Our 2012 Missouri football fan photo superlatives
With Missouri's inaugural SEC season now complete, the Missourian would like to recognize those who demonstrated excellence in game day fashion and festivities.
We asked you for your nominations, and we combed through the hundreds of photos we've collected of fans over the season. Then, a group of journalists used a highly unscientific method to determine winners — we picked our favorites.
Below are the 2012 game day superlatives, fan photo style.
Most "SEC appropriate" outfit
