  • Mizzou vs. South Carolina preview, new Ryan Wingo commitment date, Quick Hits, SEC Week 8 games

    It's homecoming season for the school that invited it. We talk about what Mizzou football needs to do to avoid a disaster against South Carolina and give our things to watch for from the Gamecocks including a hot and cold Spencer Rattler, a lackluster running game and an elite weapon at WR in Xavier Legette. Plus we give an injury update on the Tigers. We also talk about all of the Mizzou players on award watch lists including Drinkwitz for Coach of the Year & Luther Burden, Kris Abrams-Draine & Javon Foster land on AP Midseason All-American teams. We also talk about the biggest news of the week as five-star 2024 WR Ryan Wingo moved his commitment date up to Oct. 25, which is EXTREMELY good for his chances of becoming a Tiger (00:00:00-00:29:56).

      • Mizzou is a winner once again, SEC Tier List, Quick Hits, NFL FRAUD! Rankings: Week 6

        We do our SEC tier list after the latest weekend of games saw Luke Bauer take his rightful place in the 'Georgia' tier and become the greatest football player of all time, Georgia was tested for a few minutes at the construction site, which also claimed Brock Bowers. Mizzou, Tennessee, Alabama and LSU all took care of business. Florida is back & Graham Mertz is no longer an ultimate frisbee player. Vandy played with heart. Auburn & South Carolina continued to struggle. Texas A&M is in real jeopardy. Kentucky got humbled at Kroger and Arkansas' hopes of a bowl game (and Sam Pittman's hopes of keeping his job) got worse (00:00:00-00:27:04).

        • Mizzou: 38 Kentucky: 21 Reactions and takeaways as the Tigers secure bowl eligibility & improve to 6-1

          Mizzou is going bowling. We recap how the Tigers overcame a horrific start to their road clash against Kentucky starting with a heroic fake punt attempt and fantastic throw by punter Luke Bauer, which helped Mizzou turn the tide and secure a 38-21 win. We dive into how Mizzou turned the game around including Brady Cook using his legs and receiving weapons other than Luther Burden, who had a quiet game. We discuss Mookie Cooper, Theo Wease Jr., Brett Norfleet, Cody Schrader and especially Marquis "Big Play" Johnson's key contributions and how Mizzou's offense kept its composure in a chippy game, while Kentucky crippled itself with penalties.

          We also break down the best performance of the season for Mizzou's defense including, new and familiar faces making plays, how the Tigers stayed resilient and made up for early errors, turnovers including a fourth INT of the season for Kris Abrams-Draine, a forced fumble by Joseph Charleston and a pick for Marcus Clarke and how the defensive line took a huge step forward for the rest of the season. We also, of course, talk special teams as Erik Link called the game of his life with a fake punt that changed the game, and we think Burden should be taken off return duties.

          We take a brief look ahead to the Tigers homecoming matchup vs. South Carolina, which we'll be in attendance for as Mizzou looks to take a 7-1 record into its bye week and then into Athens, GA.

          Bleav in Kentucky host Vinny Hardy joins us to preview Mizzou vs. Kentucky including Kentucky QB Devin Leary's struggles, RB Ray Davis' strong start, what went wrong against Georgia (other than the fact that it was Georgia), if Kentucky's offense can become consistent, how the Cats' secondary can slow Luther Burden, how the Tigers' defense will pressure Leary and how Kentucky can exploit Mizzou's defense to avoid a loss on home soil. We also talked a little Kentucky basketball and where the Wildcats stand after a wild offseason and a bunch of roster moves (00:00:00-00:00:39:06).

          We talk some MU football recruiting after Clint Cosgrove melted Mizzou Twitter putting in a Futurecast for Ryan Wingo, while four-star 2025 DL Julian Marks re-opens his recruitment. We also talked some men's hoops recruiting as four-star forward Chase McCarty, who has Mizzou in his top-six, is set to commit on Friday.

              Mizzou football is looking to bounce back after a tough loss to LSU as the Tigers travel to face Kentucky on Saturday. Bleav in Kentucky host Vinny Hardy joins us to preview the matchup and talk about Kentucky's season so far including new QB Devin Leary's struggles, RB Ray Davis' strong start including what went right for him and the Wildcats' O-Line against Florida, what went wrong against Georgia (other than the fact that it was Georgia) and if Kentucky's offense can become consistent.

              Vinny also breaks down how Kentucky's defense stacks up against Luther Burden and the rest of the Mizzou wideouts, how the Tigers' defense will pressure Leary and how Kentucky can exploit Mizzou's defense to avoid a loss on home soil. We also talked a little Kentucky basketball and where the Wildcats stand after a wild offseason and a bunch of roster moves.

            • Mizzou vs. LSU recap, Payton gives his take on the loss, SEC Tier List, Quick Hits, NFL FRAUD! Rankings: Week 5

              We start with Saturday's recap of the good, the bad and the ugly during Mizzou's 49-39 loss to LSU including another explosive performance on offense, particularly Luther Burden & Cody Schrader, A BRETT NORFLEET TD, Brady Cook had another solid game but snapped his pass attempts without an INT streak at 366 after a pair of picks. We also talked about Mizzou's poor run defense as LSU QB Jayden Daniels tore the Tigers up and brutal mistakes that helped snap the Tigers' unbeaten start to the season (00:00:00-00:55:09).

              We do our Week 6 SEC Tier List as Georgia proves it's still the best team in the nation, Alabama and Ole Miss pickup narrow wins, LSU & Jayden Daniels are right behind, Mizzou is still good & Payton gives his take on Saturday's game, Kentucky is still fraudulent, Florida is not back & Graham Mertz is still an ultimate frisbee player, Texas A&M fails to get a marquee win, Arkansas might not make a bowl game, Mississippi State played its cupcake game in Week 6 and we have some choice words for "disconcerting signals" & Connor Tollison (00:55:09-1:24:06).

              • LSU: 49 Mizzou: 39 Reactions and takes as second half mistakes & Jayden Daniels sink the Tigers

                It was good, bad and flat-out ugly at times for Mizzou and the Tigers were unable to pull out a win against LSU. We break down what went well in Mizzou's 49-39 loss including another explosive performance on offense, Luther Burden did his thing, Cody Schrader had a nice performance and WE GOT A BRETT NORFLEET TD as Mizzou's younger wideouts made key plays. We also discuss Brady Cook's performance after he had another solid game, but snapped his pass attempts without an INT streak at 366 after a pair of picks.

                We also talked about what went wrong for Mizzou's run defense as LSU QB Jayden Daniels and RB Logan Diggs tore the Tigers up & WR Malik Nabers had another huge game. We discussed the strange "disconcerting signals" penalties and key mistakes by Mizzou including a missed FG by Harrison Mevis, a brutal snap infraction penalty by Connor Tollison while the Tigers were driving for the win, Eli Drinkwitz going for it on 4th & 32, Johnny Walker Jr. ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct and how Mizzou can bounce back next with another tough opponent in Kentucky next week.

                    Mizzou football is 5-0 and the Tigers have avoided a repeat of their 2019 game against Vandy that caused a disastrous end to that campaign.
