A new college football rivalry kicks off this weekend, and this one comes with a little more history than your typical football trophy.

Eureka College in Illinois and Westminster College in Fulton are launching the Berlin Wall Bowl, a new annual rivalry built around the remarkable connection both schools have to Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, and the Cold War. Churchill delivered his famous Iron Curtain speech at Westminster, while Reagan graduated from Eureka College and delivered his famous “Tear down this wall” speech in Berlin in 1987. The inaugural Berlin Wall Bowl is Saturday at Eureka, with Westminster looking to bring the trophy back to Missouri.

Joining Show Me Today are Timothy Riley, director and chief curator of the National Churchill Museum at Westminster College, and Dr. Jessica Brown, Westminster’s Director of Intercollegiate Athletics.

If you're looking for a fun Missouri getaway, you might want to put Hannibal on your list. The Mississippi River town is best known as the boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, and you can explore the places and people that inspired some of his most famous stories. But Hannibal is much more than Mark Twain. Historic sites, caves, riverboat cruises, scenic views, shops, restaurants, and plenty of unusual Missouri history await discovery.

The Accidental Ozarkian, Barbara Baird, joins Show Me Today to talk about what makes Hannibal worth a visit and how you can make the most of a day there.
