Such organizations as temporary "home guards" and vigilance companies banded together to fight off any possible forays.
The town's preparedness discouraged any guerilla activity and the protecting organization began to disband in 1854. However, it was rumored that a guerilla band, led by the notorious Bill Anderson, intended to sack the town. Quickly organized was an armed guard of Columbia citizens, who built a blockhouse and fortified the old courthouse in the center of town. This company was called "The Missouri Tigers."
The marauders never came. The reputation of the intrepid "Tigers" presumably traveled abroad, and Anderson's gang detoured around Columbia.
Soon after Missouri's first football team was organized in 1890, the athletic committee adopted the nickname "Tiger" in official recognition of those Civil War defenders."

Yay! Then we have a chance!! :koolaid2:Two words: turn overshuskerpilot said:Home game
One word: focus
Negate either one and we can win.
We could have lost to South Dakota State. I think I'd rather almost lose to San Diego.Did I miss the News that Missouri is magically a better team than Nebraska?
The same team that should have lost to San Diego State?
Sorry, but for using a Danny Hawkins quote and paraphrasing it to sound like something positive for Nebraska should result in a half day ban, suspension, something. C'mon JOEY you/we're better than that.I can't wait to send Missouri home with their tails between their legs. :koolaid2: The worst day as a husker is better than the best day of being a Tiger. :koolaid2:
