I've been in for Columbia 23 years, put two kids thru Mizzou and now have a grandson who lives here also. Looks like I'm staying. Orignally from NE Iowa, Cedar Falls. Maybe we Missourians should have our own "WingNite".

Former "Show Me" guy. Kansas City. Moved to Nashville a year before the Royals beat the Cards for their only World Series.

Maybe a wing nite/paddle in the Ozarks. Not such a long drive from Nashville.

We all have to believe in something. I believe I'll go paddle.

I grew up in Kirkwood, MO, and Des Peres. Now live in NW suburb of Chicago. Only rarely get to the St. Louis area any more. Only have been to Columbia twice. Once for a 1 week computer class at Mizzou in about 1969, and the other for the 1972 state basketball game between Kirkwood and Raytown. Sorry, no wingnite for me in in the ShowMe.

While I live in Wyoming now, I grew up just north of Columbia (I am like the 3rd or 4th to say that, are we neighbors?) We spent almost every summer near Grand Rapids, MN. My parents and brother still live in or around Columbia.
If there is a wingnight, allow me to jokingly suggest Perche Creek. Sounds like our backyard!

I am a long time Columbia resident. Rooting for the Tigers through good times and bad has become a habit. My Dad's family is from Climax, Georgia. The move to the SEC has made for some interesting family discussions.

Our regional airport has just announced that we will start having direct service to Atlanta this summer. I am sure this is a direct result of the move to the SEC.

Things will be interesting.

I also have many canoes, vans and trailers with the Meremac River just a few minutes away. Expect to hear more in July or August on some potential dates. Great to see that there are so many with connections to Missouri. Would love to see all of you at camp in Fall!

You would be welcome to bring your camper we have plenty of open field space for you to park it. We do not however have water, or electric hookups for campers. We are a camp not a campground. You can stay in a camper or enjoy one of our cabins on the property.

I will work on some possible dates throughout the summer and post some possibilities to see when we can get the most people together.

I don't know where you got this info, but you are way off track - Mizzou didn't leave because they can't beat anyone - they are looking to make an improvement in their competition and want a more stable situation than what has been going on in the Big 12. Mizzou-rah! lives on!
