Non-consensus National Championships

Due to the lack of an NCAA-sanctioned Football Bowl Subdivision national championship, third-parties including the Bowl Championship Series, Associated Press, United Press International, and USA Today have often crowned a champion following either the end of the regular season or following the bowl games for that season. The NCAA historically has not endorsed a specific system or champion, but lists several polls or mathematical selectors as "Consensus National Champions" in their NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Records[6] guide.

The Tigers have been declared champions twice by non-consensus polls. Neither of these national championships are officially claimed by Missouri.

Season Coach Selectors Record
1960 Dan Devine Poling System (non-consensus)[6][7] 11-0*
2007 Gary Pinkel Anderson & Hester (non-consensus)[7] 12-2

(*) The 1960 record originally 10-1 but changed to 11-0 due to Kansas' later forfeit.

Bowl appearances (29)

The Tigers have a 13-16 Bowl Record.[8] They have appeared in the Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Cotton Bowl Classic, Gator Bowl, Sun Bowl, Tangerine Bowl (now known as the Capital One Bowl), Holiday Bowl, Liberty Bowl, Independence Bowl, Alamo Bowl, Insight Bowl, Texas Bowl, All-American Bowl and the Bluebonnet Bowl.

Nickname

The nickname "Tigers," given to Mizzou's athletic teams, traces its origin to the Civil War period. At that time, plundering guerilla bands habitually raided small towns, and Columbia people constantly feared an attack. Such organizations as temporary "home guards" and vigilance companies banded together to fight off any possible forays.

The town's preparedness discouraged any guerilla activity and the protecting organization began to disband in 1854. However, it was rumored that a guerilla band, led by the notorious Bill Anderson, intended to sack the town. Quickly organized was an armed guard of Columbia citizens, who built a blockhouse and fortified the old courthouse in the center of town. This company was called "The Missouri Tigers."

The marauders never came. The reputation of the intrepid "Tigers" presumably traveled abroad, and Anderson's gang detoured around Columbia.

Soon after Missouri's first football team was organized in 1890, the athletic committee adopted the nickname "Tiger" in official recognition of those Civil War defenders. [13]

Another version of the source of the nickname also comes from the Civil War era. Congressman James Rollins, a native of Columbia, had been the only border state member of Congress to vote in favor of Emancipation. When his term expired, he returned home. Shortly thereafter Confederate General Sterling Price led an army north from Arkansas into Missouri. This movement threatened both the western and central parts of Missouri. Rollins sought a commission as an officer of volunteers in the Union Army, which he was given. He then recruited a company of troops which was musteres into the Union Army. This company adopted the name of the earlier Home Guard group, "The Missouri Tigers". In the event, Price turned west toward present-day Kansas City where he was defeated at the Battle of Westport, and The Tigers saw no action. After the War, Rollins became President of the University of Missouri. When the football team was formed in 1890, the name was adopted in honor of Rollins's old unit.

Mascot

Truman the Tiger was introduced as the school's mascot against the Utah State Aggies in 1986, receiving his name from former president Harry S Truman. Truman has been named the "Nation's Best Mascot" three times since 1986, most recently in 2004.[by whom?]

Homecoming

First Missouri Homecoming game, 1911

Jeopardy! and Trivial Pursuit, all recognize Missouri as the school that invented and hosted the first Homecoming in 1911, an event that has developed into a national ritual. However, Baylor University also claims the first homecoming after it held a similar event three years before in 1909.[14][15][16][17]
