"Essentially, the entire town became more or less gridlocked because of the game," he said. "And if you weren’t going to the game, you had a choice—either you sort of hunker down for the day, or you got the hell out. You don’t get that in Columbia."

Brekhus sees Columbia as being two-thirds Midwestern and one-third Southern. “One of my friends jokes that Columbia’s not in the South, but you can see the South from Columbia,” he said. “That's pretty close to true.”
