I've lived in Missouri since 1998 and never heard the song, I'll look at that a lil later.
Really? Aside from being the state song, the band plays it at all home games.

Calling yourselves Yankees offends my Yankee blood.

A Neuralyzer is used on the entire stadium at the completion of the song - you must have been wearing polarized sunglasses... I'm guessing from a reputable and trusted brand: a nice set of reflective Flame-glass Oakley M frames are guaranteed to do the trick.

Well, hey LSU fan in Missourah, at least you're watching the Cardinals tonight. I hate you a bit less now.

I'd like flame glass lenses. Can I see trolls through those badboys?

Oh yes. Example - SunHog seen without said glasses:

It's not about what you can see. It's more about what you can't (the blinding rays of the sun). Since the glass is the color of the sun, it literally reflects it right back into space, and chronic damage such as cataracts can be avoided.

Nicely done, ATX! Good off-season entertainment. The original lyrics are on the wikipedia page, not a surprise that they changed them.

Here is what a MU professor has to say:
Yankees click here
I'll provide the highlights, too:

What he is sure about, however, is that MU's culture doesn't fit the culture of the Southeastern Conference.
quote:
"Essentially, the entire town became more or less gridlocked because of the game," he said. "And if you weren’t going to the game, you had a choice—either you sort of hunker down for the day, or you got the hell out. You don’t get that in Columbia."
quote:
Columbia may not be strikingly different from university towns of comparable size in Northern or Western states.
quote:
“The university doesn't strike me as having a Southern culture,”
quote:
“One of my friends jokes that Columbia’s not in the South, but you can see the South from Columbia,” he said. “That's pretty close to true.”
quote:
While the culture of football and its traditions aren't identical across the SEC, game days are steeped in the foods and fashions of the South, including showy dresses and bow ties as well as fancy tailgate affairs with gumbo and other Southern cuisine. At MU's centennial Homecoming game this fall, jeans and sweatshirts were the outfits of choice, and tailgaters' grills were loaded with hot dogs and hamburgers.

Since Porker Face only posted the parts that fit his agenda, I'll post the rest.
quote:
"I like saying that Missouri is the northernmost Southern state”
quote:
The editors of Southern Living magazine recently named Columbia one of the best Southern college towns. Features editor Jennifer Cole said it received this distinction because the city exhibits Southern charm, and there’s a sense of community that’s intrinsic to Southern towns.
quote:
Boone County, situated in the middle of Missouri, rests in "the heart of Little Dixie," author and Missouri Southern culture historian Gary Gene Fuenfhausen said.
quote:
Historian Douglas Hunt, associate professor emeritus, sees Columbia as "a university town built on a Southern chassis." It was founded by families from the South at the beginning of the 19th century, and it was dominated by them for generations.
quote:
Harold Westhues, who was tailgating with highball glasses and a black tablecloth, was more accommodating about a move to the SEC. "We have more of a Southern heritage," he said. "We were a slave state. We're Southern enough to fit in."
quote:
Karl Wiggins, who writes a blog about Alabama football and SEC sports, offered his take on whether MU would be a good fit for the SEC. “?Outsiders view the SEC fan base as one entity culturally, but it is a mix of Southern and Eastern, Appalachian and Ozark, redneck and old money, football elitism and cultural defensiveness, Cajun and country, and 15 different kinds of barbecue,” he wrote. "You guys will fit in fine."

It's all good. Some people are obsessed with being all things "Southern" and have a comical distaste for "yankee, northern states"
