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

Exactly, but it's more like when the Rams leave and go back to California somewhere, St. Louis will follow Mizzou until some other NFL team starts extorting their current city for 100's of millions of taxpayer dollars. That's when Slay will bend over and let some corporate exec talk him into diverting tons of money into building another ugly arse dome for another sorry team to relocate here.
