A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
In year one under Kellie Harper, Mizzou women’s basketball is already off to a hot start. At the end of non-conference play, the Tigers are sitting at 12-3 for their best record entering SEC play since 2022-23. But this has come with several close calls, including single-digit wins against the likes of Central Arkansas, SIUE […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Football! Numerous players from Mizzou’s 2025 roster are hitting the transfer portal this offseason and Tuesday was a day to remember. Redshirt sophomore Johnny Williams IV and redshirt junior Jayven Richardson announced plans to enter the transfer portal early in the day, and redshirt […]
With NCAA Gymnastics season just around the corner, it’s time to look at the new national qualifying scores (NQS) formula that will be used this season. On November 26, the National Collegiate Women’s Gymnastics Committee announced that new qualifications will take effect for the 2026 season, as reported on by College Gym News. While last […]
In the first year of new coach Kellie Harper, Mizzou women’s basketball is off to a strong start at the conclusion of non-conference play. The Tigers are 12-3, their best start since the 2022-23 season. In addition, this has come with a tougher schedule, finishing the slate with a 2-2 record against power opponents. Here’s […]
There are folks out there that love a good defensive slugfest. I am not one of them. But even if I was, I’m not sure the 2025 Gator Bowl would qualify as such. There was certainly one side that did its part: Missouri’s defense stymied Virginia all night. I know the Mizzou online collective were […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking more about LB3. As a St. Louis area native, it’s been difficult to be interested in the NFL for quite some time — but Luther Burden III has changed things. In case if you missed it on Sunday night — LB3 put on a show for the […]
I’m sure you’ve gotten sick of me talking about “moments” and features over the past few months – but that’s what sports is all about. Yeah, action photos are awesome and remind you of those big plays. Without features though, there’s no sense of environment that brings you back into those (here’s that word again…) […]
The Missouri Tigers were looking for their third straight bowl win in three straight seasons in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Saturday night against No. 19 Virginia. Unfortunately, that wasn’t meant to be as Mizzou fell to UVA by the final score of 13-7 in a low scoring affair — ending an otherwise underwhelming season […]
Chip Lindsey is Missouri’s newest offensive coordinator and I am extremely skeptical of this hire. To put it nicely. In order to show you why I think this/talk myself into this hire, I’m going to review his resume and offer a break out of how he’s done at each job he’s had previously. I am […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute I feel like I’m writing a lot about Luther Burden in my commutes lately. Maybe I’m going soft and am starting to like the NFL again. Or maybe I’m glomming onto the Bears because I want so badly for LB3 to succeed. Can’t tell yet. We’ll figure it out together, […]
Entering the Gator Bowl, questions loomed over Mizzou regarding a misshapen offense. Matt Zollers was thrown into the starting role once again after Beau Pribula entered the transfer portal last week. Additionally, Kirby Moore departed the program after taking the head coaching position at Washington State. The cherry on top? Starting TE Brett Norfleet and […]
It took Mizzou women’s basketball 45 minutes to finally put away Kansas City 71-67 in overtime. The Tigers went on a 7-3 run to open the overtime period highlighted by Chloe Sotell’s seventh and final triple. They held this lead until the very end despite the Roos bringing it as close as one with 11 […]
I was looking forward to the Taxslayer Gator Bowl, if you can believe it. Maybe it was a month of watching Missouri basketball that got me excited about switching up the viewing to something else. After all, it’s been a rough month (really, two) of Mizzou Basketball, and the last time we saw the Tigers […]
Mizzou’s 2026 season ends with an 8-5 record after losing the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl to Virginia. Missing a host of offensive players to transfers and injury, Mizzou’s offense failed to put up any points after the opening drive, making Virginia’s lone touchdown and two field goals enough to come out on top. Here are your […]
The Missouri Tigers closed their 2025 season with a 13-7 loss Saturday night to Virginia at the Gator Bowl. MU held the lead into the second half, but a last-ditch comeback attempt fell short as the team’s offense struggled to generate momentum after finding early success. “This is going to stick with me for a […]
The Taxslayer Gator Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. between the Virginia Cavaliers and the Missouri Tigers. Eli Drinkwitz and crew will be without offensive coordinator Kirby Moore who departed for Washington State and QB Beau Pribula who hit the portal after one year with the program. In at QB is freshman Matt Zollers who […]
The Gator Bowl hosted a fireside chat Friday morning with Eli Drinkwitz and Virginia head coach Tony Elliott, beginning with a talk between the two and a moderator before opening up to questions from the press. Here’s what Drinkwitz said about the matchup, who would play for the Tigers against the Cavaliers, and more: Eli […]
WELCOME BACK TO PREGAMIN’, HERE’S YOUR JAM OF THE WEEK NICE TO SEE YA, JACKSONVILLE Rock M-ixology I made a few cocktails this week, but let’s be honest, there’s only one thing I’m really drinking with real consistency this time of year: Eggnog. Apologies if you’re not a fan, but I’m crushing that nog with […]
Delusional as it sounds, there was a fleeting moment on Monday night where Missouri could have put No. 20 Illinois on tilt. With 10:05 left in the first half, point guard Kylan Boswell picked up his second foul and trotted to the bench. A minute later, junior wing Andrej Stojaković pulled up lame and took […]

An onslaught of bad news hit Missouri sports fans over the past few weeks. Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL before the Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs for the first time in a decade, then the organization announced its intention to move out of Arrowhead and across the state line. The Cardinals traded away one […]
In the ever-changing landscape of college athletics (and college football especially) bowl games have taken a far back seat in terms of importance and fan interest. From player opt-outs to playoff talk taking all the oxygen from the room, it can be hard to put much passion into what is (and has always been) a […]
