Missouri is a bigger pro sports state than any other state in the SEC. Most Missourians would rather the Cardinals or Chiefs win a championship than Mizzou. Hell, the Blues and Royals May be put above Mizzou. It seems minor, but look at all the STL and KC icons on the board. It’s a Mizzou board, but they would rather rep their pro team.
You don’t see this in Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, or Texas. Their college is far and away supported more than pro teams.
Also, with football, it seems fans always look for excuses not to go to games. Other SEC schools have the same issues but it doesn’t seem to hurt them.
