A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
After a 2025 season filled with injuries, players switching from their natural positions and a nearly winless slate in Southeastern Conference play, Missouri Baseball was looking for a year to show just about any signs of improvement. They got that in 2026. While a 12-2 loss in the SEC Tournament might have brought an unceremonious […]
What do we know about Eli Drinkwitz thus far in his Mizzou career? We know he loves a good, albeit convoluted, recruiting hash tag. He’s a Diet Coke man. He’s not afraid of making some noise with a microphone in his face. And he loves putting together a good running game. And to do the […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou basketball. We knew that Mizzou men’s basketball will be taking on Marquette, and it was made official on Tuesday. The Tigers will take on the Golden Eagles Sunday, Nov. 15 at the United Center at the Legends Classic in Chicago. This is exciting in multiple […]

Welcome back to Rock M Nation’s annual opponent preview series of the upcoming season. Each week we will break down one opponent from the schedule in chronological order. Given that rosters are ever fluid – and this is done by a hobbyist rather than a pro – there could be some errors in history and […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Diamond Sports. It was a busy Monday for Mizzou’s diamond sports as far as transfer portal additions go. Softball is in desperate need of pitching — and the coaching staff has landed South Carolina’s Nealy Lamb. The junior, per 64 Analytics, was rated as the no. […]
Mizzou Softball program news continues to trickle out this offseason — on June 9 they announced the addition of Ohio State hitting coach Matthew Guemmer, which I wrote about here — and on Sunday evening, head coach Larissa Anderson and pitching coordinator Connor Mammola sent out complementary bat signals. Who would it be? Given Connor’s […]
Until this afternoon – Sunday, June 14, that is – I’d never considered writing an obituary. Not even for one second. I suspect I’ll be pretty bad at it. But this is my 1,900th post for Rock M Nation (true story), and I suppose there’s a first time for everything. Aldon Smith died this weekend. […]
19 days after Bryson LeBlanc departed from the program, Mizzou baseball has found its new hitting coach. The news was first reported by Kendall Rodgers of D1Baseball. Van Horn previously coached with the New Mexico State Aggies starting in Nov. 2020, and after his two-year stint as a volunteer assistant and working with the hitters, […]
Former Mizzou defensive end Aldon Smith has died at the age of 36, as confirmed by his former NFL team, the San Francisco 49ers. “We are devastated by the sudden and tragic passing of Aldon Smith. Aldon’s undeniable talent and sheer dominance on the field were on display from the moment he joined our organization, […]
If T.O. Barrett had entered the transfer portal after his freshman season, I doubt there would be many who would have blinked. After all he only saw action in 19 games, rarely played more than a handful of minutes when he did play, and was sitting behind Anthony Robinson II on the depth chart. That’s […]
With the 2026 season now wrapped up for Mizzou Baseball, Kerrick Jackson & Co. currently find themselves navigating a heavy wave of departures. To date, a dozen Tigers have officially entered the portal. The list of talent includes five pitchers and seven position players, featuring several notable names who saw extensive action this season. Names […]

Curiosity with this year’s Missouri team is high as there are plenty of unknowns on both sides of the football. At the top of the list, all eyes will be on redshirt junior quarterback Austin Simmons and how he and the entire offense look under newly hired offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey. Simmons arrives from Mississippi, […]
The absolute pinnacle of collegiate track and field took center stage for Missouri at the historic Hayward Field from Wednesday, June 10, through Thursday, June 11, as top athletes converged for the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship Finals. Facing off against the nation’s best, a select group of Tigers stepped onto the track […]
The Brendan Sorsby debacle is as ugly of a chapter as we’ve seen yet. We haven’t talked much about the Sorsby thing here, most of the time we tend to just focus on Mizzou. But this story has ripples that are going to extend all the way through to the corners of the football. You […]
Mizzou’s 2027 recruiting class is starting to take shape as Eli Drinkwitz and the staff received a huge recruiting win late Thursday afternoon. Four-star wide receiver Lawrence Britt has announced his commitment to Mizzou following a recent official visit. He announced his decision live on the 247Sports’ YouTube page and Missouri won the recruiting battle […]
If you ask me there are two important things to do in football if you want to win games: This is my simple diagnosis of what makes a good football team. And Kobe Rhymes, one of Mizzou’s most recent additions to the 2027 class, could certainly help on the latter front. Playing both middle linebacker […]
We’re back with our second round of TTOP for the 2026 season. This summer we’ll be exploring the top 10 offensive and defensive players Mizzou football is slated to face this fall. We’re not ranking them 1-10, it’s much more scientific then that (or linguistic since we are just ordering them alphabetically.) So far, we’ve […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Football We now know the TV windows for Mizzou Football’s SEC slate this upcoming season. Missouri’s SEC opener at Mississippi State on September 26th is scheduled to be a night game in Starkville. The Tigers also get a home night game on November 21st vs […]
It was a scenario right out of a teaching tape. During the first possession of the second half against Princeton, Kansas freshman Bryson Tiller set a clean screen for Tre White at the top of the arc. To keep White from turning the corner, forward Malik Abdullahi played at the level. Almost instantly, Tiller slipped […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Football! Mizzou secured another commitment, this time in form of a flip from Michigan from 2027 offensive lineman Tristan Dare. From Josh’s story: Dare, a Southlake, Texas native, is a name that’s been all over Missouri recruiting boards this cycle, and his commitment continues […]
It’s been another weird offseason for the Missouri Tigers softball team. Just as quickly as Jason Gwyn was brought in May 2025, he was gone. Sir, we barely knew ye, but your impact was felt in CoMo. Gwyn was largely responsible for accumulating the yet-to-be-signed Class of 2027 talent as the recruiting coordinator, and was […]
There’s a heat advisory on in Missouri, and one can only assume it has nothing to do with the humidity and everything to do with Eli Drinkwitz’s recruiting momentum. On Tuesday morning, Mizzou officially flipped the commitment of 3-star IOL Tristan Dare, pulling him away from his previous commitment to Michigan. Dare, a Southlake, Texas […]
