What type of impact do you think you do in the NFL. And also do you mind playing for an east coast team.

How annoying was it to watch Kansas in the BCS game when you, me, and everyone outside of Lawrence, KS knew that MIZZOU was the better team?

Martin Rucker

  (4:19 PM)

It was tough, but I was glad that they won because they didn't waste the trip to the BCS bowl.

Joe Ohio

Is it tough to play in the Big 12 conference as a tight end, I considered it at OKST 2 yrs. ago but turned it down

Martin Rucker

  (4:20 PM)

It's not tough, but you have to perform at a high level every week because there are so many good tight ends in the Big 12.

Andrew (Columbia, MO)

Hey T Ruck, how has having an older brother in the NFL helped you out so far?

Tremendously. He's a priceless resource to draw from.

Martin Rucker

  (4:22 PM)

I think they'll be great, and I believe they can win it all.

Nik (Two Harbors, MN)

Marting you are an amazing receiver but your critics say you are a below average blocker. Would you agree with them that your blockiing is going to be the no. 1 thing you'll need to improve upon?

Martin Rucker

  (4:23 PM)

I do believe that it is the No. 1 thing I need to improve upon, because I haven't had to do it as much in the spread offense.

Steve (Detroit, MI)

Martin, was Missouri your top choice coming out of high school? I know it's not a traditional powerhouse but from all indications, Mizzou's players love it.

Martin Rucker

  (4:23 PM)

Yes, it was the best fit for me.

Hank (Dallas, TX)

Is Chase Daniel the real deal?

Martin Rucker

  (4:24 PM)

For sure.

Best player you ever faced in college?

What up T Ruck? I know you'll be pretty busy next season, but you still plan on following the Tigers pretty closely next year? M-I-Z!

Yes, and I plan on getting back to see a game somehow.
