Welcome to the Morning Commute
Today we're talking about a Mizzou Football Game Day
Happy Game Day, Mizzou Football fans! We've made it. Cheers to 100 years at Memorial Stadium.
Cheers to Sterling Webb being ruled eligible right before the season starts.
And cheers to the official opening of the North End Zone.
Should be a fun season ahead. Fans attending the game tomorrow night should check out The Tiger Fan Zone.
Yesterday at Rock M and Rock M+
Per Eli Hoff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, current Missouri defensive tackle Sterling Webb has filed for a temporary restraining order against the University of Missouri, the institution he will be suiting up for in 2026.
And now he's eligible!

My official prediction for the 2026 Mizzou season is 8-4. Considering the step up in schedule strength due to adding a ninth conference game, as well as the sheer amount of turnover in the offseason, an 8-4 record for the Tigers will be a solid, if not spectacular campaign and set the program up for even brighter days in 2027.
8-4 is where I'm at as well. Let's see if Mizzou can surprise some people this season.
This first look at Simmons shouldn't turn into a verdict on his entire season. Even if he has a near-perfect game, the competition isn't comparable to what the Tigers will see later in the season, so for now, efficiency will be the bar for him to reach.
We've got Colin Simmons writing about Austin Simmons!
Larkin anchored the Mizzou attack on Tuesday, putting down a team-high of 14 kills while adding four blocks in the Tigers four-set battle against Oregon. The performance marked her second straight match pacing Mizzou in scoring, picking up right where she left off after leading the Aggies with a .408 hitting percentage last season.
A tough loss for Mizzou Volleyball against No. 25 Oregon on Tuesday night — but Utah State transfer Lauren Larkin made an impact.
She owns an ITF junior career-high ranking of No. 65, reached in March, and has also competed at the professional level. Rodero's WTA career highs include No. 1,182 in singles and No. 984 in doubles. Her ability to compete across both junior and professional events gives Missouri a player who has already experienced tennis beyond the traditional junior circuit.
Mizzou Tennis' international additions continue with the commitment of Camila Rodero.
It's a big day for Rock M Nation. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it's the best way to follow the Tigers.

Heading into the season opener, both Mizzou squads earn national recognition, with the women ranked No.24 and the men ranked No.30 in the USTFCCCA National Coaches Poll.
Big expectations for both Mizzou cross country teams as they head to Ames, Iowa.
Lange, a former 4-star recruit and the top-ranked one in the state in 2024, has just four career offensive snaps to his name, which came against Louisiana last season. It'll be the largest sample size we have of Lange to date on Thursday.
Really looking forward to what Jack Lange has in store later tonight.
The SEC Men's Golf Championship is still months away, but this tournament serves as an early predictor for what Mizzou will face in April.
"To see some almost half the conference in the first event was great," Millican said. "It's a good opportunity to see what your golf looks like compared to the rest of the teams in the conference."
It was a respectable showing for Mizzou Men's Golf in their first tournament of the season. Glen Millican's team will look to build off of it.
