Will Snead (SneadFeed). Will was born and raised in a small community just outside of Springfield, Missouri. He is the son of a mother who graduated from the University of Arkansas and a father who graduated from the University of Missouri, so it's natural that he was raised as a fan of both schools and was raised between Fayetteville and Columbia. He isn't here to make friends, instead he is here to kick butt and take names while also throwing a killer tailgate. His passions are for the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Missouri Tigers, SEC sports, tailgating, and the South. He doesn't often hate, but when he does it is kU (never capitalize the k!) fans and Yankee scum. He doesn't prefer the term bandwaggoner. If you are going to call him out for being an Arkansas fan and a Mizzou fan, he prefers that you come in with a different word. Make one up, even. He is the second most interesting man in the world. WPS, boys and girls! Follow him on Twitter @SneadFeed.
