Missouri vs Mississippi State football Game Week: info, where to watch, predictions
Of all the teams in the SEC I enjoy playing the least, Mississippi State is probably right there at the top of the list. No offense to the fans of the Bulldogs, or the fine people of Starkville. There’s just very little to no interest or history in this matchup. They also don’t carry the […]

The 2026 Recruiting Class Looks to Change the Culture of Mizzou Soccer
Mizzou soccer gets even younger as it adds a five-woman high school recruiting class to the program. The class consists of midfielders Lana Adams, Petra Bandula and Rylie Morse, and forwards Audrey Gilbert and Aisling Meehan.

Missouri Football Week 12 Bowl Projections: Mizzou Officially Out of CFP Race
With three games remaining in the regular season, Missouri is 6-3 (2-3 SEC) and officially eliminated from the 12-team College Football Playoff.

Study Hall: Mizzou 83, Minnesota 60
I’ll be honest. I’m not sure what to make of this team yet. I was pretty sure they’d be good heading into the season, but wasn’t sure how good. I thought they had the talent and depth to contend for a top four finish in the league. But so far this season they’ve been down […]

Donovan Olugbode elevates performance as Mizzou offense searches for answers
Missouri’s College Football Playoff hopes ended last Saturday in a dull thud against Texas A&M as the Tigers offense failed to gain any forward momentum for much of the contest.

Breaking down the 2027 recruiting board — and the next phase of Mizzou’s roster strategy
When Scottie Adkinson committed to Missouri in early July, the decision swiftly concluded any intrigue around whether the Tigers would secure a keystone for the 2027 recruiting cycle. After the Webster Groves combo guard committed, the next question was logical: Could MU add Chase Branham, a top-40 prospect from Logan-Rogersville, and forge an in-state duo? […]

Mizzou races past Minnesota in second half, wins 83-60
Sometimes, one small stretch of a game is so overwhelmingly one-sided that it determines the result of the full contest.

Two poems that I often see quoted by sportswriters: “Do not go gentle into that good night,” by Dylan Thomas and, “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” by Alfred, Lord Tenyson.
