A Blog for Ol' Mizzou
For many years I’ve been doing previews of both Missouri’s football team and its opponents heading into a given season. And one of the more notable stats that I cite is “returning production”. As usual, my guidance stems from our dearly beloved blogfather Bill C. and his five factors that contribute to his SP+ rating […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Softball’s stretch run After a much-needed win over Top-10 Arkansas on Sunday to avoid the sweep, Mizzou Softball’s postseason hopes are still alive. With four games remaining in the regular season, the Tigers are 26-26 overall (8-13 SEC). For a chance at a regional appearance, […]
While I took a little trip down to the bootheel for a Missourian story this week, Margo was on a roll covering Mizzou sports! On Wednesday, she covered softball’s 7-0 win over SIUE, then again on Friday as baseball fell to Arkansas 6-0, and again on Saturday for volleyball’s Mizzou Tournament. Keep reading to see […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about all the new Mizzou Tigers in the National Football League! If you were paying attention to our website – or, you know, the draft – the past few days, you’ll have noticed that the Tigers had a nice run on days two and three in Pittsburgh, […]
For the second day in a row, Eli Drinkwitz and the staff have landed an in-state commitment to add to their 2027 recruiting class. This one comes from the Kansas City area. Caleb Green, a three-star linebacker from Lee’s Summit North has announced his commitment to Missouri. He’s the younger brother of current offensive tackle […]
In what felt like a win-or-go-home situation for Mizzou Softball, the Tigers got the job done against No. 6 Arkansas thanks to a three-run homer from Sidney Forrester and a masterclass pitching performance by Cierra Harrison in relief to close out a 3-1 Mizzou win on Sunday at Bogle Park. While the Game 3 result […]
Todd Schaefer is one of the top offensive minds in NCAA women’s basketball. Schaefer has worked with some of the best pure scorers in the game including WNBA star Kelsey Plum, Minnesota Lynx rookie Saylor Poffenbarger and now Grace Slaughter at Mizzou. Both his office and his Columbia apartment are stocked with play designs and […]
The Mizzou volleyball team wrapped up its spring season by hosting the Mizzou Invitational on Saturday. The Tigers competed in three matches against SIUE, Kansas City and Saint Louis. Here’s what I learned in my return to the Hearnes Center after getting a preview of (most of) the 2026 team. Leading Liberos For the first […]
It had been 715 days since Missouri baseball had last tasted a Southeastern Conference victory at Taylor Stadium. 1,491 days marked the last time the Tigers had bested Arkansas. Both of those streaks ended in Mizzou’s 6-0 victory on Saturday afternoon at Taylor Stadium. Another monkey off the Tigers’ back? Their recent nine-game losing streak, […]
Missouri track & field delivered a strong showing during day four of the Drake Relays, claiming two program records and placing nearly every athlete in the top-10 in Des Moines, Iowa. Day Four Tiger Highlights Tresnjo’s High Jump Achievement Sophomore Marlena Tresnjo took an astonishing third place finish in the women’s high jump, with her […]
A successful NFL Draft for the Mizzou Football program continues. Last night, there were four Missouri players selected in the Top 100 for just the second time in program history. On Saturday, Kevin Coleman Jr. was the fifth Missouri Tiger selected. Coleman is headed to the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round with the 177th […]
Back at Bogle Park for a packed Game 2, the Missouri Tigers, now 24-25 record on the season with five regular season games left, wasted a strong pitching performance by senior Cierra Harrison, with a very leaky bullpen performance and an inability of the Tiger offense, outside of the freshmen, to get anything going against […]
For the second time in program history, Mizzou Football had four players selected in the Top 100 of the NFL Draft on Friday night. That can’t be bad for a recruiting pitch. On Saturday, Eli Drinkwitz and the staff have added to their 2027 class by continuing their in-state recruiting momentum. Three-star safety Keiran Govan […]
Mizzou baseball’s recent struggles continued Friday evening with a 6-0 loss against No. 24 Arkansas. The defeat clinches a third straight series loss in Southeastern Conference play and leaves the Tigers without an SEC win at home since their 12-11 victory over Auburn in May. 10 2024. The Tigers will have one more chance to […]
In one world, Mizzou ended day two of the 2026 NFL Draft with only one selection. In this world, however, they’ve got four. Trost became the fourth player to be selected on day two, going to the Los Angeles Rams with the 93rd overall pick. It’s a bit higher than many draft boards had him, […]
For the third time in about an hour, Mizzou has heard its name called on one of the NFL’s biggest nights. Chris McClellan is going to be a Green Bay Packer. McClellan became the Tigers’ key piece at defensive tackle as a senior, starting every regular season game and tallying 48 tackles with six sacks […]
Mizzou had to wait until pick 45 to get someone drafted this year. It didn’t have to wait long until a second followed. With the 46th pick in the NFL Draft, Tampa Bay selected Josiah Trotter. Trotter chose to forego his final two years of eligibility following a standout season with MU, being named First […]
Defensive end Zion Young has been the first Missouri Tiger selected in this year’s NFL Draft. Young will be headed to Baltimore in the 2nd with the 45th overall pick. Young spent two seasons with Missouri after his first two years at Michigan State. In his senior season at Mizzou, Young played in all 13 […]
Missouri track & field rose to the occasion at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa so far this week, highlighted by four championship winners and a slate of top-10 finishes. Top Performances Thus Far Utecht’s Heptathlon Achievements Brianna Utecht delivered a strong all-around performance to finish fourth in the heptathlon with 5,462 points, marking […]
Arkansas jumped out to an early lead, scoring three runs in the first inning. While they added an insurance run in the fourth, they never needed it. Mizzou softball scored no runs, falling in the series opener 4-0. The Mizzou offense struggled all game, finishing with only four hits while hitting 1-11 with runners on […]
On its own, having a standard 5 years to play 5 seasons of NCAA sports makes sense, but how do you implement this change without causing chaos? Or lawsuits? If it feels like the transfer portal season has been wild, it’s been actually far calmer than previous years… but one thing that could throw it […]
With windy conditions playing a noticeable role throughout the night, Mizzou fell to Arkansas, marking their eighth straight loss despite a strong outing from starting pitcher Josh McDevitt and an explosive start at the plate. “We have to play better baseball,” head coach Kerrick Jackson said. “We can’t make some of the mistakes that we […]
Missouri baseball returns to SEC play this weekend with yet another test coming to Columbia, the No. 24-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks, who have lots to play for coming into this series and have been a beacon of consistency in the SEC since 2017. The Tigers host the No. 24-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks for a 3-game series lasting […]
You have been with me for as long as I can remember. Before I knew what college gymnastics meant. Before I knew what the SEC was. Before I knew how much you would shape who I am. You gave me structure. You gave me discipline. You gave me some of my closest friendships and the […]
“Thirty-two teams, seven rounds, 224 young men who, today, are about to become players in the National Football League. A day where lives are changed, fates are decided, dynasties are born, and the clock is always ticking. Of course, I’m talking about… Draft Day.” Chris Berman opens the 2014 film Draft Day, starring Chadwick Boseman, […]
