Commute: Fighting to keep Batoon?

Corey Batoon could be a domino to fall within the college coaching carousel. It’s true! Obviously nobody is pushing Batoon out the door, he’s been lights out for Eli Drinkwitz since Blake Baker left for LSU. Missouri’s defense finished 13th in SP+ this year and ended on a high note after blanking a potent Arkansas […]

Study Hall: Notre Dame 76, Mizzou 71

Taking a night to think on this a bit more is good for my mental health. Watching Mizzou basketball over the years is not something I would recommend as a fix for any mental health ailments, mind you. Most sporting events, if you have fandom on the line, are a tough watch. And this game […]

Disrespectful Play Index: Ahmad Hardy saves the best for last

I don’t mean to blasphemy this close to Christmas, but there was something about Ahmad Hardy’s best run of the season that was more than a little Christ-like. In John 2 of the Christian Bible, Jesus attends a wedding where after a long amount of time, the wine begins to run out. Jesus, mensch that […]

The Art of the Leo

I love a uniform. I want to analyze it, pick it apart and give my otherwise non-expert opinion on what my teams are wearing in all sports, so it should come as no surprise that I do the same thing for Mizzou Gym leotards. But I wanted to do more than just see them close […]

National Signing Day 2026: Tigers look to sign another Top 25 class

Remember a few months ago when we were worried about Eli Drinkwitz’s high school recruiting bonafides? That was a fun time, huh? Mizzou’s newly-extended head coach has worked through a lot of flaws since he arrived in Columbia, but one thing he’s never struggled with has been connecting with high school recruits. He and his […]

Beyond The Box Score: Are You Not Entertained?

Run. The. Ball. Has that been the most common complaint this year? It feels like it, yeah? We’d watch Missouri’s offense attempt some obvious play-action boot to the short side of the field or deep shots to the sideline with very little help of being caught (unless you’re Donovan Olugbode) and then the internet collective […]

The Revue: Ahmad Hardy rides his War Horse to victory

I am, it may not interest you to find out, not a horse person. I have nothing against them, personally. In fact, I find them to be fascinating creatures in a vacuum. They’re very strong and useful creatures and the line of recorded human history suggests that humans and horses have a way of developing […]

It was cold, rainy and hope was fading as the first half came to a conclusion in Arkansas. After an opening drive touchdown for Mizzou, the momentum slowed in the second quarter. The Tigers could only manage 34 yards on the ground and starting quarterback Beau Pribula only managed two yards in the air. Alongside […]

Pourover: The thin margins in the SEC

I decided to celebrate last night. Celebrate the conclusion of a successful season. Celebrate a team predicted to finish 12th in the league and finished tied for 8th. Celebrate a team most forgot about, who despite a potential starting quarterback being injured on his first play from scrimmage, and the starting kicker being hurt in […]
