When Mizzou decided to switch conferences from the Big 12 to the SEC they tried to convince their new opponents that their fans weren’t as bad as everyone made them out to be. The days of the school band rudely playing over the opponents band were going to go away as well as the lack luster support they showed by refusing to travel to road/bowl games. Surely the students wouldn’t make poorly constructed music videos that insulted both their conference and their own intelligence. The newly motivated fans would show class in face of defeat by refusing to blame everyone but the actual athletes and coaches who had lost the game.
Most of all they would shed their hickish image and leave the camouflage and mullets at home. If Mizzou’s SEC debut was any indication of their progress it seems they might not be able to live up to those promises. Even though their team failed to establish any sort of reputation on the field Mizzou’s fans base was able to leave an impression on these two columnists:

A good number of their players were shaken up or injured during the sixty minutes of game play. And every time, we waited patiently for them to make it to the sidelines. But the first time one of our own went down, they booed him incessantly. I had never seen anything like it.

Even the event staff manning the entrance next to our seats thought it was okay to taunt us.
“Wow, this is the SEC? Y’all are terrible. Are you a Braves fan, too? They can’t beat the Cardinals, either.”
After a heated exchange, the scrawny twerp overseeing our section had the nerve to sic a couple of Missouri state troopers on us.
We greatly appreciated the gesture, as it only took us a few minutes to have him escorted out of his own stadium.

The score was 27-20 with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the yellow began flooding out of the stadium.
Seriously? Where was their loyalty? Their team could have still won it all.
Now, maybe they all have crystal balls in the Show Me State. But regardless, the team needed its fans, and its fans were nowhere to be found.
The University of Missouri must have started a film program based on creating horrible music videos that embarrass the university. How else can you explain the recent litany of “parody” videos streaming out of the Mizzou campus? If you can make it to through the entire video you are A) blind and/or deaf or B) a masochist.
Abe Lincoln said “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt”. The SEC was thinking Mizzou were fools before , but now they have no doubt.
Posted in The Pitch’s column There’s no such thing as a stupid question about KC, right?
It still looks like a bunch on Missourians puked on it.
