It’s a beautiful day in late October, Mizzou Football has a bye. So… let’s watch some college football?

I likely won’t be watching, but only because Mizzou Football has taken up so many Saturdays to this point, it’s left so many other parts of my home life unattended. Things that need tending. Like lawns!

But the best part about a bye Saturday is the stress free weekend. Worried about the Arkansas game next weekend? Don’t! That’s next weekends problem!

For the rest of the sport, it should be an eventful day. There are six ranked teams who kick off at 11 am, including three road teams. But there are only two ranked matchups on the day, Ole Miss at Texas, and Houston at Utah.


ICYMI, Mizzou Basketball held court at Kansas State last night and took down the Wildcats 71-67. You can read my 5 takeaways here.
