It became official on Sunday; the University of Missouri is going to be joining the SEC.

The SEC schools are known for various things, nearly as varied as the cultural identity that the state of Missouri represents. One trait that is unanimously agreed upon by people with in, and lamented by people outside of the SEC is that they have more speed.  The source of this speed is as yet unidentified, however this post is not going to address the magical potential origins of this trait, rather how do we increase our speed?

Onward and upward Mizzou fans, or should the rally cry be; Forward and Fast-forward-er? 

In this Fanpost thread leave a comment consisting of something that you do that you can decrease the time it takes to accomplish it.  I would like this to be inclusive to all fans, please post whatever you would like to take on as a challenge. That statement is quite encompassing, so let's keep it PG-ish.

I have been waiting for a new show that covers the animal kingdom that satisfies my reality. I remember fondly old wildlife shows on PBS, that showed way too much of the hunt. This is what made them better. Now you know the reason why I did not sleep through the night as a kid. More recently the History Channel had a very compelling documentary series called Monster Quest that I can only assume was completely real. With an added benefit of continued fuel for my 15 minute naps throughout the night.

 I wish there could be a show that fully describes my reality right now.  I submit to the RMN commentariat the show that marginally satisfies.

I just received this e-mail via Mizzou athletics and wanted to post it at RMN to try and increase the awareness of this cause.

Marching Mizzou is "Marching for ALS" against Kansas in the Border Showdown Game on Nov. 27th. "Marching for ALS" brings college marching bands from all over the country together to raise awareness and funds in the fight against Lou Gehrig's Disease. Marching Mizzou is competing head-to-head with the KU band to see which band can raise the most money. Funds raised through "Marching for ALS" will go towards the ALS Association's crucial patient services programs and global research endeavors.

Link and information after the jump.

The accidental picture of the Banana Suit Man brings back memories of the awe in which we all felt upon first glimpse of the Paterson video of an upright bipedal hominid in a Northern California creek bed, I think we have to take this idea to the people. Furthermore this is required to combat the influx of caped crusaders based off baseball teams which has only diluted the already tumultuous relationships we all have with super heroes that flare fabulous fabric out behind them.

I suggest we take a stand and vote on an official RR Rally Uniform that can, nay, should be worn to the K. Don't think of this as another poll. This is your patriotic duty as a Royals fan to approve a suit, an identity of the fan base that can be worshiped and lore told about through generations. The obvious choice is the noble banana. More patriotic ideas after the jump.

So this is my first attempt at posting anything other than comments.

I found this on KC Star, DeArmond wrote it. I hope the link above works, I actually got really confused trying to figure out the insert button thing. Oh well, I will learn sometime. (Ed. note: I've got your back)

Looks as though things have happened 'and we will all move on'.

Oh this is fun. Apparently posts need to be at least 75 words long and I am only at 67. Well, take that SBN. I am now above 75 words.
