Missouri’s season-opener is a chance to capitalize on offseason fan optimism

First impressions are everything, and Missouri’s first impression in recent years has been lowsy.

The “Show Me State” tends to need to see it first, and then the support comes next. You know what I’m talking about. You’ve seen what it’s like at Kauffman, Arrowhead or Busch when your favorite team is winning. And, well, you’ve also seen it at those respective stadiums when they’re not.

This state will support a winner. It gives a collective shrug of its shoulders when there’s no real reason for faith.

Missouri has started the season 2-0 just once since 2015.
