asking Dana about this TikTok, specifically her face after Chennedy's backflip.
This team has no shortage of personalities.

Morning. Just want to say that today is my last day with Gannett after 5 years total, with the last 2.5 being at the Columbia Tribune as its sports editor.

Literally anyone saying this to the Mizzou softball seniors needs to re-evaluate a lot about themselves
Love the comments saying we had a disappointing season and glad to see the seniors go. I can assure you, we gave it our all. We should’ve won, but just because we didn’t doesn’t mean you get to hide behind a screen and belittle us for still accomplishing things you never could.

Rowe is a 4-star PG in the class of ‘25, but he’ll be a 5-star by the time his prep career is over. Mizzou offered him last summer.

Damn good win for Mizzou. If you're keping count, Mizzou:
Closed on a 22-9 run,
Erased a 10-point deficit late,
Now has wins over Illinois, Kentucky and Arkansas.
That should be remembered come March.

I really respect what you do, Stewart, but you oversee three or four dozens of beats people work their careers for but never get.
Sports journalism is dying because dozens of dailies don’t have a local sports writer, let alone a sports editor. That’s where we need to be better.
Don’t be fooled by the cranky “sports journalism is dying” tweets. The future has never been brighter, because the talent I’ve seen coming out of colleges over the past several years has never been stronger.

The context makes it better: Poland had a point taken off and Aleksandra Jarecka had four seconds to tie it. Jarecka tied it and won it in OT. It’s Poland’s first-ever fencing medal and second medal of the Games.

Williams Nwaneri has a quiet persona. He has a humbleness that showed as he committed to Mizzou on Monday.
Behind that humble player is a drive that stems from a promise he made to his mother when he was 15.
