Mizzou fans, does the state of Missouri follow CFB passionately?

Growing up in the Deep South, conversation often centered around SEC football.
On any given Saturday, most TV sets (upwards of 75%) in any given Southern state are watching their SEC team do battle.
What's the percentage up there in the Midwest? 33%?
I think 40% of Kansans watch the Jayhawks or Kansas State play football every week.

Some of y'all need to get out more. Travel.

Joining the SEC elevated the exposure and interest, but given the established pro teams I doubt it ever reaches a Deep South level.
St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs are the two fanbases that come the closest to a collegiate passion level.

Lol.
40% may watch whatever front running program they're pretending to root for that year.

Meh, Ill give you a 3/10. It should be a 2/10 but the use of "kansas" in your OP bumped it up just a bit.
Overall you are still, generally, a shitty poster.

KState fans are passionate but not numerous. ku fans are numerous (because of basketball) but could not care less about football. No way 40% of Kansans watch those two teams play each week.
Missouri folks are a lot MORE passionate than they were in the 80's when I was a kid, but a lot of that is because the games are on TV. When I was a kid I didn't know anybody other than one neighbor who went to Mizzou that was a big Tiger fan. I wore a ku sweatshirt that my Mom got on clearance somewhere to their house one day and I learned real quick that wasn't going to fly
But now you see Mizzou gear all over my hometown where you wouldn't have seen a fraction of that 15, 20 yrs ago. But it'll never come close to states like Alabama because of the Rams/Chiefs/Blues/Cardinals/Royals/SportingKC.

Yes it might not be all for Mizzou. You have Missouri Cities like KCMO, STL, St Joe, Joplin bordering other states. Springfield less than an hour from Arkansas state line. You get people following different college teams. Then add in the numerous Div II schools in the best conference in D2, people follow the smaller schools.
In the Joplin area you get a mixture of Mizzou, Arkansas, OU, Okie State, KU, K-State fans. You'll get a lot of people from Kansas and Oklahoma coming over to Joplin to work, so you'll see out of state college tags on cars.
