The Antlers is an unofficial student group that supports the University of Missouri basketball team. ==History== The Antlers were formed in 1976 when a small section of 11 courtside seats in the school's basketball arena at that time, Hearnes Center, was made available to all students. At the time, all other prime level seating was reserved for alumni and major financial contributors. A lottery was held for the seats and the winners, including Antler co-founders Jeff Gordon (now a sportswriter for the ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'') and Rob “The Hammer” Banning, decided to go all-out with their cheering style to celebrate the new seating arrangement. During their second season in the new seats, someone observing their cheering style dubbed them the Antlers, and the name stuck. The group soon grew from 5 to 22 members when it was expanded to fill all of the seats in A-16. Wild costume and constant taunting of opponents gained media exposure for the Antlers. As they became more organized and their pranks became more colorful, they gained national exposure from articles about them in ''Sports Illustrated'' and ''The Sporting News''. In the mid-1980s, ''USA Today'' even named The Antlers as one of the top five fan groups in the nation. In 1995 the Antlers seats were moved from the front of A16 to the back of the same section.〔(The Maneater - Antlers struggle for seats )〕
