#6 The No Shirts, No Shoes, No Service policy stops half their fans at the gates.

Whine Time
The transition from November to December is usually a time for putting up holiday decorations and planning family trips to see relatives. However if you are a Mizzou fan it is time to start creating excuses for yet another disappointing football season and ultimately accepting an invitation to another mediocre bowl game.
You see Mizzou fans have the the unique ability to see greatness where there is none and then blame the team, media, and even other fans when they realize they were wrong. When expectations and results don’t match up someone has to take the blame. Then come the excuses.
A common excuse is that the Missouri fans don’t travel well, and there is certainly truth to that. Just look at their pitiful history in attending Bowl games. But in reality the bowls are more worried that Mizzou fans WILL show up. It’s like inviting an group of ex-convicts to your wedding. Just look at last year’s Texas bowl which saw the Tigers band disrespect Navy after getting embarrassed on the field, by blasting their fight song during the historical Navy Blue and Gold.
Whiny fans are one thing, and thinking your above a bowl game that you end up losing is another, but if your band can’t even behave then you have problems.
What others are saying about MIzzou’s fans:
“Year after year, Mizzou fans complain about this travesty. And year after year Mizzou fans fail to support the Tigers to the maximum, thus perpetuating the problem.” – St. Louis Post Dispatch
“The Missouri Tigers may perform well on the field, but the fans do not provide the support required to make them an attractive bowl invite.” – MrPressBox
“It’s looking like Mizzou will be considered the fifth best team in the Big 12, which would be disappointing to Missouri fans.” – SB Nation – Kansas City
Border War Voodoo Doll
Another Border War football game means another edition of the Mizzvoodoo Doll. Just download the pdf, print, cut and fold. Now you are ready to impact pain through the ancient art of voodoo.
We are the Tigers!

This video is so true, Fizzou always talks a big game up until they collapse (it happens every year) and then start blaming others for their misfortunes.
Fortunately for them they usually have one big win to hang their hat on when the team starts to crumble. They got it this year by beating a #1 that has done nothing but plummet in the polls since.
Will Ferrell Hates Mizzou
Will Ferrell believed the Missouri Tigers were overrated. He was right. The Huskers dominated poor old Fizzou 31 to 17. A paper tiger indeed.
Even Chase Daniel Doesn’t Like Fizzou fans
It turns out the same thing that other school’s hate about Missouri is also what former Fizzou quarterback Chase Daniel hates about them: the whiny fans!
Fizzou followed up their Nebraska styled ass-whooping by having a team wide melt down against Texas Tech. In typical fashion the fans started bitching about their team and pointing fingers because they had mistakenly pronounced this team as being worthy of mention.
Chase responded with this tweet:
Tired of fair weather fans for Mizzou! True fans stand behind their team no matter what happens! Proud of them! They will get it back
His optimism is unfounded, but at least he doesn’t throw his team under the bus for simply not living up to unrealistic expectations.

More Excuses…
After losing handily to the Cornhuskers, Missouri decided to focus on a single play to hang their woes on instead of their overall horrible play. Here’s the hit:
I would have to agreed with the over layed text on this one.
Here’s Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini’s response when asked about the hit:
Hahaha!!! He didn’t even know the play that Fizzou fans have been obsessing over for days.
