Border War to start back up??

Your post is there. I have noticed that posts frequently do not display, particularly if you scroll up, I know it happens on the iPad; you need to refresh the browser and it will show up again.
As far as the schedule, on short notice you really do not have much of a choice and have to take what is available. There are events scheduled months, even years in advance and many of those require stages that take days to setup. BTW, the Chiefs are not playing that Sunday.

Yeah, the Chiefs have a Thursday game for next NFL week. Self knows what he is doing.

@KUSTEVE Consider the batteries just the MU students making another donation of goods needed in the 85% of PR still without electricity.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Ahhh, thanks on all points. - -Good to know, was freaking me out wondered where the heck my post go lol. - - Ya guess that does make a lot of sense your right, just had to find ANY kind of open date before the regular season started thanks again - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark What’s this a high horse
? Go figure. … don’t fret think we figured it out …
-
@BShark No worry Chiefs choked for over 50 years, nothing different this season either
-
@globaljaybird Your request for moderation has been granted.
-
@BShark Did I miss something with the banning of @globaljaybird ?
Unless there was something behind the scenes, I sure think we all can handle a few cranky posts once in a while.
-
@DanR I want him here.
-
Shoot I didn’t think could post if you waa banned
-
I unbanned @globaljaybird. Please stop antagonizing people. The nitpicking has to stop.
-
Has anyone ever been banned in this forum before? I can’t seem to recall anyone…
-
@JayHawkFanToo very early on I banned a guy that wouldn’t stop cussing at people. I unbanned him after a day or two, and I think he came back but eventually moved on. All the people on the current ban list are spam accounts.
@BShark is a global moderator, and global moderators have the ability to ban. We’ve talked about this incident and the ban was intended only to be a couple hours for gb to chill out. I hope we can hit the reset button and move forward.

This game with Fizzou is just having sex with your ex-wife after both of you meet up 10 years later at the hospital waiting room seeing a dying relative. Mortality and time passage make you both forget how much you hated each other. Hollywood movies work this sick cliche endlessly. But this isn’t a movie and Fizzourah was the worst thing that ever happened to KU basketball.
If Bill were really serious about raising money, then sell “Muck Fizzou” t-shirts at the game along with fifths of McCormack’s Whiskey with labels reading: “DRINK ME AND THROW ME AT THE MU COACH FOR CHARITY! MUCK FIZZOU!”
Ah for the bad old days!
Don’t do it!
Abusive relationships are sick!
DON’T PLAY FIZZOU AGAIN!!!

Weird, that shouldn’t have been necessary. I set it to two hours so it should have just rolled right off by the time of this post.
-
Oh. I had no idea the bans had a timer on them @BShark. Thats something new since last I banned. Yeah maybe the timer doesn’t expire correctly on this version of the board. Entirely possible.

This is good.
I wouldn’t worry too much about playing them again. Self seems mad that Missouri peopled leaked it first even though it was his idea.
-
Thanks for this ray of hope!
-
@jaybate-1.0 It’s like if you had an old friend that is an addict. Oh I’ve really cleaned up this time, they say. Okay I’ll trust you THIS ONCE we can meet up, just show up sober. Then they show up, high on meth. That’s Missouri.
-
And they cracked the sudafed themselves!
-
Hey, let’s have the players collect sudafed donations and set up two meth labs at center court at half time and have the two teams see who can crack and sell the most Meth to the fans. That will raise even more money…especially if we play the game in Cape Girardeau!
-
LATENIGHT WITH METH
-
THE REVIVAL OF THE BORDER CRACKING WAR!!!
Cracking bad for a good cause!
-
Freemasons playing Black Jesuits in Vatican City could raise some money, too!
How about the Rothschilds vs the Ayatollahs in a natural gas field in Iran? That would raise some money!
-
@jaybate-1.0 Special appearance by Walter and Jessie from Breaking Bad…
-
Thanks for the heads up, I seem to remember now something about it…and I need to remember to be nice to @BShark…
-
@JayHawkFanToo Heh. I’m not going to be banning people right and left. But if all that is done is antagonizing other members I think there at least needs to be a discussion.

PHOF.

@dylans I think you are dead on: Lew would have been able to generate 5x the money, probably with a worthier opponent. Like dragonslayr, I can’t understand Bill Self’s change of heart. What the deuce inspired him to seal this horrendous deal? Is he not in charge of his schedule?
-
@REHawk I think it’s just the least painful way to re-initiate the series. They are dipping a toe in the water, breaking the ice, whatever cliche you prefer. But it’s a pre-curser to a new on-going series while it’s still fresh enough to be able to be revived.
I still say KU owes MU nothing. There better be a big payday for Kansas somehow (experience, money, national exposure, recruiting).
-
I have a sneaky suspicion that there is something going on behind the scenes that we don’t know and probably will not know any time soon. While the story is that it was Coach Self’s idea, MU jumped the gun and went public before the details were finalized obviously trying to take credit for the event which apparently did not sit well with him; I believe this put an end to any thoughts of re-starting the series any time soon or while Self is coaching at KU.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Well, something just doesn’t seem right about Self’s decision. I know that he probably leaps at the chance to get in an extra glorified practice contest with a real outside opponent; but WHY MIZZOU? Seems very bizarre to me. I am an old Missouri resident, and I had hoped to see KU stay shy of treacherous Tigers until I was in the grave. Kansas could have played some other opponent and earned more charity money with less bitter reprisal and grief. Bill Self either is not in control or is a weaker man than I had long calculated.
-
@REHawk I think it was posted on here, Self’s dad wanted him to do it.
-
You all realize this MU embargo is over, right?
-
UK to play Morehead State on Oct 30 for hurricane relief.
S Carolina “in talks” to play someone. I suspect Winthrop or Citadel, b/c Clemson and Coastal are already on schedule.
We started a trend!
-
I am leaning this way. I honestly think KU cold have played Wichita State and the place would have sold out even at AFH with half the ticket going to them; WSU has a very large and loyal following. Or maybe a KU, KSU, WSU scrimmage where the teams ply each other in one 20 minutes half and the event was kept all Kansas. It could have then challenged MU to do likewise with Missouri State and UMKC or St. Louis and raise twice the money.
As far as being Coach Self dad’s idea, why would he suggest something that he knows his son is very adamant against it? Makes no sense to me.
-
If you read Coach Self’s comments apparently it was his dad’s idea (this baffles me) and he went with it but MU leaked the information, basically taking credit for it. I heard from someone that knows someone that is related to someone familiar with the program he was pretty upset and realized once more the treacherous nature of MU and the chances of playing them again are not impossible, of course, but highly unlikely. The SEC-Big 12 series might be the only hope.
-
@JayHawkFanToo See this article: The real reason Bill Self is OK with Kansas playing Missouri — and just this once
“[Self’s] dad was then the head of the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association, and the idea was awesome in scope and spirit: every school from the highest levels of Division I all the way down through Division III, junior colleges and high schools would schedule one more game, with all the money going to Katrina victims…When the disasters hit, Self went back to his dad’s idea.”
So his dad’s idea (from 2004 and not related to Missouri) was the inspiration - but Self decided on Missouri.
-
One correction, Katrina happened in August of 2005 so the proposal to have the games and donate money to its victims could not have been done in 2004 and this was long before MU left the conference in 2012.
Again, I find the selection of MU at this time very odd based on Coach Self’s known opposition to the idea and when other options were available. I still believe something happened behind the scenes that we don’t know. Kentucky is playing catch up and playing in-state small school Morehead State.
Remember that for many years most of us truly believed that KU got over penalized by the NCAA due to the Askew incident that prevented KU from defending its NCAA title, only to find out recently that KU was really facing the death penalty. Sometimes things are not what they seem.
-
Bill is smart. He was being attacked for not playing Misery, so he gets to slay that dragon in a game that has no bearing on our record, while raising a ton of money for a great cause. Plus, it gives us an extra game to prepare for 'Tucky ( which is why 'tucky is playing an extra game as well ).
-
Seems likely that for at least a year, some fans are going to gnash their teeth over the choice of Mizzou. Okay, we get it you don’t like it. And, considering how fast the tickets sold, I am not buying @JayHawkFanToo’s contention that 90% of KU fans are against it. Yes, WSU might have sold out, too. But who cares at this point. The decision is over.
Of course, if KU doesn’t win the title this year, we know what will be blamed.

Thanks for the correction. I don’t get the part “this was long before MU left the conference”. There is no relation between Self’s dad’s idea and Missouri. That was my whole and only point. Again, the article claims Self was inspired by his dad’s idea to play a charity game. He - Self not his dad - then chose Missouri as the most expedient opponent.
I hope that is clear and that no one will think Self’s dad had anything to do with the choice of Missouri. Right or wrong, Coach Self alone determined that Missouri was the best (or only) choice as opponent.

Nice try.
First of all, 100% of KU fans are for the game but at least 90% of the fans are against playing MU. Look at the various KU sports related forums and social media such as Facebook and Twitter and you will see overwhelming opposition, again not to the game but to the opponent. I live in the KC Metro Area and in the last week I have talked to literally dozens of actual KU fans, since this is a popular topic around these parts, and not one supported playing MU.
KU could be playing North Korea or Iran and tickets would still sell out in minutes. You could be opposed to your kid’s future spouse but you would still attend the wedding, right? 9,000 tickets to sell is not that big of a deal and not at all an indicator of approval of the opponent. Most of the tickets were sold to donors for whom this is more of social than a sports event, and students; no tickets were left for sale to the general public.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Well I’m not against it so 89.99999%
I say that because I think those who oppose tend to be more vocal about it.
-
I agree. However on the part about being his dad’s idea and according to the article you cited:
"He didn’t mention that specifically in his public comments on Friday, making only a vague reference to an attempt to raise money after Hurricane Katrina in 2005."
I still find it odd that Coach Self would select MU.

Fair enough.
-
I hope the hoops charity game idea sweeps the country…and at all levels of play, Division 1 right on down to Jr. High. But I am still opposed to Self’s choice of opponent. KU should totally leave those traitors in their own garbage heap.
-
This series is back on. Bank on it.
-
@HighEliteMajor Uh huh.
