Unfortunately, my Thanksgiving week involved the death of a loved one, and I came back to Missouri on Friday. Staying with family in the KC area, I noticed something I don't ever remember seeing: Overwhelming black and gold.
Granted, the timing was perfect, given our season an subsequent clinching of the SEC East. That said, I don't recall such a (welcomed) shortage of turd bird stuff in this area...ever.
If moving to the SEC has impacted Mizzou's fan base in KC, it sure didn't show this weekend. I'm not a KC native and have never lived here, so this is anecdotal, at best.
What's not anecdotal is this: I would eat a mile of glass and shite, if it were a trail leading out of kansas.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Mizzou fever is alive and well in KC and I love it. I work at a large facility that has 900 employees and I would bet at least 50% of the front line population had on Mizzou attire. Even saw the SEC East Champ tshirts.

Mizzou pride is alive and well here in KC! I have been noticing way more Mizzou gear lately when I'm out and about. They way it should be!

Much to the media's dismay, Mizzou is by far the biggest fanbase in the KC area. It isn't even close.

We were staying on the Plaza Saturday night. Place was rocking and lots of us Mizzou fans buying stuff at Rally House. Whooping and hollering after game along Ward Parkway on Brush Creek after the game.
It was a blast!

I, too, was in KC (Blue Springs) for Thanksgiving and Mizzou was well represented.
Think KC Mizzou fans are more hardened, intense fans as they are bordering the enemy. Glad to see them showing off their school pride to all the chickenhawks.

There is a silent majority in Kansas City, Missouri. The kansas side is heavily kU. But KCMO is Mizzou territory.

Only been living near KC for a year, but there's a noticeable difference in the amount of mizzou gear on display/being sported. And a noticeable decrease in beaker duds.
Even my wife was commenting on it the other day.
Good stuff!
