Greetings, Rock M Nation readers! Mizzou welcomed nearly 6,000 freshmen (more than a 16% increase) and over 1,200 transfer students to campus this past week, and the overall feeling in the air is one of optimism and excitement. These kids are ready for some football, and the good news is— it happens this week!
The 2023-24 season has come and gone, with some really great performances — football, gymnastics, softball & volleyball, especially — along with some really um... not good ones (basketball, both teams). Fans waved goodbye to athletics director, Desiree Reed-Francois, and countless athletics staffers who fled for better opportunities.
