re: Why do people and writers from St. Louis (not all, but most) hate Mizzou?

I think St. Louis is used to winning championships and since Mizzou seems to always come up short the St. Louisians hate them.

I think it's more like there is some need for certain STLouisians to feel a superiority to the rest of the state.

They can't accept being, as TJMoe put it, as midwestern as anybody, and have a natural impulse to deny being "cowtowners".

I'm a Cards lifers who loves The Arch, The Zoo, Planetarium, Opera House, Grants Farm etc, but I never had much inclination to move to STL when I lived in Mo.
