Rock M Nation, a Missouri Tigers community

This is a fanpost I wrote on The Rivalry, Esq. asking some Big 10 fans what changed, in their opinion, to push Nebraska ahead of Missouri on the Big 10's wish list. Some interesting responses, though for the most part it comes down to the expected "Cornhusker football > Tiger football".

Kansas' president is flat out asking Missouri and Nebraska to look out for them.

I recently spoke with GopherNation from The Daily Gopher about the Missouri perspective on expansion talks.

I'm not sure that Mike McKean, Charles Davis and Lee Wilkins could have summated my thoughts any better than they did in this segment. This is EXACTLY the type of reaction/response I wanted to see from J-School brass. You can listen to this specific segment by clicking the headline above. Major thanks to darklighter09 for the heads up. The video of the full show is available here.

You know that whole "accelerated timetable" thing? Nevermind.

For those who are interested, I took part (along with Peter from Burnt Orange Nation) in a Big Ten Expansion-themed podcast over at Black Heart Gold Pants. Peter and I can be found in Part 2 (breaking podcasts into more manageable sections...hmm...that might not be a bad idea, eh?). There is a level of production value here to which The Fastest 40 Minutes in Podcasting can only dream of aspiring. Thanks, BHGP people! If we ever do make the move and are looking for a Big Ten version of the Unholy Alliance, just know that we can make fun of Northwestern with the best of them. And we don't think Illinois is a real school either.
