From one angle -- Mizzou doesn't get as much following from regular citizens as other flagship state universities.
Sure, yes, of course there are plenty of people who didn't go to Mizzou who are fans.
But it seems that going to Mizzou is usually a prerequisite to being a fan, especially beyond the casual level, and especially in StL and KC.
Other states it's slightly more about just being from the state.
I'm sure there's many reasons for this, but the fact that Mizzou is known as Mizzou and not Missouri might be one reason people psychology detach themselves from the state-tribe mentality.

I have long thought the Mizzou title instead of Missouri was catchy but distinguished the University too much from the state. I don't think it's a major factor but I think it does play in a small amount to dissecting those that have and have not attended.
