We’re playing them starting in 2025. BOOOOOO.
-
Hell yeah!
-
As long we’re competitive by then, and I don’t see why we wouldn’t be at that point, I’m down for it. I’ve always wanted the rivalry to renew so we could get back to winning record against those dirty slavers.
-
Not a fan of ever playing them!
-
I can’t wait Muck Fizzou!

KU needs a big time rivalry game for regional/national TV purposes. The KSU game won’t ever be that, because that game isn’t important enough outside Kansas, and neither team has the history or national pull like an Alabama-Auburn or Florida State-Florida to make it a nationally relevant game.
KU-Mizzou has history and can get regionally/nationally relevant even if both teams aren’t ranked high. That is a huge opportunity that KU has missed out on over the last several years.

Update on this. No games in Arrowhead. Yay!!

Have they announced this yet and I just missed it??
That’s the right move to only play campus games. I went to all of the games back in the late 2000’s at Arrowhead and while it was fun despite the outcomes it was so damn toxic .

Msybe Missouri will settle its lawsuit against China by having the game moved to Beijing. And KU could wait until MU takes off, then go home instead.

Not yet, but it will be pretty soon.

The renewal of the Border War has officially been announced as a 4 game series starting in 2025. The first game will be in Columbia 2025, a return game in Lawrence in 2026. The third and fourth games will be in Columbia in 2031 and Lawrence in 2032.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I like it, dislike that it’s not yearly and still 5 years away. I really miss the old B12 days. I believe we had the second and third longest uninterrupted rivalries on this side of the Mississippi with them and Nebraska.
-
Hopefully, by 2025 KU will be able to put a team on the field that we may all be proud of. I’m really worried about the QB position this year. I’m concerned that after a couple of games this season, I’m really going to wish Carter Stanley had another year of eligibility.
-
@stoptheflop Carter was just so up and down. Looked like a Heisman hopeful against BC, Tech and Texas. Then looked terrible against Coastal and TCU, his inconsistency was a huge factor last season. I think the defense will be improved with a fair share of guys returning. We will miss Bryce and Mike on the back end. I’m pretty excited about Prox and Potter at linebacker. The biggest question mark will be the offensive line and QB. I feel like that has been a question since MM left every year. I think this Covid 19 hurts schools like us that need improvement more so than a top tier group with 4 and 5 star guys. We just need to break that damn 3 win barrier and show some improvement 2021 should be a team that’s capable of making a bowl.
-
I think this team will be worse. On paper, lose almost all the production in the secondary (I don’t think Coe will be back), QB, and a decent amount along the lines. We’ll be at the same numbers scholarship wise, just younger. The junior class is essentially empty.

@kjayhawks I wonder if Nebraska, Missouri - and Colorado are happy with their choice to leave? Seems like they all have basically disappeared from the D-1 sports scenes. Maybe they should have got therapy and just worked it out with the Big 12?

Colorado - I’d say they are happy. They were always an outlier in the Big 12 with the time zone, so moving to the Pac-12 made a lot of sense for them. They haven’t fielded good teams since moving, but they hadn’t fielded a strong team in the weaker Big 12 North since the early 2000’s anyway.
Nebraska - mixed feelings. Nebraska is happy to get rid of Texas, etc., but I don’t think they got what they wanted from the B1G. With expansion including Maryland and Rutgers, I think Nebraska is a bit frustrated. Yeah, it’s more money, but they didn’t join the B1G for Rutgers. They joined for Michigan and Ohio State. Initially they were pretty happy, but I think the further expansion wasn’t what they wanted.
Missouri - tending towards happy. They make more money in the SEC than they ever would have in the Big 12. They get more exposure in better recruiting areas. It has hurt their basketball team, but their football team is where they probably always would have been anyway. Mizzou is going to be like South Carolina or Arkansas - in the right year, they can jump up and win their division in football, have a strong basketball team every now and then, but always will be chasing LSU, Alabama, Florida, Georgia in football, and everyone will be chasing Kentucky in hoops.
Texas A&M - very happy. They have a couple of great new rivalries (LSU and Arkansas). They make more money. They were never going to be dominant in the major sports, so making more money is a win for them.

@justanotherfan LOL - that’s how insignificant A & M is to me - I forgot all about them.
