Missouri Tigers News: The legend of the Rock M

Late last week, Peter Baugh put out a phenomenal post on my favorite paid subscription site, The Athletic, about the rock M. You know what I’m talking about... that giant block M made up of a bazillion stones — whitewashed each year by members of the freshman class— that is positioned in the (cursed?) north end zone. Did you know that it’s been around since (checks notes)... 1927 when members of the freshman class carved them from stone leftover from Memorial Stadium’s construction? Newsflash- I didn’t. Regardless of if you know how it got there, you know you have a memory of it.
