This is another thing I don't get. Missouri fans bring up the civil war all the time on here even though Missouri was a slave state. A slave state that lost its own civil war to Kansas.

Y'all act like your from New England, but you have a lot more in common with the South than the North.

"During the American Civil War, the secession of Missouri was controversial because of the disputed status of the state of Missouri. During the war, Missouri was claimed by both the Union and the Confederacy, had two competing state governments, and sent representatives to both the United States Congress and the Confederate Congress. This unusual situation, which also existed to some degree in the states of Kentucky and Virginia (with West Virginia), was the result of events in early 1861."

They swung both ways baby.

To answer you seriously though Tom, yes we know we have a lot in common with the South, more than the North. Something we have been saying since day 1 but it fell on deaf ears...so why bother?

Exactly, they did have good, loyal citizenry like....Josey Wales! That is the Missouri that needs to step up to the plate in the SEC.

Particularly true of the settlers before 1860, pretty much Germans after that.
