The Missouri Civil War.
Okay, maybe it's not that drastic, but to college students, the Mizzou-Missouri State game might as well be. Mizzou and Missouri State haven't played each other in college football since 1923, but the rivalry of whose state it is has shook Missouri since the beginning of time.
Having been 94 years since the two Missouri college teams stepped foot on the same field, there's no surprise that the beef came out to play on Twitter leading up to the game on Saturday. So, in honor of this giant reunion, here are some of the best Mizzou-hating tweets for all the Bears out there.
Anyone from the state of Missouri knows how true this is. Odds are, your entire graduating class went to either.
I mean..........we won't talk about it. *sips tea*
Honestly though. This game is the moment all students have been waiting for, to finally let our hate flag fly. Don't take that away from us, North Korea.
"Mo State = Poor Person Mizzou"......every Bear is thinking what she had to say in response. We're graduating with way less student loan debt, so we aren't too shook, Mizzou.
Missouri State Bears aren't going to act like we're the Alabama Crimson Tide, alright? Because......yeah. You know. The tailgates are where Bears thrive, consequently, but we don't even mind.
Nothing like good old fashioned meme resurgence to demonstrate our love for the Bears.
Is Missouri State known for dominating football? No. But is Mizzou? Also no. No matter how the game goes, and it could debatably go either way if we're being COMPLETELY honest, it's a good time for the state of Missouri. Both schools exercise their loathing of each other and get to play some good old fashioned college football, kicking off both teams' seasons.
Go Bears.
