Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Zion Young. Mizzou’s Zion Young topped our latest MV3 following the double-overtime road win over Auburn. He put together a stat-line of five total tackles (3 s0l0), two sacks, and 2.5 TFLs. To no one’s surprise, that earned him SEC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week honors […]

With Hannah out of town, we reached out to other Mizzou J-Schoolers for photography help for a couple of Olympic Sports contests. On Friday, Corinna Utterback shot the Mizzou-Ole Miss volleyball game, and on Sunday, freshman Margo Jenkins shot what will be the first of many events for us as she went to the Mizzou-Arkansas […]

Remember last night? I’m trying not to. Feel like I got drunk and then someone hit me over the head with a brick. And then made me watch an Auburn football game.

The Atlanta native, playing two hours away from his hometown, was one of the players selected to represent Mizzou in the overtime coin toss at midfield Saturday night against Auburn.

I’ve been on vacation all week so you’ll excuse me as I get back into things. I thought a good way to get back into the flow would be to spend my day watching college football. I mostly settled into LSU-Vanderbilt, and Georgia-Ole Miss, both before the Mizzou-Auburn game. Watching Ole Miss and Georgia battle […]
