A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
In the opening minutes of Missouri men’s basketball’s SEC Tournament matchup with Kentucky, the Tigers offense struggled to find a spark. Mark Mitchell attempted an alley-oop to Shawn Phillips Jr. that missed its mark, then Phillips committed MU’s first turnover just a few seconds later after he was stripped of the ball and it bounced […]

Linebacker was one of the most experienced position groups on Mizzou’s defense in 2025, but the unit will look very different in 2026. The Tigers must replace their top tackler in Josiah Trotter, who moved on to the NFL draft, along with two extremely experienced veterans in senior Khalil Jacobs and sixth-year senior Triston Newson. […]

In what felt like a must-win game for Mizzou Softball after falling in four straight, the Tigers got it done with a solid run-rule win against a UT-Martin team that didn’t put up too much of a fight. Mizzou won 8-0 in a five-inning run-rule on Wednesday at Mizzou Softball Stadium. Coming into the midweek […]
With Missouri having a first round bye for the SEC Tournament we spent most of the day today watching other teams play. Fortunately for the Tigers, they got their answer on who they would face quickly, as the Kentucky versus LSU game was the first one up. The Wildcats won, pulling away in the second […]
Missouri has yet to take the court in the NCAA Tournament, but I thought it might be a good idea to walk through a few scenarios for how Mizzou would make, or miss the NCAA Tournament. Before we go further, missing the NCAA Tournament is pretty unlikely, but the chance still exists. Making the tournament […]
Nashville is a city where dreams are fulfilled and shattered every day. Young country singers flock to the Music City to try and become the industry’s next big star. Some go on to make platinum records and win awards. Most don’t make it and head home with only a vision of what could have been. […]
Following consecutive losses to Oklahoma and Arkansas in the final week of the regular season, Missouri men’s basketball finds itself back in a familiar place heading into the SEC Tournament. The Tigers spent most of the last two months on the bubble, which we’ll define as the projected first eight teams in and eight teams […]
Mizzou has been on a roll securing its second Class of 2027 commit in a week by adding three-star offensive lineman Lual Aleu to give some protection to quarterback commit Braylen Warren and any future QB repping the black and gold. The news came on Monday night, just three nights after 2027 safety Jabarri Lofton […]

Margo’s photos from one of the baseball games against UIC take the stage this week! The Tigers swept the Flames in the four-game series at home. The first two games were won by one run each and the last two were shutouts. Here are the photos of the week! Fun fact about me: I grew […]
It’s not often Missouri gets a player with such a standout performance to come back for another year. A big part of that was the Pinkel system that we operated under for 15 years, where underclassmen baked a little longer on the bench and upperclassmen typically got the starter-level snaps, only to shuffle off to […]
As Trent Pierce swished a three to put Missouri into the lead with just over a minute gone in overtime, I had a moment where I thought the Tigers were going to pull it off. But on the next possession, the failed to collect two rebounds, giving Arkansas three shots at retaking the lead, and […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Hoops and a little bit of baseball For the second straight year, Mark Mitchell has been awarded SEC honors. The senior has landed on the second team — per an announcement on Monday. Currently leading Mizzou in points, assists, and rebounds — Mitchell became the […]
Even a day-plus removed, I feel a wide range of emotions about Mizzou’s meet in Athens, from joy to irritation to anxiety. With just one meet left in the regular season, I don’t know what to expect, but I hope like hell it involves healthy athletes, sticky feet and equitable judging. Judging has been an […]
Don’t let Eli Drinkwitz get on a heater, folks. We know how that turns out. A few days after landing East St. Louis safety Jabarri Lofton, Mizzou’s 2027 high school recruiting class has added yet another member in OL Lual Aleu out of Winton Woods in Cincinnati. Rivals/On3 and 247 both have Aleu listed as […]
Heading into the final Saturday of SEC play there were a lot of scenarios where any number of teams could have ended up seeded in way different spots than they ended up in. The Missouri Tigers were not alone in their range of outcomes Mostly, Missouri only needed two things to happen in order to […]
Remember the days when we used to worry about local boys going elsewhere to play their college football? I do. And they sucked. Eli Drinkwitz’s success at recruiting in-state football players since he arrived has been so good that it’s become a given. Whereas we would spend many a day hemming and hawing about whether […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re yet again talking about how Mizzou Baseball doesn’t seem to be able to not win at this point in time. After some early struggles in their weekend series against UIC, the Tigers figured things out on the mound and in the box, run-ruling UIC during the final two […]
Mizzou Baseball didn’t just finish a sweep on Sunday. It finished a statement. Behind six scoreless innings from left‑hander Brady Kehlenbrink and a four‑homer afternoon from the lineup, Missouri rolled past UIC 10–0 in seven innings at Taylor Stadium, closing out a four‑game sweep and extending its winning streak to 12 games. Sunday’s finale followed […]
In what felt like a poetic finish, Mizzou Softball fell short once again against ranked Florida, this time 5-4 in 11 innings, to clinch the series for the Gators. The poetry was the final hit that allowed star outfielder Taylor Shumaker to reach home plate for the game-winning run in the bottom of the 11th. […]
Three hours and 13 minutes after the biggest comeback win of the season for Missouri baseball, Josh McDevitt provided the Tigers with what they had been lacking for the first two games of the series in their 7-0 series-clinching victory over UIC. Quality starting pitching. In his previous three outings this season, McDevitt has given […]
Mark Mitchell was a monster. As he’s been all year really. Mitchell scored 32 points, a career high, on Senior Day. He was, as he’s been all season long, and for most of the last two years, the Tigers most impactful player. What Mitchell needed was one teammate to be awesome with him. Instead he […]
