I know this plays into the narrative that there is little support for Mizzou from Missourians, but I'm going to post it anyway.

We've got people walking around in Mizzou gear who appear to have no understanding of why. Too many times in STL I'll see someone with a Mizzou t-shirt or sweatshirt or hat out in public and if it is a game day I might give them an M-I-Z... as I pass. Instead of the expected Z-O-U reply, I get a quizzical look.

Last Saturday before the OU game I saw a woman and her husband at the grocery store. The woman was wearing a Mizzou t-shirt. Being a game day as I passed them I simply said "Go Tigers". It took them by surprise and the husband turned to the wife with a look on his face as if he was asking her "what did he call you?" She apparently did hear me correctly because he just nodded his head after she answered. I walked away thinking they have absolutely no idea that Mizzou is playing in a basketball game tonight.

For those of you who haven't forgotten that Mizzou is in the SEC, you're welcome in advance for the softball.
