On the latest episode of "Mizzou Storytellers,” Dave Matter, Loretta Jones and Steve Sowers sit down with former Mizzou offensive coordinator Dave Christensen for a wide-ranging, deeply personal conversation that traces his journey from growing up in Everett, Washington, to calling plays for Brad Smith and Chase Daniel during Mizzou’s rise in the 2000s. Christensen reflects on the early grind of coaching, his long partnership with Gary Pinkel, and the pivotal decisions that reshaped Mizzou’s no-huddle spread offense and culminated in the unforgettable 2007 season. He also opens up about becoming a head coach at Wyoming, the lessons learned from four decades in the game, and why he couldn’t resist coaching overseas. Christensen discusses his new book, Your Fourth Down, and how its leadership lessons are rooted not just in football, but in life — including the childhood tragedy of losing his older brother, and how that experience reshaped his perspective on resilience, purpose, and what truly matters. From bowl game memories and family life on the road, to leadership, legacy and debate over fourth-and-goal with Brad or Chase — this episode delivers stories, insight and perspective from one of the most influential architects in modern Mizzou football.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Warm, revealing and long overdue, this episode of "Mizzou Storytellers" shines a spotlight on one of the most influential people in Mizzou Athletics you don't see on the sidelines. Hosted by Loretta Jones, Dave Matter, and “Producer Steve" Sowers, the conversation with Sandy Matthew pulls back the curtain on two decades of leadership, loyalty and behind-the-scenes excellence. As the Senior Executive Administrative Assistant to the Director of Athletics, Sandy has served five athletic directors over 19 years, quietly becoming a constant through eras of change. In this episode, she shares how her journey to Mizzou began, what it really takes to support an athletics director at the highest level, and how college athletics—and her role within it—has evolved. Listeners gain a rare look at the operational heartbeat of the department, from navigating high-pressure game days to building trust across every sport and staff unit. The episode is equally personal. Sandy reflects on her Oklahoma roots, her recent adventure in Italy, life at home with her mom Ruth and dog Piper, and what Mizzou truly means to her. She’s a gatekeeper, a trusted advisor and a steady presence through it all. More than anything, this episode makes clear why Sandy Matthew is considered the heart and soul of Mizzou Athletics — and why her story was one that needs to be told.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
