Border War

[lifer56]

There was a really good piece in The Athletic about the actual origins of the KU-Mizzou rivalry. It dates back to the bloodshed, vigilantism and slavery before and during the civil war.

I knew a little about that conflict, the James and Younger Bros, John Brown* and General Order No. 11. But never really appreciated its continued relevance and bitterness today.

Go Jayhawks!

Fun game so far

Not exactly an established rivalry, but another ongoing good game between geographical neighbors right now is WVU vs Ohio U in Athens.

Go Bobcats!!

Rock choke, too bad. Hate Mizzery

 

[lifer56]

Dang. KU needs some 4th-quarter heroics to win this one.

Kansas losing, even after having played an extra tune up game

 

[GeorgeFlippin]

Mizzou with almost 600 yards offense and 40 minutes of TOP. That helps to win games.

 

[lifer56]

Oh well. Ohio U still has a 7-point lead—and the ball!!-over WVU with 3 minutes left.

KU had some critical drops down the stretch.

Excellent game!
