Rock M Nation, a Missouri Tigers community

Florida athlete Darvin Ruise becomes the latest high school athlete to pledge to Mizzou. As always, H/T to the tremendous work of the Powermizzou staff.

So ESPN's researchers crunched Football rankings and performance since 1936 and Mizzou comes in at #36 all time. Hooray. This is related to a time-killing blogosphere draft of the top 40 teams they are having on Tuesday. Read more about that here.

I interrupt the voting controversy for a link with nothing to do with basketball, wrestling, brackets, or claims of voter fraud (It's like November in May!). The article itself (linked to in the FanShot title, as well) was of secondary interest to me compared to the tables at the bottom, denoting the Top 10 Players, Games, Teams, and Moments in the Big 12 during the BCS era. It's hard to argue most of the picks, but several choices - Mizzou or otherwise - may be up for debate. Are the 2007 versions of OU, MU and KU really the Nos. 6-8 best Big 12 squads since the formation of the BCS? Is Aqib Talib really the 10th best player in Big 12 history during that time period?
