Beyond the Box Score: 2015

Look…I’m not asking for much. From the moment I saw Beau Pribula face down in the Vanderbilt turf, any fleeting thought of Playoffs, conference championships, and 30 wins in 3 years went right out of my mental window. No college team can do that sort of thing with a 3rd-string freshman quarterback and I went […]

The Revue: Oops, Mizzou gave me an existential crisis again!

There comes a point during every Mizzou Football season when it becomes very difficult to write this column. I’ve found this to be the case regardless of how well the Tigers are playing, though it certainly comes sooner when they suck. After all, who wants to read the, “hey want to read some stuff about […]

Week 12 Opening Odds: Can Mizzou stop the slide?

All of the sudden, it’s been almost a month since Mizzou won a football game. That’s sort of hard to fathom. For the past two and a half years, we’ve become pretty used to Mizzou winning most of their games. You have to go back to early October 2022 for the last time the Tigers […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 106, VMI 68

It’s never easy to watch the other team go bombs away, especially when a healthier clip of them are going in that might normally. That was the case for Missouri as they saw VMI connect on 9 of 22 three points in the first half, en route to the Keydets only being down 10 points. […]

Luther Burden returns from injury, helps Bears to big win

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Luther Burden III. Because football is better in Chicago these days than in Columbia (unfortunately).

Expectations shift for Mizzou after loss to A&M

Mizzou entered Saturday holding onto its College Football Playoff hopes by the slimmest of margins, hoping to pull off an upset of third-ranked Texas A&M and stay in the chase for at least one more week.

After a last-ditch effort to force overtime fell one inch short two weeks ago against Vanderbilt in a 17-10 loss, Mizzou’s margin of error to reach the College Football Playoff dropped to zero.

Study Hall: Mizzou 89, SEMO 84

If you’re having the feeling of déjà vu that’s because we’ve been here before. For three plus years now, Dennis Gates has preferred to load up on Quad 4 games in November.
