A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Ahmad Hardy Another media outlet, another All-American honor for Ahmad Hardy. The star-studded running back was named an ESPN All-American, landing on their first-team. From ESPN: Perhaps no running back in the country was more difficult to tackle this fall than Hardy, who emerged as the […]
There’s usually a moment during the game where I catch a feeling of how the rest of the game will go, if it’s a close game. The fast break dunk, the corner three, the steal and a layup… something that gives you the foresight of a win or a loss. Sometimes that moment is sooner […]
Mizzou added another depth piece to its defensive front last week with the commitment of Cavan Tuley, a linebacker-turned-edge defender from the University of Houston who figures to help fortify special teams and provide valued rotational support in 2026. Tuley, a 6-2, 255-pound East Texas native, played in 11 of 12 games for the Cougars […]
Last week Mizzou women’s basketball won its first game of conference play, dismantling Arkansas at home 94-69. But the Tigers couldn’t complete the sweep as a poor fourth quarter at Florida resulted in an 18-point loss. Now, Kellie Harper’s team has a chance to pile on some wins with a pair of home games in […]
When I say the word, “cornerback,” who comes to your mind? Deion Sanders? Charles Woodson? Champ Bailey? Willie Brown? It’s probably the era I grew up in, but Richard Sherman is enshrined in my head forever as the idyllic corner. Tall, physical, fast, braggadocios: He had everything you want for a guy whose job it […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou’s late night matchup against Georgia at home. In a game that had a lot of play into whether the Tigers would be on the right or wrong side of the bubble, Mizzou fell just short against the Bulldogs dropping to 3-3 in conference play […]
Missouri men’s basketball has faced plenty of ups and downs over its first six games of conference play. The Tigers provided a crucial boost to their tournament hopes by recording wins over quality opponents in Florida, Kentucky and Auburn. But MU also suffered letdown road losses against struggling Ole Miss and LSU teams, tempering hopes […]

The Missouri Tigers have landed an impact cornerback via the transfer portal. With Toriano Pride Jr., Dreyden Norwood, and Stephen Hall out of eligibility — cornerback has become a position of need for Eli Drinkwitz and the staff. Mizzou was able to land Chris Graves Jr. from Ole Miss — per Chris Hummer of 247Sports. […]
You know what the real football freaks get excited for in the transfer window? Special teams additions. Forget Austin Simmons. Show me a Cavan Tuley. Show me a Brunno Reus. Reus, a former 5-star Kohl’s recruit as both a kicker and punter, signed with Missouri out of the portal this January, coming from a Florida […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Hoops It’s been an up and down start for Missouri Basketball in SEC play with the Tigers currently sitting at 3-2 in the league with notable wins over Florida, Kentucky, and Auburn — but questionable losses to Ole Miss and LSU. At the very least, […]
Signs of high-quality wrestling programs are upset ability and handling business against unranked teams. N0. 18 Mizzou wrestling has lacked in the former this season, but its ability to put away the programs it’s supposed to has been a constant strength. After finishing first in their final regular season tournament, the Soldier Salute, the Tigers […]
Mizzou hasn’t slowed down on its recruiting trail and it feels like Auburn, Alabama, has been a topic of interest for Drinkwitz and company. They’ve successfully converted three Tigers over from Auburn and they all could be instant impact players for Mizzou down the line. The Tigers have picked up three players off the bad […]
Mizzou continues to rebuild its offensive line depth through the transfer portal, prioritizing Power Four experience over all else. On Monday morning, the Tigers seemingly locked down another piece of the 2026 puzzle with the addition of Zack Owens, the second Mississippi State starter to transfer to Mizzou this offseason. Owens, who has two years […]
I’ll be honest, my fellow Mizzou gymthusiasts… This one was a struggle for me to write, as my original idea, thought of in the immediate aftermath of the meet, was titled “What Could Have Been.” In fact, I had this very conversation with a booster member as I made my way across the competition floor […]
On January 26th, 2019, LSU head coach Ed Orgeron hired NFL assistant coach Joe Brady to be the Tiger’s passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. Under 1st-year offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger, the LSU offense had been predictably excellent at running the ball but completely scatter shot when attempting to utilize Ohio State transfer Joe […]
Starting off the SEC basketball season, if I’d have told you Missouri would be 1-2 on the road, I’m sure we’d all have guessed the one win was at Kentucky, right? It is disappointing to start off with a big road win over a program like Kentucky, only to follow up with losses to teams […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about commitments. No, not the transfer kind. The kind we used to get excited about. The transfer portal closed on Friday evening, meaning players are now locked into their teams with a few exceptions. There are still plenty of players available, so we doubt Mizzou is totally […]
It may be portal season, but that doesn’t mean the wheels of high school recruiting stop turning. Three-star cornerback Trashundon Neal became the second high school recruit to announce his commitment to Mizzou on Sunday. The Tigers’ newest commit had interest from other local power conference programs, namely Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State, and […]
These days, we expect all commitments to Mizzou’s program to be from the transfer ranks. But Eli Drinkwitz is still innovating in the way he builds his roster. For the second time this month, Mizzou has added late-breaking prospect to its 2026 recruiting class. This time, Lee’s Summit WR Karsten Fiene has flipped his commitment […]
Mizzou women’s basketball had an unsuccessful road trip to Gainesville, losing to Florida 89-71. A disastrous first quarter made the difference for the Tigers, trailing by 18 points after the first 10 minutes. It started from tipoff, as the Gators opened the game on an 11-0 run in the first three minutes to force a […]
After the departures of Zion Young due to graduation alongside Damon Wilson and Nate Johnson in the transfer portal, Eli Drinkwitz and Corey Batoon had their work cut out for them in remaking Mizzou’s edge rusher rotation this offseason. The reconstruction of the position group is still ongoing, but the Tigers took an important first […]
Basketball has been a driving force in Shannon Dowell’s life from the moment she knew how to walk. It has influenced her family relationships, her friendships and led her to the Mizzou women’s basketball team. The sport runs in the Dowell family so it was introduced to Shannon at a young age. She learned from […]
Maybe it was home-court advantage, a curse, even voodoo. Whatever the story may be, the Missouri Tigers seemed without a pulse for nearly forty minutes inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Saturday afternoon. Dennis Gates has only been able to claim victory once in Baton Rouge, and history from three years ago unfortunately would […]
