I know MY sign.

But I want to know what is OUR sign?

As many of you know, I am not a Mizzou alum.  Neither is the man who brought me into this crazy fandom.  But I am originally from Texas, the home of

And as the Missouri football program has flourished, so has their fan base.  And the number of Tiger bumper stickers, license plate frames and even tire cases has skyrocketed in the Kansas City area.  It is actually very exciting to see.  It is even more profound when walking around malls or grocery stores in KC.  The Tiger fans seem to outnumber the Beakers (at least in KCMO) which has not always been the case.

When I see someone in person with a hat or a shirt, I always say, "Go Tigers."  Sometimes it shocks the person but most times, I get a "Go Tigers" back. 

But what do you do when you are in the car?  The Longhorns have their sign - what is ours?  I don't like to honk (and you know it is against the law to just randomly honk) and sometimes I wave to the point of my children wondering if their mother has gone insane. 

Do we have a sign?

Over on the west coast...

We were walking to downtown early on an April Saturday, and across the street I see a family, with the father wearing a Mizzou hat. (I of course had mine on)

From my side I started the M-I-Z and in kind, at first shock and bewilderment, Z-O-U was the reply.

 However, if I were closer to more fans I don’t think I would react that strongly……but I might!!

I know what our sign is to kU fans!

I do like the handshakes meme, perhaps that can be it, however one needs to be in the vicinity and not in another car on the highway. hmmmmmmm……………………

I call upon the RMN powers to combine!! Form of………………quick hand signal for fan base!!

I will also say something to someone wearing Mizzou hat/shirt

I do agree that it’s probably more because I don’t see Mizzou fans very often living in Florida.
