I showed up to Mizzou Softball Stadium for Saturday’s shutout win and Margo was there on Sunday for the 4-0 loss. Take a look at the photos […]
In my months-long quest to not be grumpy about the 2026 Tigers, – and, specifically, the ‘26 defense – said journey now takes us to one of the bigger x-factors in a football game: turnovers. A defense that can continuously give their offense the ball in plus territory by taking away the opposing offense’s control […]

It’s NFL Draft week. And for college football fans, it’s one of the best weeks of the year. As an NFL skeptic and college football fanatic, I’ve always found the draft to be one of the league’s best nights. It’s incredibly rewarding to see guys you’ve invested multiple years in – both at your school […]
NCAA Gymnastics season is officially over, and a new reigning champion, the Oklahoma Sooners, has been crowned. Congrats to KJ Kindler & Co., as they were the best team on the day.

Despite coming into the game with momentum from a strong 5-0 win on Saturday that forced a rubber match, Mizzou Softball couldn’t get it done against No. 25 South Carolina, falling 4-0 on Sunday in Columbia as the Tigers’ playoff tunnel becomes narrower.

After a sudden loss for Missouri baseball, highlighted by Jase Woita’s 3-for-4 performance with two home runs, three RBIs and two runs scored, the Tigers returned looking for revenge. However, Mizzou’s offense was held to just two hits, and they were unable to defeat Oklahoma on Saturday, April 18. Kehlenbrink’s 10 K Outing Brady Kehlenbrink […]

Fire up Mr. Brightside! Boy, it’s a rare situation for us to be celebrating a Kansas player, but in this case it’s at least a former KU player. But for every story, it’s not often how you begin but how you end, and now it’s official that Bryson Tiller will no longer be remembered as […]
With the current transitory nature of college athletics, vibes can shift dramatically from year to year, season to season and even month to month.
