I seriously think the whole Mizzou board rivalry stems from those of us Columbians/Mizzou students that don't come from either city.
When it comes to Columbia, it's 125 miles to either city. I always preferred Kansas City because I liked it a lot more for the city atmosphere in the places I got to visit. It also didn't hurt that TWA had their hub at STL and it was super expensive to fly out of STL vs MCI.
I think that's where it all stems from. Sure, there's the World Series thing and the minor rivalry between normal people in the cities, but it just seems bigger in the Mizzou world because Columbia is so centrally located.

You are stretching it bigtime. I know people that commute to Chicago from South Bend IN, but in no way is South Bend considered part of Chicagoland.
With all due respect, a Saint Joe fan who lives there says he considers it part of the KC MO area, you are from (or are still in) Saint Louis and you disagree? I think he knows where he lives a little better than you.
By the way, South Bend is almost in Michigan and is almost twice as far away from Chicago as St. Joe is from KC, so not really comparable.
