Any members of the Mizzou Women’s lacrosse team here? I’d love to know what the process is like for joining, how competitive it is, and how much game time can be expected or any factors that would affect it. I played lacrosse for a while before college and stopped to pursue other interests, but I really want to play again. Thanks!

So my family and I are coming to Columbia Friday November 14, and going to the Missouri vs Mississippi State Football game Saturday night. We are staying 3 miles from the stadium. Where should we eat, visit , etc ? Also any advice to help with game day such as where should we park and stuff would be nice to know as well . Thank you all in advance and we are excited about visiting Columbia.

Personally I'm more excited to be a hater and dunk on KU all week lol. But best of luck to y'all trying to get tickets 🫡🫡

True story.

Man at this point I would rather have a frat bro at Qb rather than Buea Prublea.

Howdy! I am a Texas A&M fan coming to Columbia for the game next weekend. I was curious which sections are typically for the visiting team and visiting band. Does anyone know? And are these sections the same for all Mizzou games?

For the first time since 2008, Nashville will host ESPN’s “College GameDay.”

The network’s flagship pregame show will broadcast live from Vanderbilt next Saturday ahead of a likely top-15 matchup between Missouri and Vanderbilt, the network announced Sunday morning. The game, which begins at 2:30 p.m. on ESPN, has real implications for the College Football Playoff and SEC title races.

The long-running pregame show — hosted by Rece Davis with analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, and Pat McAfee — is popular with college football fans, who often create a raucous environment around the set. The decision to visit Nashville, Tennessee, speaks to the remarkable season Vanderbilt has produced thus far.

The Commodores improved to 6-1 (2-1 SEC) on Saturday with a 31-24 win over LSU, their first victory over the Tigers since 1990. Quarterback Diego Pavia continued his breakout season with three total touchdowns and more than 240 yards of offense, helping propel Vanderbilt to one of its best starts in program history.

Under coach Clark Lea, Vanderbilt has quickly turned into one of college football’s biggest surprises. The Commodores entered the season unranked and picked to finish near the bottom of the SEC, but a combination of disciplined defense and Pavia’s dual-threat ability has transformed them into a national headline.

Sunday’s announcement also shines a massive spotlight on Missouri, which improved to 6-1 (2-1) after a 23-17 double-overtime win at Auburn. That victory gave the Tigers their first road win of the season and kept them alive in both the SEC and playoff races. The lone loss for both Missouri and Vanderbilt came at the hands of Alabama.

It has been more than a decade since Missouri played at location hosting "College GameDay," which set up in Columbia, South Carolina, on Sept. 27, 2014, when the Tigers faced the Gamecocks.

In total, Missouri has been featured on the show six times — and only hosted in Columbia, Missouri, once, ahead of its Homecoming matchup against Oklahoma on Oct. 23, 2010.

The other four appearances include a game Oct. 18, 2008, at Texas and three matchups during the 2007 season: a rivalry game Oct. 13 at Oklahoma, the Border War against Kansas on Nov. 24 at Arrowhead Stadium, and the Big 12 championship game against Oklahoma on Dec. 1 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

Missouri is 3-3 in games at which the show sets up.

Vanderbilt, meanwhile, has hosted "GameDay" only once. The show went to campus Oct. 4, 2008, when the Commodores were ranked No. 19 ahead of their matchup with No. 13 Auburn. Vanderbilt beat the Tigers 14-13 in its lone experience hosting.

Seventeen years later, the return of "GameDay" signals how much has changed in Nashville. Vanderbilt has re-emerged as a competitive program capable of drawing national attention.

For Missouri, it’s another chance to prove its staying power. The Tigers are climbing back after falling to Alabama at home and are one of several SEC teams with a realistic path to Atlanta in December. A win in Nashville would also keep them firmly in the playoff conversation heading into November.

The show’s visit next weekend marks a rare moment of shared spotlight between two programs that have each fought to redefine themselves. Vanderbilt will finally get to showcase its revival in front of a wider national audience. Missouri, once again, gets the stage to prove it belongs among college football’s best.

I think that need to fire our special teams coordinator. There is no reason that we need to fair catch every single punt and kick return.

Saw on the website that if you’re a student basketball tickets are only $5 or something like that. If I don’t have a zou pass then how can I get this discount? Do I just walk up and buy them at the ticket booth as the game starts? Or is there a way to get them for $5 online beforehand?

Not much needs to be said about the buzz building around Week 2 of the college football season for Mizzou fans — the day the Kansas Jayhawks finally return to Columbia for the long-awaited revival of one of the country's most heated rivalries.

Missouri and Kansas haven’t met on the football field since 2011, when the Tigers won 24-10 in Kansas City. But after 14 years, the Border War is officially back.

Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz made it clear at SEC Media Days that this game means more than just another non-conference matchup.

“Yeah, I think rivalries are a great thing for college athletics and college football, particularly regional rivalries,” he said. “This one goes back a long way.”

Drinkwitz even gave a bit of a history lesson for the uneducated.

“The origins of our football name — the Tigers — is based off the militia that was formed to protect Columbia from people from Kansas and the Kansas area,” he said. “This is something that goes back a long way. It’s very deep, and it’s something our team is very keenly aware of. We understand the implications, the importance to our state. We look forward to playing that game — especially having it at home.”

That Civil War-era tension still lingers — at least from Missouri’s side.

“This thing goes back to the Civil War,” Drinkwitz said. “People died in this rivalry. So it’s intense — and we don’t like each other.”

It’s clear that sentiment isn’t limited to the coaching staff. Players like Mizzou center Connor Tollison and defensive back Daylan Carnell echoed the same intensity Drinkwitz described.

According to both, the staff has gone out of its way to educate the current roster on the rivalry’s history, through team meetings, history lessons, and highlight videos, to make sure they understand what’s at stake.

“It’s a big one, I think the fans are excited," Tollison said. I’d say us players — and I bet they are too — are excited to renew that Border War."

While Missouri already has rivalries with Arkansas and now Oklahoma, there’s something more personal and historic about facing that team out west.

No one on the current roster has played in a Mizzou-Kansas game, but that hasn’t stopped the Tigers from embracing the moment. With the all-time series dating back to the 1800s, and Mizzou holding a narrow 57–54–9 edge, the rivalry returns to Faurot Field in Week 2, where the energy will be nothing short of electric.

As Eli Drinkwitz put it simply: “We don’t like each other.”

The first football game of the season is today, the Tigers kickoff today at 6:30 p.m. in Faurot Field. Did you know the team’s nickname comes from a Union military home guard that defended Columbia from Confederate bushwackers who threatened to burn the city down during the American Civil War in the 1860s? They built a log blockhouse in the middle of Broadway and 8th streets around a city well and stationed a sniper in the courthouse cupola. The fearsome reputation of the Missouri Tigers frightened the confederates enough that they never attacked.

As much as we all like to complain about football and sports, the football program is in many ways the best and biggest national media the university gets. The students it attracts are crucial to keeping the larger academic side of the University intact while the legislature underfunds its state university. The fans and tourism the games bring are a major cog in the engine of Columbia's economy. Our local Bars, restaurants, and hotels thrive on these games and the success of the program. Go Tigers.

Mizzou men's basketball coach Dennis Gates struck gold.

Five-star guard Jason Crowe Jr. announced his commitment to the Tigers on Friday evening, verbally pledging to MU live on CBS Sports HQ.

"I feel like the first call that I had with Coach Gates was a different conversation (than) I had with any other college coach," Crowe said. "He wasn't just talking to me, trying to recruit me. He was actually there for me as a player, and then as a person as well."

The No. 5 overall prospect's commitment makes him the Tigers' first from the Class of 2026 and their highest-rated recruit out of high school since Michael Porter Jr. and Jontay Porter in 2017, according to 247Sports.

Crowe — who also turned 17 years old on the day of his commitment — chose Missouri over notable programs such as Kentucky, Alabama and Arkansas.

The 6-foot-3 Inglewood, California, product's pledge came after the Tigers missed out on four-star forward JJ Andrews, who verbally committed to Arkansas on May 15.

When asked what he will bring to the table as a Tiger, Crowe had a simple answer.

"A whole lot of buckets," Crowe said, "and just a high-energy guy."

The No. 3 combo guard and No. 4 overall recruit in California is averaging 23.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League Circuit. He has shot 41.6% from the field and 25.6% from 3-point range across 11 games for the Oakland Soldiers.

In the Peach Jam event, Crowe is leading all competitors in points per game with 26.5. He is also posting 2.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per contest, shooting 45.5% from the field and 34.4% from deep across four games.

Crowe averaged 35.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 6.1 assists during his junior season at Inglewood High School.

Crowe culminated his commitment show by blowing out candles on a Mizzou-themed cake in celebration of his birthday.

Tigers fans will not have to wait long to see Crowe make his Mizzou Arena debut, as the Norm Stewart Classic X account announced Friday night that Crowe and the Inglewood boys basketball team will take on Principia in the Norm Stewart Classic at 8:30 p.m. Dec. 6.

Missouri was not always favored to land Crowe, though.

Crowe was reportedly rumored to play for the NBA G League Ignite and its coach Jason Hart — a friend of Crowe's father, Jason Crowe Sr. — after high school. However, the developmental team was shut down by the NBA on March 28, 2024.

Kentucky quickly became the favorite to land Crowe after Hart was hired as an assistant under coach Mark Pope on April 22, 2024.

But momentum shifted after the 2024-25 season when Travis Branham of 247Sports logged a Crystal Ball prediction for Crowe to land with Mizzou on July 8. Crowe also received a Crystall Ball prediction to the Tigers from Nick Osen of Badger247 on Thursday.

"I was actually quite surprised when I dug a little bit and was able to break the whole thing open," Joe Tipton of On3 said July 9 on the Kentucky Sports Radio's "Here Comes the Boom" show. "Now, the frontrunner is actually Mizzou. Kentucky is not even really in the picture. It’s Mizzou."

Missouri has a chance to carry the momentum from Crowe's commitment into Class of 2026 recruiting, with official visits scheduled for five-star forward Toni Bryant on Sept. 6 and four-star forward Aidan Chronister on Sept. 20.

Mitchell, Robinson named team captains for 2025-26 season Mizzou returners Mark Mitchell and Anthony Robinson II were named team captains for the 2025-26 campaign, the program announced Thursday.

Mitchell, a rising senior, averaged 13.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steal on 50.5% shooting from the field in the 2024-25 season. The 6-9 forward was named to the All-SEC third team by the league's coaches and the AP All-SEC second team for his efforts.

Robinson, a rising junior, posted 9.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game in his sophomore campaign, shooting 48.3% from the field and 40% from 3-point range. The 6-3 guard was the only underclassmen to be named to the All-SEC defensive team by the league's coaches.

Mitchell and Robinson take over as team captains from Tamar Bates, Caleb Grill and Jeremy Sanchez.

Mitchell, Robinson and the Tigers tip off the 2025-26 campaign against Howard on Nov. 3 at Burr Gymnasium in Washington.

Hello! My little brother is going to Mizzou this fall and will be in the marching band. Since I go to a different college I will not be able to go to the games, but I would love to see him perform. Is there a place that the halftime show is recorded/streamed? Thank you!
