@byEliHoff The gold hat with the block M is gorgeous. But when Mizzou sports the gold helmet with the tiger and the black jerseys (as in the K State game), that’s a Top 5 football uniform of all time, in my book at least.

Gold hats with the black Block M are back this weekend:

My latest for @CoMissourian: When veterans come home, dealing with the VA is its own unique kind of battle. The MU Law Veterans Clinic offers veterans, like Randel Norris, pro-bono legal aid to get them the benefits they deserve. Read more: columbiamissourian.com/news/higher_ed…

@namrathaprasad0 @mujschool @stltoday @TAPIFUSA Yay! 😃

10 days until I graduate from @mujschool! So excited to share my post-grad plans: This summer, I will be a data and reporting intern for @stltoday. Then, I'm off to Montpellier, France for 7 months through @TAPIFUSA! LMK if you have freelancing tips for when I head to Europe!

Good luck, Patriots! … Also, great photo @MarshallDksn 👀 😂 ⚽️ 👉🏾🥅

Instead of driving 50 minutes to get a pizza from Catalpa, Columbia will now have pizza vending machines beginning in late May.

After months of reporting and researching with @MaggieTrovato, here is my latest @CoMissourian piece on the #CPS substitute shortage and how that has impacted the teachers in the district. Big shoutout to @tristenrouse for the wonderful photos. columbiamissourian.com/news/k12_educa…

This was one of my favorite pieces I’ve worked on!

My man @Marshhh20 is celebrating his 21st birthday today! He’s 600 miles away at @DBUSoccer so we can’t celebrate together. So instead, let’s just relive a moment from this summer when he played for @afccolumbia and popped this ball into the back of the net:
