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.

I do think you hit the nail on the head regarding Mizzou being the link. I am from KC area and other than Senior trip to St Louis, never heard much or thought much about the Gateway.
But when I went to Mizzou quickly learned to spot the SL kids. My roommate was from St Charles.
