Call Missouri Team and Fans By Their Proper Name

[Wild Bill]

It's the "Mizzousiers," ladies and gentlemen!

"Mizzou" is such a dumb name, so let's spice it up a bit. Here in Missouri (I live in Zip Code 63040 in case you want to map it), they call hillbillies, "Hoosiers," for some odd reason. (Most of us thought Hoosiers were from Indiana, right?) And Missouri is one of the biggest hillbilly states in these 50 United States, correct?

So whenever you are talking to anybody who has one inkling of an affinity for the University of Missouri, be sure to call the team and their fans by the new proper name, "The Mizzousiers!"

I never understood the z's. Is that supposed to give them some sort of edginess only found in the Show Me state?

The edgy part is that "The freakin' world is flat, the world is flat". :laughpound and that concept is why they don't travel well. They stay near the focal point of gravity at the base of the arch.

Made me think of the scene in National Lampoon's Vacation where they get lost in St. Louis.

Also I call Missouri, Missoura. (Isn't that how they say it there?)

OK, Dave pronounce "Missouri." Can you feel the "z" sound, Dave? It's nothing too deep in a linguistic sense.

In the western part of the state, like around KC.
