From Tigerboard:

Beyond all the obvious issues is the fact that Missouri doesn't need to jump in bed with the most regressive, redneck part of the country. A visit to the Missouri forums can be frightening. SEC fans with their little confederate flag avatars chiming in about how Missouri is welcome to come join their little party because one of the stars on the confederate flag was for Missouri...never mind the fact that Missouri never left the union, fought overwhelmingly for the union and have a mascot named after a pro-union militia. But, then again, what do you expect out of fans that still pledge allegiance to a failed "nation" who's sole purpose and reason for being was to prolong the institution of slavery.

What do you expect? Lockstep admiration?
You're gonna find some that hate this idea.
Who cares? I know Tulane and Tech fans. No accounting for taste.

That board is fricking terrible. How do message boards like that even exist anymore?

This is a border state in the truest sense. Below I-70, it is progressively southern as you head south.Above I-70, hardcore midwest. There is a southern history here that is largly suppressed now. The economy is good here, the people are friendly, and it's a good place to live. Selfishly, I hope Mizzou joins the SEC.

I'm pretty sure there were forums that were better set up in 1995.

Same with WV as to border state, with the exception that 2/3 of the population of WV is in the latitude at and south of Charleston WV - Lexington KY, and is appalachian/southern in culture, always has been, and hasn't been watered down by Yankee transplants. Most of Missouri's population, on the other hand, are yankee midwesterners. Much of the southern half of WV remained in confederate hands for much of the war. Devil Anse Hatfield (WV) was a confederate, while the McCoy's (KY) were yankees

WVU fans would be best served to not bring anything up about it. Your whole existence as a state is based upon being pro Union. Not that it has any real bearing today, but just saying.

And KY was a loyal Union state as well.
Abe Lincoln forced the "secession" from Virginia with northern sympathizers and his troops - primarily because he didn't want to lose the vital east/west B&O railroad - so here we are. BTW - Virginia never recognized the yankee imposed "government" of WV during the war - WV was still part of Virginia and "west" Virginians who fought for the south were part of the army of Virginia.
The SEC hates us, ESPN hates us - even Abe Lincoln hates us

Kentucky was hardly "loyal". One of the stars on the Confederate battle flag is for Kentucky. We had a representative on the Confederate Congress. We were a member of the CSA, we just never got around to leaving the Union. Louisville, Lexington, and all points west were pro Confederacy. The only pro Union areas were in eastern KY near WV.

You should know your state's history better than that. KY was a Union state with the exception of a few counties in extreme southwestern Ky. The "secession" govt of KY was in Bowling Green, near the TN border, and went south to TN a year after the war started, and that was that. All major cities in KY such as Lexington/Louisville/No Ky were Yankee - the whole war. This explains why the McCoy's were Yankees and the Hatfields Confederates.

That's incorrect. Louisville, Lexington, and western KY were all overwhelmingly pro Confederacy, but were quickly occupied by Union troops to prevent secession. At the time Louisville was one of the biggest cities in the South and a major shipping port so the Union didn't want to lose Kentucky. So, yes in a sense, they were pro Union (by force).
This quote says it all:

We would as well consent to separation at once, including the surrender of the capital

well, if they were southern sympathizers, I guess they were fair weather fans, much like UK football fans are today, because they sure didn't put up any fight, and changed allegiance as soon as the sky turned gray.

Sick UK football burn. Wasn't y'alls coach just bitching because only 45k showed up to a game?

if that were the prevailing sentiment, so who gives a shite; let them go elsewhere. it isn't though and it sounds like some wild arse poster that does not in any way represent the fan base of missouri. we all have our koo-koos. well, maybe vanderbuilt doesnt.

Pick up a book and find out for yourself why the war was fought, you pretentious frick.
