Border War Renewed
-
@Kcmatt7 as has been said by multiple people KU basketball doesn’t need national exposure. They don’t need to play Mizzou. This game is going to do far more for Mizzou basketball then it does for Ku basketball. It will get ESPN game day talking about them giving them exposure that they would not have had without this game.
What does KU the program gain from this??
Mizzou sucks at basketball. So everyone saying it is better than playing XYZ school is it really? This isn’t going to bolster KU resume for the tournament.
I watch every single KU game so I am not going to circle this game. I look forward to playing Duke, UK, Villanova, Sparty, etc… will I watch the game sure like I said I watch all of them.

@jayballer73 So then we’ll kick their tails. It’s a game I will look forward to every year. My memory of playing Missouri was it was never a guaranteed win. That will still hold true i believe, especially now that they have a decent coach. Cuonzo Martin is a man I’ve always enjoyed watching, all the way back to his high school playing days in Illinois.
If Missouri is a crap school then we’re a crap school because they’re just about evenly ranked academically according to US News and World Report. I hate them just as much as the next Jayhawk fan, they’re right down there with the Packers, and Cubs, just below the Yankees on my hatred scale. But I want to play them.
So with me saying all that I’ve said. - - Now that’s it is going to happen , just curious if they - ( meaning the Big 12 & the Sec ) if they will use this as one if not more of a( Big 12/Sec Challenge ? - -think that might easily play out. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY)

@jayballer73 as long as we r a top big 12 team and they are a bottom sec team, no! Mizzou didn’t even play the last few yrs.

Bad opinions everywhere …

But what is the downside for KU?
The argument against this game from everyone is that it helps Mizzou.
How does it hurt KU?

We have to associate ourselves with the slavers again. Weakens our strength of schedule since we always play a better team than them at Sprint. It costs a lot of money to disinfect Allen Fieldhouse. And we have to associate ourselves with the slavers again. This is like going back to your desperate ex who ran over your dog and gave you the clap.
-
Here’s what is going to happen: KU will beat the tar out of the Slavers in all 6 games. The NCAA will rule that KU is too good and should be punished by vacating all the wins in the series.
-
I look forward to reviewing this thread in 6 years. Should be interesting to see how it plays out… and to see if which motivation for reviving the rivalry looks most likely in hindsight.

Don’t you know MU likes to claim Missouri was really anti-slavery? That the Tigers nickname came from a group abolitionists in or around Columbia — all 10 of them.
I heard MU’s AD say today that those KU crackers be shakin’ now with the border war coming back, or maybe I misunderstood?
My guess is MU fans at every bar in the state are estatic. Meth on the house!
Word is the state legislature in Missouri is disappointed because now they’ll have to actually pay to re-pave I-70 between KC and Columbia.
But the MU fans are wary. Worried that they have, once again, shot themselves in the foot, Stipo style. Or that a camera might catch another athlete in the act — you know, finger in nose, object excised, insert in mouth. What do you use to Chase that? Natty light? Ask Eustachy.
I hear some oppressed rich kid is going to go on a fake hunger strike to protest our appearance at Paige arena even if the cause is fictional. Find a professor to call for some “muscle” to protect him just in case.
One thing though. We know we will never be a game on the way to an MU final four. Over a century of incompetence assures us of that. But each day the coaches drive on Champions Drive. Like naming a street after Casper the friendly ghost. Fictional and lacking substance.
That 1964 indoor track championship remains the shining light for a self proclaimed softball school. And has been the shining light for now for over five decades. Quite an accomplishment to be sure.
MU fled to the SEC because they couldn’t spell BCS if you spotted them the B and the S. Though they’d recognize that scent. Just don’t mention the smell of oranges.

@HighEliteMajor Nice stereotypes

Okay… the rivalry exists again! It’s already been worth it just to read your post.

About time. Everybody makes money. Now do football.

I’m disappointed. My distant relations in NE KS that were MU fans were beginning to watch KU for lack of options and the MU garb was disappearing. Damn, it’s back. Might as well schedule WSU as long as the money grab is in.

@dylans NOOOOO … a thousand times NO (re WSU)

Heard this move was all Bill.

I’ve been thinking about this more and more since its been announced…Yep still love the idea. I hope football joins, I miss the intense games. The KSU rivalry isn’t really a rivalry. KSU has won like 90% of the football games since 1990 and KU has done the same in Basketball. That and being in state, it’s like beating our little brother when he gets cocky. My hatred for Fizzou goes far beyond athletics. The worst place I’ve ever been in this country is Springfield, Missouri or Columbia, Missouri. Abouslutely zero diversity, zero teeth, an abundance of meth and incest. Sadly that isn’t an exaggeration.
-
Speaking of teeth or lack there of. Missouri did invent the toothbrush, because if it was invented anywhere else it would be a teethbrush.

They left the Big12, so I don’t really care if we play them or not. Tradition meant nothing to them, so (“not all of them wanted to leave the Big12, Marco!”) why should we renew the series. They’ve been nothing special since the days of Norm - coach is right, we stand to gain nothing from it (Machiavelli).

They don’t get squat from me. - - - Bad idea to give these guys any revenue from this game - - - - -SCREW - - - MIZ - - -ZOU

It helps Missouri more than KU, but it does help KU. I hate MU, but the only reason not to play them is spite…I’m ok with that too though. The games are scheduled I’m just going to enjoy them for what they are.
