You sure keep coming into these threads to keep saying you don’t care.

Y’all sure do keep making dumb threads asking if we know or care about an old rival.

Great rivalry with ties to a brutal conflict.

Everyone knows about “The Outlaw Josey Wales” but I also loved "Ride with the Devil" director’s cut (Criterion Collection).

we don't care because yankee's don't belong in the SEC the first time I'd ever heard any one say "youse guys" was in rockaway beach MO from a big group who'd driven down from St. Louis.

I believe Lewis Grizzard once said he'd rather watch two mules fighting over a stump.

All available data points on Mizzou since entering the SEC shows an embrace of a more Yankee persona when dealing with the other SEC fanbases.

Mizzou has an identity issue. I’m curious if the fans would like to pick one or if continuing to have their cake and eat it too is the plan? Your school mascot is named after a Union militia, but your biggest rivalry is based on you being Confederate but you don’t want to be Confederate amongst SEC people, you want to be Yankees, but then you want to be Confederates again when it’s time to play Kansas. I’m asking, would you folks make up your mind? This Kansas thing has exposed a decade old position Mizzou fans have had with their SEC brethren


All data points? I'm sure your thesis is completely based upon blinded randomized data establishing such strong assertions.

We don't have an "identity crisis" simply because of another one of your absurd assertions. I've never had a discussion with another Mizzou fan on picking Civil War loyalties. It's simply a foolish thing to argue about.

Historically our state has never been unified, and never will, based upon the many cultures that settled here. Our identity s Mizzou Fans is well established and has nothing to do with preferences towards the North or South. Ypu are simply ignorant of the facts.

Seems like you are awful invested in this issue for no apparent reason other than attempting to besmirch Mizzou. MIZ

It’s really not that difficult.

Mizzou projects and has projected for 15 years a northern stance against SEC foes. On all social media, forums, and as a general ethos of their fanhood upon entering the SEC. This is undeniable. To say anything to the contrary is a flat out lie.

Now, 15 years into this act, they’re posting about these “damn yankee red legs from Kansas”. Those words words are on your page rn.

As far as fanhood goes, you all bash The South, use the basic and obvious stereotypes as fodder, and certainly don’t embrace your own history related to the southern-thing as SEC fans. You clearly push against it.

Yet when it’s time to play Kansas you’re not even just playing around, you’re not joking, you’re not just kinda trolling and having some fun with the Josie Wales stuff. You all are like serious about those “damn Yankee red legs”.

This is a preposterous duality that can’t exist.

And no, your history as being divided is not a sufficient argument when it’s not a split within your fanbase and people stay on their sides of the issue. It’s an ever morphing situation depending on who you’re playing that week.

Why are you scooping shite out of an outhouse? Is this some sort of fetish? Not only is it gross but its a serious health risk.

If you didn’t secede, you’re a wannabe


Missouri was moving towards secession but was eventually aligned with the Union.

quote:

Claiborne Fox Jackson was born on April 4, 1806 in Fleming County, Kentucky. The family moved to Franklin, Howard County, Missouri in 1826, eventually settling in Saline County. First elected to the general assembly in 1842, he was named speaker of the house in 1844 and 1846. Senator Jackson was chair of the ways and means committee in 1848 when he presented the "Jackson Resolutions," urging the Missouri congressional delegation to call for extending the Missouri Compromise line into the territories.

Jackson was sworn in as Missouri’s 15th governor on January 3, 1861. A state convention was called in 1861 to decide whether Missouri would secede or remain in the Union. The assembly first met in Jefferson City on February 28, 1861. Jackson aligned himself with the pro-Southern majority and believed that the state convention would vote for secession. Instead, they vacated the offices of governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and the assembly; appointed Hamilton Rowan Gamble as the provisional governor; and called for a statewide election in November.

Ignoring the convention order, Jackson declared Missouri a free republic and dissolved all ties with the Union on August 5, 1861.
He unsuccessfully summoned the old assembly to meet in November (less than a quorum of either house responded) but they still passed a formal ordinance of secession and appointed senators and representatives to the Confederacy. On November 28, 1861, the Confederate States of America admitted Missouri. Jackson removed with the southern sympathizing members of the state government to southern Arkansas after the Battle of Pea Ridge.


The CSA made a tactical military blunder in the early part of the Civil War when they failed to flood MO and Arkansas with a few hundred thousand troops to protect their western flank.......I still think the Union eventually prevails but it would have been interesting to see the Union trying to move a few hundred thousand troops westward to confront the CSA on a more favorable terrain that would have benefited the CSA.

I'm against rivalries being broke up, so it's bad that it's not yearly anymore.

It's broken up because you're in the SEC and that's also bad because you don't fit in here.

But you're so bland and boring that I don't really care outside of principle. Same answer in advance for your inevitable response about how much you've beaten us the past decade. You're too bland to even care much about that.

Daniels is going to light y'all up tho.
