'Rock bottom' Chelsea need manager with PL experience
Chelsea's poor form raises questions about managerial choices and experience.
Mizzou Softball's season ended unexpectedly after failing to secure six outs against Auburn, missing out on postseason eligibility for the first time since 2024.
Today we are talking about Mizzou Softball!
This wasnāt how Mizzou Softballās season was supposed to end.
All the Tigers needed were six outs against Auburn to secure eligibility for an at-large postseasonā something they havenāt done since their 2024 Super Regional appearance.
Then the wheels fell off.
Within minutes, Auburn had erased a 2-0 deficit, and created a 4-2 lead over MU with time running out. The gap turned to four runs in what turned into a total collapse by the Tigers and they couldnāt find any runs to get back in it.
With the loss, Mizzou misses the .500 mark and will spend a second consecutive season wondering whether Larissa Anderson is fit for the head coaching job moving forward.
Dylan broke down the game and Iāll have a season recap/whatās next piece coming out soon.
We have more discussion on football and basketball, diving into prospects, visits and PFF grades in the Rock M+ forums.
In the latest softball bracketology from Benjamin Rosenberg, Mizzou is a No. 3 seed in the Lincoln, Nebraska Regional ā but things can obviously change with a loss to Auburn. (Editorās note: And by change, we mean if they donāt win the season is over)
Editorās note had it to a tee. The season is over.
Ahmad Hardy and Jamal Roberts return. Thatās basically all you need to know for 2026. As a positive addendum, Coach Luper already has their replacements on the roster and ready to jump in: XaiāShaun Edwards from Houston Christian and Malae Fonoti from Montana. At this point Loopās guys have earned my 100% trust so expect one of those two to be Missouriās next great 1,000+ yard rusher.
If one thing is for certain: Mizzou will have Ahmad Hardy at running back next year.
Abby Carr came in to replace her, starting strong with back-to-back strikeouts. But she quickly lost control, allowing a walk and a single to shallow left that moved runners to the corners with two outs.
Abby Carr Iām sure learned a lot this game. I hope sheās back in black and gold next season but who knows with todayās landscape.
Over at Rock M+ we have more Mizzou football discussion and basketball discussion with the offseason picking up for football and basketball.
