At 41 years old, Max Scherzer doesn’t have much left to prove. Three Cy Young Awards. Two World Series rings. More than 3,400 strikeouts.

I hope everyone had a nice quiet week, and a good Halloween last night. Halloween is one of those holidays that seems to have fallen by the wayside a bit for me personally. We live in North St. Louis County now, and have for the last 10 years (if you were unaware), and post-COVID our […]

The only thing scarier than the Boogeyman this Halloween is how red hot the Mizzou volleyball team has become. The Tigers extended their winning streak to seven with a 3-1 win over No. 16 Tennessee 25-21, 23-25, 25-23, 25-17. The two teams were almost identical in every category, but Mizzou was much more efficient on […]

Let’s start with some honesty: The SEC is going to take a step back. That’s inevitable coming off a season where the SEC put 14 teams in the NCAA tournament, nabbed a pair of top seeds, sent two teams to the Final Four, and saw Florida claim a national title. But if you checked in […]

Or, why I spend so much time looking at the rest of the SEC. Also, Happy Halloween! I can be accused of being a bit of a homer, viewing things with Mizzou basketball with rose-colored glasses. A large part of that comes from me just wanting to enjoy my sports fandom, and doom and gloom […]

After Missouri’s 17-10 loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday, Mizzou’s College Football Playoff chances took a major hit. Are the Tigers officially eliminated yet?

The NCAA National Championship returned to an SEC school for the first time since Kentucky won everything in 2012, thanks to the Florida Gators. A trendy pick to finish inside the top 4 of the league, Florida flew under the radar for much of the season thanks in part to, well, not playing anybody. While […]

I hated writing this post. Hated it. Read my Revue and you’ll understand why. It was physically painful to hit ‘play’ on the highlights video for multiple reasons. Saturday’s game was a well-fought battle between two up-and-coming SEC dark horses. But it was also a picture of clinical, unexciting football, especially on Mizzou’s side of […]
