The weekly "Tiger Talk" radio show for Mizzou Athletics is set to return for the 2025 football season, beginning Tuesday, August 26. The show will be broadcast live from Harpo’s Bar & Grill in downtown Columbia every Tuesday from 7-8 p.m. CT during the regular season on the Central Bank Tiger Radio Network.

Hosted by Mike Kelly, known as the "Voice of the Tigers," each episode features Missouri Tigers head football coach Eliah Drinkwitz, an assistant coach, and a student-athlete from the team. The program aims to give fans insight into Mizzou Football throughout the season.

This year marks the start of a new three-year partnership with Harpo's to host "Tiger Talk" during football season. Harpo’s previously hosted the show during both men’s and women’s basketball seasons in 2024-25.

"We're excited to continue building on the great tradition of 'Tiger Talk' and to bring the football show back to Harpo's through this new three-year agreement," said Mizzou Director of Athletics Laird Veatch. "This setting creates an engaging environment for our fans to connect with Coach Drinkwitz, our student-athletes and our program each week. It's a great way to showcase the energy of Mizzou Football and the passion of our fan base every week in downtown Columbia."

A special edition of "Tiger Talk" is scheduled for November 11 at Memorial Stadium's Walsworth Family Columns Club during the annual "Taste of The Tigers" event, which benefits the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri.

Fans can listen statewide on Central Bank Tiger Radio Network affiliates such as KTGR 105.1 FM / 1580 AM in Columbia or through other affiliates across Missouri. The show is also available via the Mizzou Tigers app.

Limited tickets remain for "Kickoff in CoMo," which is Missouri's season opener against Central Arkansas on Thursday, August 28. Fans can buy four tickets for $80 while supplies last at THIS LINK. Single-game tickets are available online at MUTigers.com/Tickets, by calling 1-800-CAT-PAWS, or at the Mizzou Arena Ticket Office.
