After a bye week to hopefully get ahold of itself, Missouri heads South for a big game, taking on the SEC East-leading No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs (6 p.m. on ESPN) in Athens. As horrendous as Missouri’s last two games were, this is the kind of game you get excited for. November is the most important
Stephen Foster wrote that the sun shone bright on the old Kentucky home, but that was pretty much the opposite of Missouri’s experience in the Bluegrass State Saturday night. Rain pelted down on the proceedings, wind whipped through Kroger Field, and Missouri suffered yet another embarrassing loss, this time 29-7 to Kentucky. Coupled with the
What a disaster. One week after Missouri roared into first place in the SEC East and debuted in AP poll at No. 22, the Tigers traveled to Nashville as a heavy favorite, and somehow lost 21-14 to a previously reeling and punchless Vanderbilt team. Missouri (5-2, 2-1 in SEC) started slow, and then never really
Columbia is at its best during football game weekends, and the town might reach its peak on Homecoming weekend, the annual celebration of all things Mizzou. The years melt away for alumni returning to familiar old locations. This year the Tigers put on a show for the big Homecoming crowd, winning 38-27 against the Ole
Missouri rolled to another dominating win on Saturday, 42-10 over Troy at Faurot Field. But it came at cost, as star linebacker Cale Garrett was lost for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Also, quarterback Kelly Bryant had an injury scare, but he sounds like he’ll be able to play next week, although it’s
A third of the way into Missouri’s regular season, the Tigers still seem to have the potential for a memorable season, even if that seemed in doubt after a surprising season-opening loss at Wyoming. First, it hardly seems fair that the regular season is already a third of the way over, but that seems to
The Mayor’s Cup rivalry trophy made a one-way trip last weekend. On Saturday Missouri beat South Carolina 34-14, the Tigers’ first win over the Gamecocks since 2015. That meant the silver cup would be spending the year in the Columbia in Missouri for a change, after a long stay in Columbia, South Carolina. A dominant
Missouri had a nearly flawless evening at Faurot Field last Saturday, racing to a 27-0 lead in less than 10 minutes and winning 50-0 against Southeast Missouri in Memorial Stadium’s 500th game. The Tigers (2-1) were playing an overmatched opponent, with SEMO coming from the Football Championship Subdivison, a level below Mizzou. But that first
On Saturday, Missouri did what it was supposed to do and then some, rolling to a 38-7 win over West Virginia in Columbia. The Tigers (1-1) were two-touchdown favorites against the Mountaineers (1-1), and they went right to work making this a non-competitive afternoon in the sun at Faurot Field. Missouri led 10-0 after the
For Tiger fans who made the trip out West to Laramie for Missouri’s season opening game on Saturday at Wyoming, it may have felt a bit like a dream when the mountains along I-80 beyond Cheyenne opened up and revealed a dramatic view of the Laramie Valley. Laramie is something of a hidden treasure, a
