A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
I know I said this week would be completely focusing on track, but I changed my mind… I wanted to take a chance to highlight the two other fantastic regular contributors to Rock M coverage: freshmen phenoms Margo Jenkins (@margoj_photography) and Dan Murphy (@danmurphmedia)! Enjoy some photos from all three of us this week from […]
One of the reasons the SEC is still considered a good league is because there are no really bad teams. The worst teams are bad in a relative way in comparison to the others mostly because of their record. So it’s easy to forget that heading into this game KenPom.com had projected this game as […]
It’s time for some honest reflection here, friends. Raise your hand if you thought Mizzou’s first SEC win of the season would come against no. 2 Florida (who now is #5, by the way). Yeah…. that’s what I thought. And that’s okay; I didn’t think it would happen either and just wanted a good score!! […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about the successful pipeline of Mizzou QBs to backup NFL QBs. First, Chase Daniel. Then, Blaine Gabbert. Now, Drew Lock. Next… Brady Cook? Last night, Drew Lock joined Daniel and Gabbert in prestigious company as former Tigers to win the big game as backup QBs, as Lock’s […]
Super Bowl Sunday has never been a fun day for the state of Georgia. The Atlanta Falcons have only made the big game twice in their 60-year history, losing both times. The second time featured a blown lead so agonizing that simply mentioning “28-3” could be punishable by death stares from Falcons fans. This time […]
I can’t remember who said winning on the road was hard, but clearly they are out of their mind because Mizzou made it look easy. Oh that was me, yesterday. Winning on the road is hard. It helps when you’re playing the lowest rated SEC team in KenPom. But you should never apologize for beating […]
One of the key stories of Missouri’s season has been missed chances. The Tigers saw multiple opportunities for road wins against struggling opponents slip through their fingers early in conference play, placing them firmly on the bubble heading into the back half of their SEC schedule. After Mike Sharavjamts cut South Carolina’s deficit to 34-32 […]

Coming off a season where Missouri baseball sat at the bottom of the Southeastern Conference with a 16-39 record and three wins in SEC play, there’s no place to look except up for a bounce-back season. Injury returnees, a revamp in identity, and a building project were some of the main talking points from Tigers […]
Winning is hard. Winning on the road is harder. Winning on the road in conference play is the hardest. Mizzou has been in the SEC now 14 seasons and they have 26 road wins in league play. That’s an average of less than 2 per season. And each year they play 9 road games, so […]
No. 19 Tiger Style picked up its third straight dual win with a 26-13 victory against No. 16 West Virginia, advancing to 11-7 and 4-2 in Big 12 play. That’s a very solid win after trailing through much of the lighter weight classes. Head coach Brian Smith has created a juggernaut of a stretch in […]
The Missouri Tigers capped off their last home meet of the season, with multiple athletes placing first and achieving top-10 program records on Friday, Feb. 6, at the Missouri Invitational in Columbia, Mo. Weight Throw Blows the Competition Away Senior Sam Innes led the men’s weight throw with a mark of 22.68 meters, the third […]
It is so great to be back watching and talking about Mizzou Softball! That being said, not the prettiest start for the Tigers on Day 1 of the NFCA Leadoff Classic. Mizzou went 0-2 with losses against Penn State and Oregon. The loss to the Ducks was expected, as they are No. 5 in the […]

IT’S SHOWTIME, BABYYYYYYYY. On Friday night, under the lights of Mizzou Arena, the no. 7 Missouri Tigers will welcome in the no. 2 Florida Gators for a battle of predatory animals in a rematch of the NCAA Semifinals that sent our fair Missouri Tigers to the National Championships and sent the gators packing their suitcases […]
This is an interesting time in the season for No. 19 Mizzou wrestling. The last three duals were all blowouts, two in favor of the Tigers and one as the victim against No. 5 Oklahoma State. There are three more duals left in the regular season, all against high-quality Big 12 opponents. Mizzou is coming […]
When 7th year 25 year olds are mocking 5th year 23 year olds… we’ve jumped the shark on eligibility. The main driver for NCAA related news these days seems to be lawsuits brought about to challenge eligibility rules. Since as long as I can remember the standard 5 years to play 4 seasons has been […]
The Mizzou women’s basketball team defeated Arkansas for the second time this year on Thursday in Fayetteville. While the Tigers ran the Razorbacks off the court in Columbia, it took all 40 minutes to put them away in an 87-82 thriller in Bud Walton Arena. This game was highly competitive from the jump with 11 […]
With the Mizzou Softball season set to kickoff Friday at 9 a.m. against Penn State, it’s time to get busy! Rock M’s softball staff is bigger than ever this season and we hope to provide all the content you need to stay up to date throughout the season. We thought it made sense to do […]
T.O. Barrett’s breakout moment is easy to spot. It played out with five minutes left in regulation against Oklahoma. Missouri trailed by three. Barrett caught a ball reversal in the right slot and waited for Shawn Phillips Jr. to trot up and set a ball screen on the Sooners’ Tae Davis. Barrett didn’t need it. […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about hoops and more Mizzou Basketball’s depth will be tested as the regular season comes down the stretch. In what was expected news, sophomore Annor Boateng has been officially ruled out the rest of the season after sustaining a leg injury in Saturday’s win vs Mississippi State. […]
The Missouri Tigers are set to host the Missouri Invitational that will take place Friday, Feb. 6, at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo. With this being their last home meet of the season, the Tigers are ready to showcase their talent. Meet Schedule The Missouri Invitational features a full day of competition, with field […]
As a chaotic #transferszn seems to finally have come to a close, it’s now time to dig through the rubble, count the casualties and take stock of how it all played out. A larger than normal (or at least exected) wave of young players exited the program through the portal, leaving the Tigers short not […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Athletics. With a slow week start of the week of Mizzou sports, I thought it would be good to draw attention to what else is happening within Mizzou Athletics. (Editor’s note: There are two women’s basketball games, a home track invitational, a men’s basketball […]
