On this episode of the Eye on the Tigers Podcast, the Post-Dispatch's Eli Hoff and Ben Frederickson weave through the latest Mizzou sports news, starting with the sudden departure of defensive coordinator Blake Baker.

They unpack the timeline of his decision to leave, what it means for Missouri and where coach Eli Drinkwitz might go with his new hire. Eli and Ben also talk through Drinkwitz's recent pay raise before discussing another defeat for the men's basketball team – but one that showed some silver linings.

This week's Quick 3 segment puts Ben on the record with some way-too-early predictions for how Mizzou football will be ranked in 2024.
