Tyler Macon will be here before you know it, and other Mizzou Football headlines

Looks like QB commit, Tyler Macon, plans to enroll in January, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic. He will join Travion Ford, who announced within the last few weeks that he too wasn’t waiting until summer to get on campus.

Another day, another watch list for Connor Bazelak! But wait, look who else is listed here! It’s our Thiccer, as Nate likes to call him, Harrison Mevis!

A team that stays together will win together. Helluva video from the football twitter.

On to the links! But first, do you have your voting plan set up? I’d love to hear what it is! I’m voting early next week when I attend my Election Day poll worker training.
