Pretty good! But there was something about his dominance on Saturday night that felt a little clinical. You know […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 91, Prairie View A&M 73

Beyond The Box Score: Bully

Even as the guy who was looking for some developmental work for Matt Zollers… and the guy who had written off any weight to wins and losses… and the guy who thinks run-oriented offenses are just less fun than pass-oriented offenses…I will admit— the Mississippi State win was enjoyable. Yeah, it was closer than we […]

There’s a […]

Week 13 Opening Odds: Mizzou’s shot at CFP chaos

You don’t get opportunities like this very often. If you’d asked most Mizzou fans at the beginning of the year, the opportunity to play spoiler to Oklahoma’s seemingly iron clad College Football Playoff case would’ve been… let’s call it a secondary goal.

Mizzou volleyball upset by Alabama 3-1 in regular season finale

After splitting the first two sets, back-to-back losses meant doom for Mizzou as they lost to Alabama 17-25, 25-16, 16-25, 23-25.
