Tiger Talk is back for its second week of the season, and that means I'm also back with a live thread to keep you updated.

Eli Drinkwitz will lead the show off, followed by Jamal Roberts and Langden Kitchen. Updates will be in the thread below for @RockMNation.

But Tiafoe's just too electric under pressure. Maybe the best at taking the momentum of a match and feeding off of it

One of the best matches of the tourney

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Alex Michelsen is a man possessed out there. Insane composure from a 22-year-old who's never made a major quarterfinal

Took the first 2 sets off Tiafoe and came back down 40-0 to take a 5-3 lead in the 3rd set. Michelsen hadn't taken a set against Tiafoe in his career before now

@sponhourm Any news on whether or not corn will be up and moving around this season?

For @RockMNation

Mizzou goes into rivalry week against Kansas with a different feeling than a year ago. Drinkwitz and players acknowledged that history is important, but the focus is on the game itself

Cayden Lee on Austin Simmons in Week 1:

"It was just so awesome to see him go out there and just lead us in a positive direction. He's put in lots of work this offseason, and for him to be able to go out there and showcase that in Week 1 was very positive. I'm excited for him."

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Dom Giudice says he's "Been fortunate to be part of these great rivalries" during his college career.

He experienced Michigan vs. Ohio State and now Mizzou vs Kansas

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Santana Banner on the difference going into the border war for him compared to last season:

"It's no different for me, honestly. If anything, it makes me want to play harder. 3-0 in trophy games (Kansas, Arkansas, SC) so far here."

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

"Just continue pushing the guys to the standard, holding everybody to the standard," Jamal Roberts said on the RB room. "Work on our mechanics and just the little details in practice, and just come out... just be at our full potential."

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Drinkwitz says that he thinks Kansas will be able to find more success in the ground game this season due to the Jayhawks' new scheme under a new OC, "It's just what they do."

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Drinkwitz on the RB situation:

"We'll do the best we can. Obviously, we got Jamal Roberts, we got Xai'Shaun. I think (Hatfield) scored in his 1st career game. Anthony Favrow got in there and did some good things. He's got to keep stepping up. 
Coach Luper's got his hands full."

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Drinkwitz on Kansas QB Isaiah Marshall:

"The guy's a winner. And he's playing at a high level with a lot of confidence. 
I think the way he got the ball vertically downfield was really good. His accuracy is really good, and he runs extremely tough. He's got great vision."

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Drinkwitz says RB Malae Fonoti tore his ACL against UAPB and will miss the rest of the season. Fonoti was the first RB behind Jamal Roberts to get reps in the opener

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Drinkwitz on the report from Pete Thamel earlier today regarding Cayden Green's health:

"Cayden Green practiced today, looked good. Need to see how he responds today to the work that he got... I'll have a better idea at 2 o'clock of where he's at."

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

Press conference with Coach Drink and a few players to come shortly

Updates for @RockMNation

Week 2 #Mizzou depth chart:

Same as last week besides Cayden Green being back in the lineup

[Colin Simmons @CSimmonsSports]

A little late, but looking back at our predictions from 2025-26:

- We both underestimated the Spurs, Pistons and Celtics
- Overestimated the Magic, Clippers, Mavs and Grizzlies
- I predicted the correct Finals winner, DPOY and ROY
- Logan predicted the correct MVP, DPOY and ROY

@LoganJS05 (bottom) and my NBA predictions for the 2025-26 season.

Time will tell who gets more picks correct in a stacked West and an open East.
