A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
If someone on the street walked up to you and said “name the biggest issue Missouri’s defense has faced over the past three years” and gave you five seconds to answer, you’d probably respond “allowing big plays”. If you read anything I’ve written over the same time frame, you’d probably be able to dial down […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Basketball We keep hearing the names of Providence transfer Jamier Jones and kansas transfer Bryson Tiller floating around as possible portal additions. Both have recently visited Missouri and have connections to Tim Fuller. Though on Monday evening, Mizzou Basketball got their offseason started with an […]
The college wrestling transfer portal opened April 1. The first move involving Mizzou wrestling was Zeke Seltzer (141lbs) entering the portal April 10. That likely signaled that the Tigers had made contact with a proven talent to bring in from the portal. Enter Zan Fugitt – the first transfer commitment for Brian Smith this offseason […]
It’s your first surprise of the portal season! Much of the noise around Missouri and the transfer portal has been around Bryson Tiller and Jamier Jones, but sometimes Dennis Gates likes to sneak in a surprise addition, and this time he kept the Tigers pursuit of a former Tennessee Volunteer under wraps. Tonight Jaylen Carey, […]
This week’s column showcases baseball photos from Margo and me! On Tuesday, Margo covered the team’s 5-2 win over Missouri State, and I was there for the 1-0 loss to South Carolina on Friday. Here are the photos of the week! I’m not normally a huge fan of wide shots in baseball unless it’s an […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about the college basketball transfer portal, which is firing on all cylinders. And Mizzou Hoops hasn’t benefitted… at least not as of this moment. If you’re a site regular, you already know to check the official Transfer Tracker that’s up on the home page, as that’ll get […]
Kellie Harper continues to look to the Big Ten in this year’s transfer portal, making her second addition from the conference in Indiana’s Nevaeh Caffey. The 5-foot-10 point guard is originally from Warrenton, Missouri, entering the portal after spending her freshman year with the Hoosiers. Caffey averaged 8.5 points as a true freshman on shooting […]
The 2026 season wrap up content continues for Mizzou Gymnastics, and today’s topic is all about numbers. None of that feelings stuff that you all have come to know me for; this is just about the data and some facts and figures. In case you missed my recap of last week’s NCAA Regional Finals, you […]
Mizzou baseball went into Saturday afternoon, looking to solve its latest offensive slump. The Tigers couldn’t quite find the key that opened that offensive lock, losing 6-4 in a game that, to put it lightly, came few and far between for the Tigers. “Unfortunately, not a very competitive weekend,” Mizzou coach Kerrick Jackson said. “As […]
In what felt like another must-win following an 8-0 run-rule loss against ranked Georgia, Mizzou Softball got back into the win column with a 4-3 road win against the Bulldogs in Athens, Georgia. The win pushes the season series between the two teams to 1-1, building up a high-anticipation rubber match for Sunday. Marissa McCann […]
The NFL Draft is right around the corner, which will be held April 23-25 in Pittsburgh — and we can expect some former Mizzou Football players to hear their name called. The only question is where. Per multiple mock drafts Zion Young is the likely candidate to be the first Missouri player selected — and […]
After its 5-1 series opening loss to the Gamecocks in which the Tigers mustered two hits, Missouri baseball was ripe for an offensive resurgence. On a cold Friday evening at Taylor Stadium, neither side was able to muster much offense. Three combined hits, one of which was a bunt single, came from the Tigers and […]
For eight teams— no. 1 Oklahoma, no. 2 LSU, no. 3 Florida, no. 4 UCLA, no. 6 Georgia, no. 7 Stanford, no. 9 Arkansas, and no. 13 Minnesota — dreams of a national championship are still alive. Everyone else? In the same boat as our favorite team, the no. 8 Missouri Tigers. The seasons of […]
Tiger fans didn’t just show up, by the fourth inning, Taylor Stadium was absolutely buzzing, fueled by $1.99 beer night and a crowd gone wild. Although, it didn’t start the way Tigers fans hoped. South Carolina struck first in the top of the third with a two-run bomb from leadoff Patrick Evans that quieted the […]
Here we track Mizzou, but the Tigers are amongst the teams with the fewest players in the portal. If you follow the transfer tracker it sometimes can be overwhelming to follow just one team. So one of the things I’ve done with RockM+ is taking to tracking all of the SEC. And there is a […]
Missouri baseball is rolling into another huge SEC weekend, fresh off its big wins over Missouri State and Kentucky. The series against South Carolina kicks off at 7 p.m. Thursday night, followed by 6 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon. This will be another game at Taylor Stadium underneath the lights, with Tiger fans […]
With the current transitory nature of college athletics, vibes can shift dramatically from year to year, season to season and even month to month. Programs that finished 2025 on a high note may have flopped in the portal. Programs that bottomed out last year may have had a big-time recruiting haul or hired a new […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Football Spring football has come to an end, but the real season will be here before you know it as the countdown has hit less than 150 days. While we may be in football offseason mode, SEC Media Days are just a couple of months […]
Coach Kellie Harper made her first portal addition of the season in the form of guard McKenzie Mathurin. Originally from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Mathurin spent one year at Michigan before entering the transfer portal. She is currently listed at 5-foot-10 and will have three years of eligibility remaining. She entered the portal with a “do […]
The 2025-26 college wrestling season is in the rear-view mirror, and head coach Brian Smith will look to bring Mizzou back to perennial success after a 14th-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The first step in building on this past season for the Tigers is retaining proven or potential talent and going after wrestlers who […]

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Baseball! Mizzou Baseball secured a mid-week home win against Missouri State 5-2 in Columbia. The win was highlighted by a birthday home run from redshirt freshman Donovan Jordan. The home run marked his second of the season and was a three-run bomb that put […]
No matter what’s happened for the Missouri State Bears in the past four games of the NCAA regular season, Mizzou baseball came out like a team that just won a road series in Southeastern Conference play. Jordan and the reigning Co-Freshman SEC player of the week, Blaize Ward, have a couple of things in common. […]
In the days after Indiana’s culmination of the ultimate “worst-to-first” climb, many stories came out disecting the Curt Cignetti hire, his staff, and how they did things in an effort to figure out “how the heck did Indiana do that?”. There were too many nuggets that I appreciated to pick out just a single one […]
