A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
April was the first full month of the offseason for college wrestling. Transfer season came and went – Tiger Style making one big splash – among other events to kick off the retooling period. As multiple Tigers currently on the roster are competing in offseason tournaments, head coach Brian Smith and his staff are working […]
The NCAA still has some hoops to jump through, but the set up is a lot better than I expected. Now we wait for the lawsuits. The good news is they are only applying the rules to the student athletes enrolling in this upcoming school year. 2026-27 and you’ve got five years to play five […]
In Game 1 of the most important series of Mizzou Softball’s year, the Tigers couldn’t find an answer for back-to-back SEC Pitcher of the Year Karlyn Pickens losing 3-1 against No. 9 Tennessee on Thursday at Mizzou Softball Stadium. The Lady Vols have proven all year that they are no easy task. For starters, No. […]

Welcome to the 2026 Transfer Portal season. The portal is officially open and the information is about to start flowing. We’ve got an amended roster count, and it’s a lot lighter than it was just a few days ago. That isn’t a surprise, the portal is easy to get into. For players, coaches, and 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 are talking about Mizzou Softball! Mizzou Softball had a crucial midweek matchup against Kansas City where they were able to win soundly 6-0 . The highlight of the day was a first collegiate home run for Saniya Hill who has been knocking at the door the past few […]
The Mizzou offense went through the first three innings without any hits, making the sparse fans on a cold, cloudy Columbia day quite nervous (including the editor of this site). But the Tigers heated up quickly, scoring seven runs in two innings en route to a 7-0 shutout win. Saniya Hill had a particularly impressive […]
For many years I’ve been doing previews of both Missouri’s football team and its opponents heading into a given season. And one of the more notable stats that I cite is “returning production”. As usual, my guidance stems from our dearly beloved blogfather Bill C. and his five factors that contribute to his SP+ rating […]

While I took a little trip down to the bootheel for a Missourian story this week, Margo was on a roll covering Mizzou sports! On Wednesday, she covered softball’s 7-0 win over SIUE, then again on Friday as baseball fell to Arkansas 6-0, and again on Saturday for volleyball’s Mizzou Tournament. Keep reading to see […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about all the new Mizzou Tigers in the National Football League! If you were paying attention to our website – or, you know, the draft – the past few days, you’ll have noticed that the Tigers had a nice run on days two and three in Pittsburgh, […]
For the second day in a row, Eli Drinkwitz and the staff have landed an in-state commitment to add to their 2027 recruiting class. This one comes from the Kansas City area. Caleb Green, a three-star linebacker from Lee’s Summit North has announced his commitment to Missouri. He’s the younger brother of current offensive tackle […]
In what felt like a win-or-go-home situation for Mizzou Softball, the Tigers got the job done against No. 6 Arkansas thanks to a three-run homer from Sidney Forrester and a masterclass pitching performance by Cierra Harrison in relief to close out a 3-1 Mizzou win on Sunday at Bogle Park. While the Game 3 result […]
Todd Schaefer is one of the top offensive minds in NCAA women’s basketball. Schaefer has worked with some of the best pure scorers in the game including WNBA star Kelsey Plum, Minnesota Lynx rookie Saylor Poffenbarger and now Grace Slaughter at Mizzou.

Both of those streaks ended in Mizzou’s 6-0 victory on Saturday afternoon at Taylor Stadium. Another monkey off the Tigers’ back? Their recent nine-game losing streak, […]

Back at Bogle Park for a packed Game 2, the Missouri Tigers, now 24-25 record on the season with five regular season games left, wasted a strong pitching performance by senior Cierra Harrison, with a very leaky bullpen performance and an inability of the Tiger offense, outside of the freshmen, to get anything going against […]
For the second time in program history, Mizzou Football had four players selected in the Top 100 of the NFL Draft on Friday night. That can’t be bad for a recruiting pitch. On Saturday, Eli Drinkwitz and the staff have added to their 2027 class by continuing their in-state recruiting momentum. Three-star safety Keiran Govan […]
Mizzou baseball’s recent struggles continued Friday evening with a 6-0 loss against No. 24 Arkansas. The defeat clinches a third straight series loss in Southeastern Conference play and leaves the Tigers without an SEC win at home since their 12-11 victory over Auburn in May. 10 2024.

In one world, Mizzou ended day two of the 2026 NFL Draft with only one selection. In this world, however, they’ve got four. Trost became the fourth player to be selected on day two, going to the Los Angeles Rams with the 93rd overall pick. It’s a bit higher than many draft boards had him, […]
