Hate Missouri Week.
-
I saw a supposedly seriously posted question on Twitter, you know, X, the other day asking why do KU fans hate Missouri so much. It was pretty evenly answered by people living in Misery and people living in the sunflower state.
The hatred is real. They can’t tolerate us because some Jayhawkers attacked Osceola and killed some slavers there. Of course the raid on Lawrence was far worse and resulted in a large loss of life. It’s great to be able to say we hate them simply because we’re on the right side of history in the conflict. Typically some of them uttered some nonsense about states rights being the issue while others cried foul on that and gave the reason for what it really is.
When I arrived on campus I was unaware of this history. I’d grown up with Bears/Packers and thought that was hatred but that was ‘you suck and so does your grandma’ type of hatred. But suddenly I got immersed in this rivalry and it didn’t take long for me to develop my own hatred for all things Misery.
I don’t think all the pent up hatred and anger towards them is going to help us this weekend, but I hope I’m wrong.

They never finish the sentence, states right to what?

I honestly have zero idea of how in the hell they can recruit black players with the history they proudly share. There will be thousands of folks in the stands wearing Quantrill shirts that say burn baby burn. It would be like Germany wearing hitler shirts to the Olympics.

@kjayhawks I’ve wondered the same thing.

Anyone interested in the history of the evil wrought by the miseryans should read the book “The Englishman in Kansas” by TH Gladstone.
