SEC Entry (2012-2015)
editMissouri entered the 2012 season with numerous changes, not least of which was a new conference. The Tigers also had new uniforms, updated branding and graphics[2], and updated field logos and turf.[3]
In their first ever game in the Southeastern Conference, Missouri hosted Georgia. Despite a hard fought battle, the Tigers lost 41-20.[4] Missouri would get their first SEC win during homecoming against Kentucky, 33-10.[5] The Tigers first road SEC win would come two weeks later, taking down Tennessee in four overtimes, 51-48.[6] Missouri lost their final two regular season games to finish at 5-7 and miss a bowl game for the first time since 2004.[7]
Expectations for the 2013 season were similar to the prior year, with Missouri projected to finish 11th out of the 14 team conference.[8] However, the Tigers had reasons to be optimistic, including a healthy James Franklin at quarterback and Henry Josey at running back. Josey made his mark in the first game of the season, running over the same spot where he suffered injury two seasons prior as he ran for a 68 yard touchdown.[9][10] Rattling off five straight wins to begin the season, the Tigers rose to #25 as they traveled to Athens to face #7 Georgia. The Tigers used big-time plays to stay ahead of injuries and beat Georgia 41-26.[11][12] Missouri then hosted #22 Florida, downing the Gators 36-17.[13]
Rising to #5 in the rankings, Missouri had a second straight home game against a ranked opponent, this time hosting #20 South Carolina for homecoming. Missouri ended up losing a three score lead and fell in double overtime, 27-24.[14] The Tigers were undaunted, winning their remaining regular season games, including at #24 Ole Miss and hosting #19 Texas A&M. In a close game, the deciding touchdown was scored with 3:34 remaining on a 57 yard run by Josey.[15] This win sent Missouri fans into euphoria as they rushed the field to celebrate an 11-1 regular season and an SEC East championship in only their second season in the SEC. The SEC fined Missouri $5,000 for rushing the field.[16] The Tigers played #4 Auburn in the SEC championship game, with an almost certain berth in the national championship game going to the winner.[17] Despite playing their hearts out, Missouri would lose 59-42 as Auburn set numerous offensive records.[18] At the end of the season, the Tigers earned an invite to the 2014 Cotton Bowl Classic against former conference foe Oklahoma State. At the end of the game, with Oklahoma State down by 3 and driving, Michael Sam stripped the ball from the Oklahoma State quarterback and Shane Ray returned the ball for a touchdown, capping off a 41-31 victory.[19] With the win, Pinkel became the winningest coach in Missouri history.[20] Missouri earned their 12th win of the season, matching their historic 2007 season.
After the 2013 season, senior Michael Sam came out as gay, becoming one of the first openly gay players in major college football.[21] Picketers protested Sam during the Cotton Bowl trophy ceremony in early February 2014. Missouri students organized a counter protest, where they formed a human chain of over 2000 people to block the protestors.[22]
The 2014 season saw many new faces as starters. Missouri lost their starting QB, RB, three wide recievers, and numerous starters on defense as players declared for the draft and ran out of eligibility.[23] This position turnover made the Tigers projected to finish 4th in the SEC East.[24] The Tigers started the season at 3-1 after a surprising upset at home versus Indiana. It was during this game that the Tigers' 47 game turnover streak came to an end.[25][26] The following week the Tigers went to #13 South Carolina. With College GameDay in attendance[27], the Tigers shocked the Gamecocks 21-20. This win bumped Missouri back into the top 25 at #23, but only for one game as #13 Georgia would come to Columbia and blanket the Tigers 34-0. This would be the first time the Tigers got shut out at home since 2002.[28]
The following week Missouri played another weird game, beating Florida 42-13 despite only managing 121 yards of total offense. The Tigers won due to special teams and defense. Marcus Murphy returned a punt for a touchdown and a kickoff for a touchdown while the defense had six sacks, six turnovers, and two scores (a pick six and a scoop-and-score).[29] Missouri then beat Vanderbilt and Kentucky at home before beating #24 Texas A&M and Tennessee on the road. Coming into their final regular season game against Arkansas in the inaugural Battle Line Rivalry, #17 Missouri needed a win to play for the SEC title for the second straight year. Arkansas was also playing hot, having beat two ranked teams by a combined score of 47-0.[30] Arkansas would lead at the half 14-6 with Missouri's points coming on long field goals. With no scoring in the third quarter, the Tigers got a touchdown in the fourth and a trick-play two-point conversion tied the game at 14. Missouri would get another touchdown with 4:38 to go, giving them their first lead of the game. A fumble by Arkansas on the next drive clinched the second straight SEC East title.[31] Fans again rushed the field to celebrate winning two division titles in the first three years in the SEC. The SEC fined Missouri $25,000 for allowing fans to rush the field[32] In the 2014 SEC Championship game against #1 Alabama, #16 Missouri would enter the fourth quarter down by only a score but lose 42-13. The Tigers accepted a bid to the Citrus Bowl against #25 Minnesota. Missouri would win the bowl game 33-17 to finish the season 11-3.
Fresh off back to back SEC East titles, the 2015 Missouri Tigers were looking to three-peat and go to Atlanta for a third straight year. The Tigers started the season sluggish, winning at Arkansas State 27-20 and at home against UConn 9-6.[33] After a loss at Kentucky and a win against South Carolina, Missouri would lose four straight including a Thursday night game against #24 Mississippi State. The game against BYU, scheduled to be played at Arrowhead Stadium was threaten due to a player's strike, but the strike was resolved before the game. Also prior to the BYU game, Pinkel announced he would be resign following the season due to a blood cancer diagnosis.[34] The Tigers would win the showdown against BYU 20-16 in a win described as "cathartic" due to the turbulent week before the game.[35] However, Missouri would fail to win in their final two games, ending the season at 5-7.
Pinkel retired as the winningest coach in Missouri history, going 118-73 over his tenure. Pinkel lead the Tigers to 10 bowl victories, five 10-win seasons, and five divisional championships.[36]
2015 protests
editThe protests that were on campus during the 2015 season made their way to the football team. Players announced in November before the BYU game they would not play until the university president resigned. Pinkel stood behind the team, tweeting “The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players.”[37] The players' demands were met, and the strike did not impact any games.[38]
Barry Odom era (2016-2019)
editReplacing Gary Pinkel as head coach was defensive coordinator and former Missouri linebacker Barry Odom.[39] Odom coached his first season as Missouri defensive coordinator in 2015, after being coordinator for Memphis from 2012-14 and spending time as a graduate assistant and safeties coach at Missouri.[40]
After going 4-8 in 2016, the Tigers started the 2017 season 1-5 but bounced back to win their six remaining games to finish the regular season at 7-5 and earned an invite to the 2017 Texas Bowl against former conference foe Texas. Texas won the bowl game 33-16, but Odom did recieve a contract extension for appearing in the bowl game.[41][42] Quarterback Drew Lock broke the SEC single-season passing touchdowns record during the game against Arkansas.[43]
The Tigers entered the 2018 season with high expectations; Lock was a Heisman Trophy hopeful.[44][45] The Tigers started the season 3-0, before losing 4 of their next 5, including against #1 Alabama, #2 Georgia, a controversial last-second call versus Kentucky, [46][47] and a rainy and "weird" game at South Carolina.[48][49][50] The team bounced back to win their remaining regular season games, including a signature win at #13 Florida.[51] This earned the Tigers an invite to the 2018 Liberty Bowl in a rematch of the 2014 Cotton Bowl against Oklahoma State. The Tigers lost the bowl game 38-33.[52]
In between the 2018 and 2019 seasons, Missouri was found to be in violation of NCAA academic rules. Penalties included a one year postseason ban, scholarship reductions, and recruiting restrictions.[53] Missouri appealed, calling the sanctions "overly harsh",[54] but the sanctions were upheld.[55]
Despite the sanctions and losing their quarterback in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft[56], Missouri entered the 2019 season with momentum as former Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant transferred in for his final season in college.[57][58] And despite losing the opening game of the season against Wyoming, the Tigers won 5 straight to have a 5-1 record and a #22 going to 1-5 Vanderbilt. In Nashville Missouri's season would unravel[59] and the Tigers would lose 5 straight to finish 6-6. This finish would lead to Missouri firing Odom. Due to the aforementioned NCAA sanctions, Missouri missed a bowl game for the first time since 2016.[60]
Eli Drinkwitz era (2020-present)
editAfter firing Barry Odom, Missouri hired first year head coach Eli Drinkwitz from Appalachian State. Drinkwitz, despite only being a head coach for a year, lead Appalachian State to a 12-1 record and a Sun Belt championship. Prior to coaching at Appalachian State, Drinkwitz worked as an assistant coach focusing on offense for Auburn, Arkansas State, Boise State, and NC State.[61][62]
The 2020 season for the Tigers was heavily impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All non-conference games (including at Central Arkansas, BYU, Eastern Michigan, and Louisiana) were cancelled by the SEC as the conference moved to a 10 game, intra-conference only schedule.[63] Missouri's additional opponents in conference play were Alabama and defending national champion LSU.[64]
The George Floyd protests also impacted the Tigers 2020 season. Shortly after the protests began, Missouri players, coaches, and staff marched from campus to the Boone County courthouse where they knelt for 8 minutes 46 seconds. Players also registered to vote.[65] Other teams followed suit, echoing the 2015 protests.[66] Missouri also cancelled practice during the 2020 American athlete strikes in order to "focus on the current state of our country."[67] The university used the hashtag #Mizzou4Change to "promote coming together as a team for the betterment of...local and national communities through action."[68] During the 2020 season, Missouri wore a "MIZZOU 4 CHANGE" patch on their jerseys.[69] Throughout the season, the Tigers did numerous community service actions and events as part of #Mizzou4Change.[70]
Despite a tough schedule, Missouri ended the 2020 season 5-5. COVID-19 outbreaks caused reshuffling of the schedule on a near weekly basis.[71] Opening the season with loses to #2 Alabama and #21 Tennessee, the Tigers hosted #17 LSU. This game was originally scheduled for Baton Rouge and moved to Columbia due to the threat of Hurricane Delta. Missouri would win on a last-second goal line stand.[72] Later in the season the Tigers hosted Vanderbilt. Due to outbreaks of COVID-19, Vanderbilt played soccer player Sarah Fuller at kicker, who became the first woman to play in a Power 5 game.[73] The Tigers accepted an invite to the 2020 Music City Bowl against Iowa, but had to withdraw due to an outbreak of COVID-19.[74]
In both the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Missouri finished 6-7. In 2021 the Tigers lost to Army in the Armed Forces Bowl and in 2022 the Tigers lost to Wake Forest in the Gasparilla Bowl.
The 2023 season was a turnaround for the Tigers. Lead by St. Louis natives Brady Cook, Luther Burden III, and Cody Schrader, the Tigers opened the season going 5-0. These wins included against a walk-off 61-yard field goal against #15 Kansas State[75] where fans rushed the field (for which the university was fined $100,000 by the SEC),[76] and versus Memphis in St. Louis at the Dome at America's Center. Rising to #21 in the rankings, Missouri would lose at home to #23 LSU before beating #24 Kentucky and South Carolina. A loss at #2 Georgia knocked the Tigers out of SEC Championship contention, but they would end the regular season with three straight wins, including against #13 Tennessee. With a #9 ranking, the Tigers earned a berth to the 2023 Cotton Bowl Classic against #7 Ohio State.[77] Missouri ended up winning the low scoring game 14-3.[78]
FIU Pitbull Stadium sources
editWP:NAMECHANGES says for us to "give extra weight to independent, reliable, English-language sources ("reliable sources" for short) written after the name change. If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match." Meanwhile searching Google News for "FIU Stadium" returns only mentions in articles saying the stadium is now currently Pitbull Stadium. Articles talking about the rename in the immediate aftermath of the rename
- Pitbull buys naming rights to FIU football stadium - ESPN
- Dale! Pitbull signs deal to have football stadium at Florida International University named after him - NBC
- FIU Stadium renamed after Miami-born rapper Pitbull - Florida Phoenix
- Pitbull Is Paying Over $5 Million to Name Florida International’s Football Stadium After Himself - Rolling Stone
Articles talking about "inside" the renaming deal
- Inside the deal for Pitbull Stadium - Venues Now
- What a university's deal with Pitbull says about changing economics in college sports - NPR
Articles mentioning Pitbull Stadium, but not talking about the naming rights
- ‘Dale FIU!’ Pitbull Stadium era kicks off with a bang during Panthers’ football home opener - Miami Herald
- - Bulldogs drop CUSA opener to FIU Panthers - KTAL Shreveport "Timely penalties proved too costly for Louisiana Tech as the Bulldogs dropped the Conference USA opener to FIU, 17-10, on Saturday night at Pitbull Stadium."
- FHSAA extends high school football regular season after Hurricanes Helene, Milton hit state - Palm Beach Post. "FHSAA Executive Director Craig Damon also announced that the FHSAA has reached an agreement to hold the football state championships for Classes 7A-1A at Pitbull Stadium in Miami from Dec. 11-14."
- FIU debuts Pitbull Stadium name in season opener - SBJ
WP:CRITERIA says for "The title is consistent with the pattern of similar articles' titles." In the United States, stadiums are renamed pretty quickly to the sponsored name. College football stadiums renamed to sponsored names from non-sponsored names:
- Cardinal Stadium -> L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium
- Clifford B. & Audrey Jones Stadium -> Jones AT&T Stadium
- Rutgers Stadium -> SHI Stadium
- New North Texas Mean Green Stadium -> DATCU Stadium
- Spartan Stadium -> CEFCU Stadium
- ASU Stadium -> Centennial Bank Stadium
- Georgia State Stadium -> Center Parc Stadium
- etc...I stopped looking, but can create a full list if that is needed.
Soccer stadiums in the United States also get renamed pretty quickly to sponsored names, although there are fewer examples since most MLS stadiums have always had sponsored names.
- Sporting Park -> Children's Mercy Park
- Nashville SC Stadium -> Geodis Park
- Orlando City Stadium -> Inter&Co Stadium
- Seahawks Stadium -> Lumen Field
- Earthquakes Stadium -> PayPal Park
- West End Stadium -> TQL Stadium
USL Stadiums (since Miami FC is in USL)
- Dillon Stadium -> Trinity Health Stadium
- Ralph Lundy Field -> Patriots Point Soccer Complex
- Loudoun United Stadium -> Segra Field
- State Capital Soccer Park -> WakeMed Soccer Park
- Isotopes Park is one USL stadium who's article has NOT been renamed, but it's similar to the Chiefs below. The field was renamed but not the stadium.
I found three RM discussions about renaming stadiums in the US to sponsored names, all or NFL stadiums. Two decided in favor of using the most recent sponsored name Talk:Acrisure Stadium, AT&T Stadium/Archive 1, one decided to not include the sponsored field name in the article title which I don't feel is relevant (as here with FIU the stadium itself got renamed not just the field) but should be included Talk:Arrowhead Stadium. I think there isn't many RM discussions because it is commonplace to rename the articles for US stadiums and rarely results in contention.
