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.

Driving through the rolling hills of the Ozarks, getting sprayed by the wake on a board or tube as you get tugged behind a boat, helping a neighbor, or simply sitting down to enjoy each other’s company with a cup of coffee on the porch. The most important thing? The community and conversations those memories are worth coming back for.

Creator Tony Michaels sits down with Cameron Conner to outline the new program “Five Minutes In America” and why the fictional town of Coffman’s Landing feels so close to home.

If you’re looking for something a little unusual to see in the Ozarks, there’s a two-headed snake living at the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery near Branson. But that’s just one of the interesting things you’ll find at Missouri’s largest trout production facility. The hatchery has been raising trout since 1958 and produces more than a million catchable trout every year, many of which end up in Lake Taneycomo and other Missouri trout waters.

The Accidental Ozarkian, Barbara Baird, has spent plenty of time exploring the Ozarks, and she joins us to talk about this fascinating hatchery, the two-headed snake, and some of the things visitors might not realize are waiting for them there.
