The Culture Has Changed. The World Just Hasn’t Noticed Yet.
—
In Columbia, Missouri, something bigger than football is happening.
It’s not just about the new recruits. Not just about the favorable 2025 schedule. Not even about CBS calling Mizzou one of the “most improved rosters” in the country.
It’s about what’s happening in the hearts of the fans.
Missouri Tigers Football is going through a full-blown identity renaissance, and the people who bleed black and gold are no longer shy about it.

From Underdog Energy to Championship Swagger
It started with belief—and now it’s become a movement.
Coach Eliah Drinkwitz didn’t just build a roster. He built a community. One that’s gone from hoping for six wins to expecting 10. One that used to celebrate close losses and now demands top-25 respect.
> “For the first time in years,” says longtime season ticket holder Darryl R., “I walk into Faurot Field expecting dominance. Not survival.”
This isn’t the old Mizzou.
This is The New Columbia.
