Eli Drinkwitz’s seventh season at Mizzou is his riskiest yet
Nearly seven years into his Columbia tenure, what do we know about Eli Drinkwitz? We know he loves a Diet Coke. I’m more of a Coke Zero guy, but we’re all addicted to the chemicals of our choosing. We know he’s a bit of a troll. And while I might find it a bit distasteful […]
Notebook: Observations and Updates From Tigers’ First Fall Camp Practice

Tiger Top Spin: Expectations should center on progress, not wins, for Missouri tennis
Winning won’t be the only gauge of improvement for Missouri tennis this season.
