Earlier this month I sat down with fellow Rock M volleyball enthusiasts Colin Simmons and Matthew Gustafson along with KCOU Service to Seven host Jeffrey Calhoun to discuss the 2025 Mizzou volleyball season. The team fell just short of the NCAA Tournament due to several key losses in the final month of the season. With […]

Pedigree can only take a program so far in college sports, and Tiger Style is facing one of its most challenging stretches under head coach Brian Smith. Dating back to the 2024-25 regular season, where Mizzou finished 5-10, Smith has faced a more treacherous path than ever since taking charge of the program in 1998. […]

The transfer portal opens this week. And if we know anything about Mizzou’s staff, we know they’ll be active. Mizzou just wrapped up a somewhat disappointing 8-5 season, and they’ll lose some key members that got them to those 8 wins. But there’s also a strong culture and roster platform in place, and Mizzou’s moves […]

In year one under Kellie Harper, Mizzou women’s basketball is already off to a hot start. At the end of non-conference play, the Tigers are sitting at 12-3 for their best record entering SEC play since 2022-23.

There are folks out there that love a good defensive slugfest. I am not one of them. But even if I was, I’m not sure the 2025 Gator Bowl would qualify as such. There was certainly one side that did its part: Missouri’s defense stymied Virginia all night. I know the Mizzou online collective were […]

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking more about LB3. As a St. Louis area native, it’s been difficult to be interested in the NFL for quite some time — but Luther Burden III has changed things. In case if you missed it on Sunday night — LB3 put on a show for the […]

I’m sure you’ve gotten sick of me talking about “moments” and features over the past few months – but that’s what sports is all about. Yeah, action photos are awesome and remind you of those big plays. Without features though, there’s no sense of environment that brings you back into those (here’s that word again…) […]

The Missouri Tigers were looking for their third straight bowl win in three straight seasons in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Saturday night against No. 19 Virginia. Unfortunately, that wasn’t meant to be as Mizzou fell to UVA by the final score of 13-7 in a low scoring affair — ending an otherwise underwhelming season […]

Chip Lindsey is Missouri’s newest offensive coordinator and I am extremely skeptical of this hire. To put it nicely. In order to show you why I think this/talk myself into this hire, I’m going to review his resume and offer a break out of how he’s done at each job he’s had previously. I am […]

Welcome to the Morning Commute I feel like I’m writing a lot about Luther Burden in my commutes lately. Maybe I’m going soft and am starting to like the NFL again. Or maybe I’m glomming onto the Bears because I want so badly for LB3 to succeed. Can’t tell yet. We’ll figure it out together, […]

Entering the Gator Bowl, questions loomed over Mizzou regarding a misshapen offense. Matt Zollers was thrown into the starting role once again after Beau Pribula entered the transfer portal last week. Additionally, Kirby Moore departed the program after taking the head coaching position at Washington State. The cherry on top? Starting TE Brett Norfleet and […]

I was looking forward to the Taxslayer Gator Bowl, if you can believe it. Maybe it was a month of watching Missouri basketball that got me excited about switching up the viewing to something else. After all, it’s been a rough month (really, two) of Mizzou Basketball, and the last time we saw the Tigers […]

Mizzou’s 2026 season ends with an 8-5 record after losing the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl to Virginia. Missing a host of offensive players to transfers and injury, Mizzou’s offense failed to put up any points after the opening drive, making Virginia’s lone touchdown and two field goals enough to come out on top. Here are your […]

Delusional as it sounds, there was a fleeting moment on Monday night where Missouri could have put No. 20 Illinois on tilt. With 10:05 left in the first half, point guard Kylan Boswell picked up his second foul and trotted to the bench. A minute later, junior wing Andrej Stojaković pulled up lame and took […]
