I don't think that's fair. The fact that they're still fans despite a championship, or really, hardly any success says a lot.
They would be happier fans if they stayed optimistic about the future.
Perhaps the memory of the Redbirds' win in 06 led them to think it would happen to Mizzou.

I'd be worried about someone if they based their long term happiness on whether or not their favorite sports team did well.
If Mizzou fans weren't "tough," would they keep coming back after all of the failure they've witnessed over the years? The Tigers are like the Chicago Cubs of college sports.

I'm suggesting fans need time to adjust from habitually losing to sometimes winning. Mizzou fans may be more like redsox fans after they blew the World Series in 1986 than like Cubs fans, now.
