More on Murray State vs. Missouri
Missouri and Murray State have played one other time as their opener back in 2013. The Tigers won in a blowout at 58-14 behind nearly 700 yards of offense at eight yards per play while also forcing three turnovers on defense. That is part of a record In program history with Mizzou having yet to lose to a school from the FCS.
The two also have a connection through Orion Phillips, a transfer punter this offseason from Murray State to Missouri. He was the Racers’ starter at the position last season before entering the portal to come to Missouri back in December.
The Tigers enter this season ranked amongst the top dozen in the nation. This comes after a breakout fourth season under Eli Drinkwitz in 2023 where they went 11-2. In their three seasons of the tenure before that, they were 17-19 overall.
Now, Missouri returns several starters from an offense that averaged 32.5 ppg. as a Top-30 unit in the country. That collection includes QB Brady Cook and essentially all of their top receivers led by WR Luther Burden in the pass game. They just must now replace portions of their defense, including DC Blake Baker.
Murray State will come to CoMo to start its first season under a new head coach in Jody Wright. They’ll do so after posting just a 2-9 record last fall, including losing their final seven and nine of their last ten, after four years under Dean Hood.
Missouri is one of a handful of teams expecting to make the College Football Playoff out of the SEC. Those hopes begin on Thursday later this week when they’ll be a favorite by nearly 50 points to start out at 1-0.
A fundraiser on Friday helped raise money for a mid-Missouri family’s effort to get their daughter medical treatment.
Hurts Donut from Springfield, Mo., traveled to Ashland to help the Kroeckel family raise money for their daughter, Harper’s, life-changing medical treatment in Italy.
“After exhausting available treatment options in the United States, the family is now pursuing specialized care that offers new hope for her future,” wrote the Hurts Donut shop in a press release. “Because the treatment, travel expenses and extended medical stays are not covered by insurance, the family is facing more than $85,000 in out-of-pocket costs.”
Harper had been born prematurely at 35 weeks and admitted to the NICU, where a nurse discovered a spot that they assumed to be diaper rash on her bottom. However, further inspection led to her diagnosis of Capillary Malformation-Arteriovenous Malformation, or CM-AVM.
CM-AVM is a genetic mutation at the cellular level that causes blood vessels in certain areas to be tangled, causing swelling, pressure, chronic pain and, in some instances, bleeding. In Harper’s case, it could potentially spread to her spine or brain.
The donut shop set up shop at the Ashland Optimists Club and donated 100% of its Special Tribute donut sales to the Kroeckel family, as well as 10% of the proceeds from its dozen donut sales.

UPDATE: Well-known mid-Missouri attorney charged after sting expected to request home detention | 93.9 The Eagle
A prominent mid-Misssouri attorney has pleaded NOT guilty to a felony charge of enticement or attempted enticement of a child.
56-year-old Daniel Walter Follett is charged in Boone County Circuit Court. He had served as the Missouri Department of Revenue’s (DOR) general counsel until he was fired after last week’s arrest.
Court documents filed by Boone County prosecutors say Follett was allegedly using a prostitution website “to solicit sexual services from a person whom he believed to be a 16-year-old child.” The Boone County Sheriff’s Department’s probable cause statement says Follett allegedly arrived at an address in Boone County last week to pay money to have sex with a female whom he believed was under the age of 17.
Follett, who is currently jailed without bond, is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon before Judge Kimberly Shaw and is expected to request home detention, based on online court records.
939 the Eagle News contacted the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) after Follett’s arrest. DOR released a statement about Follett’s arrest and status last week. It reads: “The Department is aware of an out-of-office incident involving a staff member who was arrested and charged with criminal activity. Following departmental procedures, employment has been terminated with the individual.”
What’s next: Follett is scheduled to appear in Boone County Circuit Court on Tuesday at 1 pm for a bond hearing before Judge Kimberly Shaw. Follett is represented by defense attorney Jessica Caldera, a former Boone County assistant prosecutor. Follett is expected to request home detention from the court until his trial. Boone County prosecutors have described Follett in a court filing as a flight risk.
