Muck Fizzou

Mizzou puts another feather in it’s racist cap by supporting segregated homecomings. Apparently they think it is a good idea to have a campus wide homecoming and separate Black Homecoming.

It is a shame that MU, who many have thought invented Homecoming, can’t seem to reconcile racial differences during what is supposed to be a time where MU alumni and students come together to celebrate all things Mizzou.

Either they were trying to impress the SEC or they still don’t get that racial segregation has come and gone.

An interesting little website called Seer (developed by Hint.fm) allows you to compare sets of web trends and see how they differ and overlap. Let’s see what it can tell us about Kansas and Missouri.

Terms used: "Kansas Univeristy" vs "Missouri University"

From this first comparison we can see a couple of common terms like Basketball and Football. Not surprising Kansas has a hevaier line to basketball, but also captured the edge with football too.

Terms used: "Kansas wins" vs "Missouri wins"

Terms used: "KU wins" vs "MU wins"

These two simply show the tendency for Kansas to win and Missouri to Win-ston Churhchill. Searches for Missouri wins and MU wins resulted in nothing more than coincidental sentence about the famous general. Whereas the Kansas results show Big 12 and National Championship trends and a nice nod their dominance over in-state rival Kansas State.

via Columbia Tribune: Cottonballs Scattered in Front of MU’s Black culture Center

“Before the Civil War, many enslaved African-Americans were forced to work on cotton plantations.” Now during Black History month, cotton balls were used by a couple of University of Missouri students to send a racially charged message.

Talk of the incident spread via text message, Facebook, Twitter and word-of-mouth later in the morning. Many comments on the subject said it was an example of continuing racism.

Not sure how this got started, but it looks like a couple students on each side of the KU / MU rivalry decided to run a popularity contest between the schools.  The challenge is see which school can get 100,000 fans on their Facebook page first.

As I write this Kansas leads with 68,318 votes to Fizzou’s 67,871. Not too bad considering the contest only started 6 days ago. Even more impressive on Fizzou’s part to find that many people who would want their name permanently associated with the school. But eventually we all know who is going to win, but Fizzou should be able to keep it closer than they did in basketball.

Do your part if you haven’t already and help put Kansas over the top.

I ran across these public service posters the other day and realized that Fizzou fans are all around us. Knowledge is the best form of protection, so if you are in doubt of an acquaintances legitimacy take a look at these helpful diagrams.

If you are still in doubt about whether the person in question is a Fizzou fan you can also consult the the long list of redneck jokes. If the answer is yes to any of them…you have a Fizzou fan.
