Inside Mizzou Athletics

“There’s something in them stadium lights … ” In the first “Mizzou Storytellers” episode of 2025, Dave Matter and Loretta Jones visit with rising country music star and lifelong Tigers fan Roman Alexander, the singer and songwriter behind “Missouri On My Mind.” A native of Parkville, Missouri, Roman shares the fascinating story behind his move to Nashville at 18 and how he launched a promising career, from washing cars to selling country music merchandise to building a growing following on Instagram with his soulful voice and catchy country lyrics. Roman’s inspiring story is embodied by his stubborn determination to record and release his signature song, which he calls a love letter to Mizzou Football and Mizzou fandom – and has become the opening song to “Mizzou Storytellers.” Loretta and Dave also recap the holiday season, including their own Christmas present mishaps, the bowl trip to Nashville and the winter break that will never end.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
