As of now, Mizzou’s 2026 schedule includes: -Two blood donors -The withering remains of kansas -Four games against teams in Year 1 of a new coach -The three worst teams in the league from a year ago -Three of their four toughest games at home

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

Morning After Mizzou Thoughts™️, Arkansas edition:

You killed the man, but not the idea

Death, taxes, and Mizzou Football absolutely owning Arkansas.

thinking about how Louisiana's governor pretended to take a principled stand against the rise of massive coaching contracts with crippling buyouts, only for the school to turn around and offer Lane Kiffin a 7-year, $100 million contract

Few things in college football have been more satisfying than watching the post-2022 kansas hype train go up in flames.

Alright then

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Egg Bowl Facebook sounds like hell

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

Just setting up the play action.

In light of today’s news, I think it’s time for a special Eli Drinkwitz edition of Morning After Mizzou Thoughts™️:

This pleases me

Thread: This photo is from January 21, 2020. This was the day I started my MBA journey at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Grad school was never in my plans, and I didn’t have much of a business background. But the opportunity was there, and I decided, “I’m gonna do that.”

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

All time what-if season.

I have one of Gary’s paintings hanging in my office. He was a Washington icon and one of our town’s greatest ambassadors. Incredibly sad news.

By far the best thing about Sesame Street is the way it maintains the conceit that every celebrity on the show is someone the muppets already know personally

Morning After Mizzou Thoughts™️, Mississippi State edition:

Not my house, but I know the way around

My hotel alone last weekend in Columbia was close to $400 and it was actually one of the more “reasonable” options in town. I’ve never had season tickets but I’ve usually been able to go to individual MU games without breaking the bank. That’s increasingly becoming a thing of the past, everywhere.

Gary Pinkel announced his retirement as Mizzou’s football coach 10 years ago today. What a week that was. A few days later, I got to cover what was ultimately his last win. Will always remember walking out of the media room and seeing Gary in the tunnel hugging his granddaughters.

Sam Seaborn is vindicated

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Interesting that Police Academy 3 made the list but the first two did not!

My understanding is that ESPN wanted to keep politics out of sports so what exactly is the purpose of this?

Against my better judgement, I poked my head into the other site and the PowerMizzou threads to gauge the temperature of the fanbase after last weekend and now I have brain damage.

Somewhere, Kirk Ferentz is standing and applauding in his living room

Ugh. Morning After Mizzou Thoughts™️:

What an absolutely perfect fall Saturday

if they were smart, they’d realize his victory showed that sincere, Lin-Manuel-esque aesthetics are actually very effective at selling socialist ideas to normie libs. but they are not smart.

Figured now was a good time to finally listen to Springsteen’s Nebraska. The whole album is phenomenal but My Father’s House is such a beautifully haunting song. The kind of song where you have to sit in silence for a minute after hearing it.

I’m out of my slumber and The Onion was there to cover it

This is a masterpiece of a Game 7. Every pitch and play is filled with tension

The Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookie was the perfect antidote to the Great Depression: in a single, inexpensive, hand-held serving, it contained the very richness and comfort that millions of people were forced to live without in the late 1930s. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/oluwlN
