The University of Missouri—Columbia is located in Columbia, Missouri. It is most often referred to as "Mizzou", "MU" or simply "The University of Missouri." The Missouri Tigers are members of the Big 12 Conference and Division I of the NCAA. Their colors are black and old gold.

The official mascot for Missouri Tigers athletics is Truman the Tiger, who was born on Sept. 16, 1986. Truman was named following a campus-wide naming contest in honor of Missouri's only U.S. President, Harry S Truman. Previously MU had two mascots, a male and a female, but neither had an identity. Truman was acclaimed the "Best Mascot in the Nation" for the second time, in national competition in 2004.

Today, Truman can be seen cheering on the Tigers and mingling with supporters at Mizzou athletic events as well as pep-rallies, alumni association functions, and frequent visits to Columbia area schools.
