If you're into hip college towns, I agree. You won't find a big tech scene there though. If it ends up being a good job, that's great; if it doesn't, you won't likely have many other options.
That's kind of the tradeoff of hip college towns, right? The good news is that if you're willing to relocate there, you're probably also willing to relocate away from there.
In Columbia the only big tech employers I know of are Veterans United, Carfax, IBM, and the University of Missouri (I work for the University). Outside of that opportunities are limited. There are some smaller shops, and of course people working remotely (for the likes of Zapier, Heroku, and Mozilla). If you're curious about the scene check out http://devcomo.com/
