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.
Their spirit is now embodied in the MU mascot - "Truman
the Tiger." Named for the Missouri-bred President of the United State
- Harry S. Truman - the mascot performs at all MU football and basketball
games, and many other athletic events. Truman also makes numerous civic
appearances, at schools, hospitals, county fairs, etc.
Twice in the last eight years, Truman was acclaimed "Best
Mascot in the Nation" in national competition.
