re: Mizzou fans--this is why other fans don't accept us as part of their "culture"

Regardless, we are lucky to have both urban areas in our Mizzou footprint. They are both equally important and the longer that legacy parochialisms segregate our fan base the worse we will be collectively in the long run.

I agree with this. Both are fine cities, but I find that many St. Louis folk portray a sort of superiority over Kansas City folk and it's just not accurate. Sure in sports terms St. Louis is the breadwinner of Missouri, but comparing city to city it's just not true. St Louis is the older, more well known and historic city. But Kansas City is younger, growing, and has many of its own great qualities such as BBQ, jazz, and suburban life, as well as a growing population vs the decline in STL. I intend no flame to STL, as it is an incredibly important and major part of my beloved home state, but I feel that many of the citizens there lack a certain perspective.
