20. I know of a school in MO that had the classrooms painted

to match the colors of the teachers' alma maters. Each classroom is decorated with school flags and mascots, etc. The principal is promoting college attendance to the students. But I'm afraid if I told you the name of the school, you'd have heart failure over the Jayhawk colors on MO soil.

I've been known to wear both Jayhawk and Tiger shirts to school. When Mizzou was in a bowl game. I wore a Tiger shirt. Do you think that should be illegal?
