When we kicked off offensive line preview week, we got a message in our Rock M writer page from our esteemed Football Maestro Nate Edwards (i.e. Nate the Great) characterizing the offensive line write ups as, “not as sexy as the skill positions, but still very important.”
First off, Nate, stop kink-shaming. Some people find offensive line tape very sexy, and it’s pretty insensitive of you to say otherwise. Second (and I know Mr. Edwards agrees with me here), there’s actually a pretty notable exception to this general rule of thumb in the recent past of Mizzou Football — that’s the Justin Britt-Max Copeland-Evan Boehm-Connor McGovern-Mitch Morse powerhouse that was doing the dirty work in 2013.
