the amount of sets won. Missouri enters the 2026-27 season with a new coaching staff led by Robin Goodman, an entirely […]
Mizzou’s Special Teams is Aiming for a Bounce-Back
A football team’s special teams unit constantly making headlines isn’t always a bad thing.

Last season was a wake-up call for the unit. The injury to starting […]
