Pourover: Never let anyone else define who you are
There was a lot of noise this week about Missouri Football. About Eli Drinkwitz. A lot of noise. I’m guessing things will be a lot quieter this week. The discourse around sports is something. Last week my take was simple, it felt like Missouri was in control of the game at Mississippi State heading into […]
Mizzou Rewrites Record Book; Dominates on Gridiron and in Box Score Against Florida

The 45-17 win for the Tigers may have launched the start of a successful season after the fan base […]

Missouri vs Florida football Game Week: info, where to watch, predictions
The rivalry between Florida and Missouri is one of the more interesting ones in the new look SEC if you ask me. If only because they’ve played each other 12 times since 2012, they’ve each won 6 times, there’ve been a good share of blowouts, and it’s almost like neither team has been good at […]
Commute: Finding your own motivation
I’m always entertained by the idea of ‘bulletin board material.’ Eli Drinkwitz is no stranger to trash talk, but he usually waits until after the game to speak up. Coaches are kind of like that. Players on the other hand… Bryce Lovett was a redshirt in 2023, Tyreak Sapp was released by the Browns in […]

Tight End Production Has Disappeared From the Mizzou Offense
Mizzou football was once a hub for tight end production. From All-Americans like Chase Coffman and Michael Egnew in the late 2000s to effective rooms in the late 2010s led by Albert Okwuegbunam, tight ends were a primary source of offense. Somewhere along the way, the Tigers lost that pedigree. Under head coach Eli Drinkwitz, […]
Mizzou Football stock risers and fallers a quarter into 2026

Florida Gators Preview
There have been two notable eras of Florida football in my lifetime. The first was the Steve Spurrier era: I was still fairly young but even I knew that it was a super fun offense that threw the ball around a lot, won a ton of games, and – as I found out later – […]
