A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
After a 23-17 double-overtime win at Auburn last Saturday night, the Missouri Tigers are officially bowl eligible. In his first six seasons, head coach Eli Drinkwitz has had a bowl eligible record every year leading the Tigers. Though at 6-1 and ranked No. 15 in the latest AP Top 25 poll — Mizzou has their […]
In basketball the term rebound is defined by possession after a missed shot. But beyond basketball it’s typically defined as a recovery following a setback. The first item is something Mizzou struggled with for the first two seasons during Dennis Gates’ tenure. The latter defined the third. There were a lot of prognosticators who doubted […]
The Mizzou Tigers have had an explosive offense all season long and one of their key players is only a freshman. Donovan Olugbode hails from Chicago, Illinois, but spent his high school career at IMG Academy in Florida (with a stint at Montini Catholic before the move). Out of high school he was a four […]
Welcome to the series, ‘What’s The Trend,‘ which highlights the biggest risers and fallers in the Mizzou Football world each week! Mizzou is coming off its first road victory of the season and stays on the road to take on No. 10 Vanderbilt this Saturday. Here are this week’s trends: On the Rise Donovan Olugbode […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou vs Vanderbilt injury updates You know the drill. Wednesday marks the first football injury reports released within the SEC — and for the first time all season (with the exception of Sam Horn and Blake Craig) Mizzou has a clean slate on the injury front. […]
Mizzou volleyball left the comfort of Hearnes Center with a three-game win streak under its belt for Cape Girardeau to play Southeast Missouri State. The Tigers probably didn’t expect this match to go the distance, but they still claimed the 3-2 win. There was plenty of variability in the match despite it going to five […]

It’s hard to imagine a time of Auburn basketball without Bruce Pearl on the sidelines. A time when they were a destitute and moribund program lost to the deep confines of play in games in the SEC Tournament. Auburns history as a program is a little all over the map. The Charles Barkley years were […]
Missouri and Vanderbilt will meet as Top 15 ranked opponents for an opportunity to crash the Playoff and become one of the wildest stories in the 2025 college football zeitgeist. Mizzou has been in this spotlight before but, even though Vanderbilt hasn’t, don’t rely on that aspect for anything. Clark Lea and Diego Pavia have […]
Silly season seems to start earlier and earlier every season, as disgruntled donors and administrations of P4 programs are more and more likely to can coaches mid-season than ever before. Silly season takes on particular significance when blue blood programs have job openings in the middle of the year, which is the case this season […]
During his weekly press conference, one of the first questions Eli Drinkwitz was asked was about Zion Young, who logged two sacks in extra time against Auburn, helping Mizzou slug out a win on the Plains. Drinkwitz’s answer addressed how Young’s energy was contagious: There’s benefits and negatives to having microphones everywhere. Like, this game […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Football! Eli Drinkwitz and players spoke to media today following its first road victory of the season. Despite getting the job done, and as much resilience as the Tigers showed, Drinkwitz as per usual, is right back to work. “I thought our team was […]
Eli Drinkwitz and Mike Kelly returned to Harpo’s for Tiger Talk Tuesday night ahead of Mizzou’s top-15 matchup against Vanderbilt in Nashville – a game that will be preceded by College GameDay. Here’s what Drinkwitz, alongside edge rusher Zion Young and wide receiver Joshua Manning, had to say: Eli Drinkwitz Zion Young Joshua Manning
The basketball season has snuck up on us once again, as November is nearly here. New Mizzou women’s basketball coach Kellie Harper and her roster spoke to the media to give us an inside look at the last several months as they continue to prepare for the 2025-26 season. Here are our main takeaways from […]
Fresh off the best season imaginable– I mean, could it have gotten any better?!? — the Missouri Tigers, who return 13 members of the 2024-25 squad, including four WCGA All-Americans, will have a new gymnastics home, Mizzou Arena. The Happiest Place on Earth. No, that’s not Disney World, c’mon now. The countdown has been masterful, […]
I doubt you’d find many people who thought the Rodney Terry experiment would last very long in Austin. When Chris Beard was fired for cause in December of 2022, and Terry took over, he handled the change and process well. He forced AD Chris Del Conte’s hand as much as an interim coach can, but […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Missouri fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Plenty of good things are happening with Missouri Football right now. All things considered, the status […]
In any season, but especially in a college football season in 2025, the old axiom of “They don’t ask how, they ask how many” is the correct approach to football victories in the SEC. The talent is more spread out so that we don’t have dreadnaught programs like Alabama and Georgia rolling blue-chippers out three-deep, […]
Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless sports blog is another second off your life. Don’t you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can’t think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Zion Young. Mizzou’s Zion Young topped our latest MV3 following the double-overtime road win over Auburn. He put together a stat-line of five total tackles (3 s0l0), two sacks, and 2.5 TFLs. To no one’s surprise, that earned him SEC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week honors […]
With Hannah out of town, we reached out to other Mizzou J-Schoolers for photography help for a couple of Olympic Sports contests. On Friday, Corinna Utterback shot the Mizzou-Ole Miss volleyball game, and on Sunday, freshman Margo Jenkins shot what will be the first of many events for us as she went to the Mizzou-Arkansas […]
Choosing to believe in any kind of different outcome than one that has preceded not once, not twice, but three times before in exactly the same fashion may not be considered a rule of insanity. But we might be getting close. Last season Mississippi State finished 8-10 in conference play. The season before they finished […]
The Missouri Tigers suffered their first loss of the season at home vs Alabama last weekend in a 27-24 defeat to the Crimson Tide. In the loss, Zion Young had some costly penalties in the Crimson Tide opening drive which changed the momentum of the game. Having said that, the senior defensive captain responded in […]
Welcome to a special edition of photos of the week! Last week I mentioned that I’d be unavailable to cover more events until Nov. 1, so this week and next week will be a bit different than usual. Today’s coverage is somewhat of an “outtakes” version, using photos that I kept but didn’t use and […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute It’s going to be a talking point over the next few months, so we might as well rip the band-aid off here. Florida fired Billy Napier yesterday, making it the second high profile coaching job to open up in the past week. Unlike Penn State, however, Florida has been heavily […]
