RMN hits a milestone

Milestone_medium

While browsing our SiteMeter over the past few days, I couldn't help but notice our hit total creeping its way towards six figures. As of today, we're happy to welcome our 100,000th visit to Rock M Nation! (cue soundtrack)

Now, the numbers pale in comparison to our counterparts at better known sites, notably Burnt Orange Nation, Bruins Nation or Dawg Sports. But the milestone is a credit not to us, but to the growing online Mizzou community. We're glad to know there's a sect of people out there that shares our love of talking Mizzou athletics.

You guys have shared your thoughts, predictions, satire, concerns, and hate with us over the last nine month and 19 days, and it's very much appreciated.

So here's to you, person in St. Louis, who was referred to RMN from the Rivals.com pay board. Thank you for clicking your way over here a 9:56 a.m. CDT. and working your way from the Illinois ticket map to the home page to the College Football Live FanPost.

It's a good thing The Boy is in a meeting

It implies that there's still work to be done, I guess?

I just think he is going to shudder when he sees him :-)

Well...

Your wife never landed a jet on a carrier with a banner that said “Mission Accomplished,” so I had to make do with photos of people who had…

Then, I extend this offer:

Get me that photo with a photoshop-able “Mission Accomplished” banner in the background behind The Boy’s wife, and our buddy Dubya up there will go away.

Zombie Nation?

Somehow I’m not surprised.

Congrats.

Will...I...be...able...to...play...softball...tomorrow?
Oh, no, Mr. Scioscia. At this time tomorrow, you'll barely be able to breathe.

Hey...you've been just as big a part of it as anyone...

You were here from damn close to day 1 if I recall correctly?....

How about something closer to your heart:

The chant sounds vaguely familiar…

Anyone want to let TB from Bring on the Cats tell us what the music is from?

Agreed.

Rock M Nation, pulling into Cliche’ (spelling, but I can’t put the actual accent up there) Station!

Next on the track listing: Rock and Roll, by Gary Glitter!

Then: Eye of the Tiger, by Survivor!

Marching Mizzou...

... has given me all the “Eye of the Tiger” I can take.

Besides, what’s the musical equivalent of the Ric Flair pic that you love so much over at Lone Star Ball?

Freebird.

Played by Lynard Skynard, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Dr. Dre and Beethoven.

Please. Get that weak sauce out of here, rpt.

Oh, and…

And not to rain down on RPT's photoshop parade, but...

Anyone can see your sitemeter stats by clicking on the sitemeter logo. No need to make it look like Skinamax on a Saturday around 3:18a last weekend when I was…wait. I’ve given too much info already.

Haha...

I wasn’t trying to protect identity or anything. I just needed to show what was significant and I didn’t have a highlight tool handy…

That is the best point you've ever made, Beef.

I’m all about Brass Bonanza ever since NHL ‘94…

From here on out, we’re instituting Brass Bonanza as the official celebration song of RMN. Deal?

I won't doubt the awesomeness of Here Come the Hawks

But Brass Bonanza is waiting to become relevant again. Fortunately, Rock M Nation is here to do just that.

First off, I have made a couple of better points....at least I think I have

But I say you have yourself a deal…except I cannot see the link mcboom put up, so I guess it has approval pending whatever the hell he came up with :-)

It would be a good choice

If the team name was the Missouri Blackhawks or some form of hawk. but, I guess the instrumental bonanza is a better call. But I just wanted to post that.
