Hey, Gov. Jay Nixon, STFU about the Big 12 already

Gov. Nixon — can I call you Jay? Jay, let me give you some advice: It’s time to shut the fuck up about the Big 12 Minus Two.

You’re the governor of Missouri — and a Tigers fan — so I know the impulse is to give your take on what’s been going down. I get it. Everyone’s an expert when it comes to sports. But this is getting embarrassing.

It’s no secret that you wanted Missouri to join the Big Ten. You even talked shit on the academics of at Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, compared with the Big Ten. It’s like raving to your girlfriend about how hot the girl across the street is. And the Big Ten offer? It never came (Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton said as much at yesterday’s presser, according to SB Nation Kansas City).
