Missouri vs Kansas football Game Week: info, where to watch, predictions
Look, plenty has been said over the last few years, and even this week, about the matchup against our rivals to the west. I think last year, getting to dig into the historical context was a bit helpful for me. I scroll the social media posts, and see what fans say back and forth, and […]
Mizzou Football’s rivalry with kansas needs to become more one-sided
It sort of feels like the operating mode for Mizzou Football these days is, “aspirational.” And having aspirations in college football today looks much different than it did 20 years ago. Twenty years ago, Mizzou Football’s aspirations were to be competitive near the top of the Big 12 and maybe challenge for a BCS game […]

Mizzou Run Game Looks to Lift Efficiency Following Season Opener
The Missouri offense dealt with its fair share of issues in 2025.

Just about the only aspect of the Tigers’ […]

The Tigers open […]
Mizzou should prioritize the Border War on the gridiron

The Revue: No reward for UAPB’s courageous lions
When’s the last time you watched The Wizard of Oz? Personally, I’ve never cared for the Golden Age classic in any of its forms. Not even the one where you get high and sync it up to Dark Side of the Moon. But last year, I got curious again. It’d been approximately 25 years since […]
In Good Hands: Does Missouri’s backcourt have reliable on-ball creation?
Eight years ago, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton took an unorthodox approach to roster construction: What if the Seminoles didn’t use a point guard? Or at least not in the typical sense.

Several players made their debut for Mizzou, while more saw an increased role. One game […]
Beyond the Box Score: Pass
At this time last year I was inundated with philosophy while processing the random injury losses of Sam Horn and Blake Craig and how the tiny decisions that led to their demise could potentially impact the rest of the season. Thankfully, I don’t need to do that this year. Arkansas-Pine Bluff has been a bad […]

Tiger Top Spin: Get to Know Goodman: Inside the coach building Mizzou tennis from the ground up
The Missouri Tennis Complex was quiet when Robin Goodman and I began walking through it. There were no dual matches underway. No crowd gathered around the courts.
