but "Little Dixie"?

Yeah, it's were the most slave owners in Missouri lived at. Mizzou use to play Dixie up until the 70's. Read about that in a book about Mizzou football history. I don't know any other "yankee' school that played Dixie. Doubt if Iowa, KU, Illinois, Nebraska ever played that at football games. Also believe Mizzou use to have a confederate memorial on campus..


And this out of Springfield,MO...
Missouri State University band was in some controversy over playing "Dixie".

Mo. university chief sorry band played 'Dixie'

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Missouri State University is apologizing after its band performed "Dixie" at a site where three black men were lynched in 1906.

That takes some balls.

That's why I laugh when people call Missouri a bunch of "yankees".
