[insert image of Mizzou t-shirt] John: That's the same tiger as Towson's. Thieves!
Me: Well, Mizzou had it first.
John: Are you sure?
Me: Uh, yeah...
John: Missouri wasn't even a state until what, yesterday?
Me: Don't insult my state!
And yes, now I am sure.
Mizzou became a school in 1839. Towson in 1866. So first off, Mizzou was a school first and therefore gets to claim all greatness. Second of all. Mizzou became the tigers in 1890. Towson's tiger didn't show up until 1963.
Third of all, the tigers don't even look the same! See:
I don't know why I even care. I didn't go to Mizzou and John didn't go to Towson. But he was making fun of my state, so I had to prove him wrong. Go Missouri!
