A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
As the clocks fall back, Mizzou volleyball fell flat on its face in a 3-2 loss against Vanderbilt 24-26, 25-13, 25-23, 25-21, 14-16; a team that had previously only won a single SEC match. The Tigers were playing from behind all match with a two-set deficit, and they just didn’t have enough left in the […]
Before last season, Mizzou needed to erase the dread from the 2023-24 season. The mission was mostly accomplished. The Tigers got back to the NCAA Tournament, but they lost a frustrating game to Drake. Entering this season, the Big Dance appears to be a reasonable expectation. Whether Mizzou gets there or not depends on a […]
I guess I’m turning this into an annual tradition. Bill C. used to do a ‘Count the Ifs’ post before each football season, and once Nate came on board he took it over and has kept the tradition going with aplomb. Last year, I wanted to try the same for basketball. Missouri was coming off […]
The Missouri Tigers welcomed in conference opponent Vanderbilt (women) and D2 McKendree (men/women) to the gorgeous Mizzou Aquatic Center — I love that place and have such fond memories of it from my coaching days — on November 1, and came away with a very convincing sweep in the double dual, with the men beating […]
At 41 years old, Max Scherzer doesn’t have much left to prove. Three Cy Young Awards. Two World Series rings. More than 3,400 strikeouts. A résumé that will walk him into Cooperstown the second he’s eligible. But on Saturday night, under the bright lights of Game 7 in Toronto, Scherzer reminded baseball what his career […]
Missouri Basketball season is here as the Tigers open up their 2025-2026 campaign on Monday at Howard. Despite some question marks entering year four under Dennis Gates — expectations are still high for Mizzou as they return Mark Mitchell and Anthony Robinson II from an NCAA Tournament appearance last season. In our latest SB Nation […]
I hope everyone had a nice quiet week, and a good Halloween last night. Halloween is one of those holidays that seems to have fallen by the wayside a bit for me personally. We live in North St. Louis County now, and have for the last 10 years (if you were unaware), and post-COVID our […]
The only thing scarier than the Boogeyman this Halloween is how red hot the Mizzou volleyball team has become. The Tigers extended their winning streak to seven with a 3-1 win over No. 16 Tennessee 25-21, 23-25, 25-23, 25-17. The two teams were almost identical in every category, but Mizzou was much more efficient on […]
WELCOME BACK TO PREGAMIN’ HERE’S YOUR JAM OF THE WEEK HAPPY HALLOWEEN, HAVE A RESTFUL AND CHILL WEEKEND, MY FRIENDS Rock M-ixology So there you are. It’s Halloween, and not everyone coming over to your party is a beer/bourbon fan. I get it, pleasing everyone can be hard, especially when it comes to alcohol. You […]
The Tigers finished fifth overall in both the men’s and women’s races at the SEC Championships Friday in Knoxville, Tenn., with 16 schools competing. Freshmen Drew Rogers and Monica Wanjiku deliver standout performances, as they continue to lead their team with strong showings. “When you’re consistent, I think that that allows you to go into […]
The recruiting heater hasn’t shown any signs of stopping as the Tigers flipped another recruit, three star cornerback Jaxson Gates, to add a 21st piece to their Class of 2026. The news came on Halloween, and safe to say BYU is spooked. Gates was committed to the Cougars for almost two weeks before flipping his […]
Let’s start with some honesty: The SEC is going to take a step back. That’s inevitable coming off a season where the SEC put 14 teams in the NCAA tournament, nabbed a pair of top seeds, sent two teams to the Final Four, and saw Florida claim a national title. But if you checked in […]

If you are new to collegiate wrestling, refer here and here for an informative rundown on the sport. It was a frustrating and uncharacteristic 2024-25 season for the Tigers […]
It hasn’t been a slow week, with the football team in a bye week. There’s been plenty to talk about. From Eli Drinkwitz being the topic of many fan message boards at places like LSU, Florida, and Penn State, to the questions around a freshman quarterback taking over for the injured Beau Pribula. But for […]
The Mizzou volleyball team has rebuilt its season from the ground up, winning the last six matches in a row. The Tigers are now 6-4 in the SEC and currently the No. 7 team in the conference. For the most part the team has done this against lower-level opponents, with all six wins coming against […]

Each preview is fully available to the general public, and not just for subscribers. The videos range in length from about 15 minutes to 30 minutes, and they’re chalk full of […]
Or, why I spend so much time looking at the rest of the SEC. Also, Happy Halloween! I can be accused of being a bit of a homer, viewing things with Mizzou basketball with rose-colored glasses. A large part of that comes from me just wanting to enjoy my sports fandom, and doom and gloom […]
After Missouri’s 17-10 loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday, Mizzou’s College Football Playoff chances took a major hit. Are the Tigers officially eliminated yet? Well, not quite — but let’s be honest — it’s a long shot entering their final four games of the regular season. There’s still a lot to play for, however. Three-straight 10-win […]
The NCAA National Championship returned to an SEC school for the first time since Kentucky won everything in 2012, thanks to the Florida Gators. A trendy pick to finish inside the top 4 of the league, Florida flew under the radar for much of the season thanks in part to, well, not playing anybody. While […]
With the completion of Mizzou’s second trimester of the 2025 season, I felt like it would be a good time to take a look at how the Tigers’ offense and defense ranks nationally. And not just in your standard stats like total rushing yards or whatever. No. We’re going deeper. Here’s what I got for […]

From a trainwreck to the Sweet 16 is how the Arkansas Razorbacks 2024-25 season went from start to finish. John Calipari arrived in Fayetteville with no roster, built through the portal and tacked on most of his recruiting class from Kentucky. All Calipari did was follow recent seasons for the Hogs by underachieving throughout most […]
