****ing FAIL.
Actually, when it comes to the Tigers at least, they're equally grounded in state tradition:

Before Quantrill rode against Lawrence, a Kansas group known as Jennison's Jayhawks - does that nickname sound familiar? - attacked Osceola, Mo., and burned it to the ground.

A militia group organized in Columbia, Mo., the home of the state university, to protect the town from marauders. They were called the Missouri Tigers.
