Mizzou refusing to play Kansas in the Liberty Bowl.

Another reason bowls should go away and teams should be slotted. If a team refuses they slotted bowl invite, they should not be able to play anywhere.
I think A&M refused to play Texas in the Texas Bowl a few years ago. Not surprising, since they ran away from big brother after getting their *** kicked by them for years. Surprised that Mizzou doesn’t want to play Kansas in a bowl game since they have renewed that rivalry in basketball.
At 6-6 it looks like a hungry person refusing ground beef because it's 80/20 instead of 90/10. I like the matchup because it reminds me of the Civil War Feud they had going on. I'd tell 'em to come to Memphis or send 'em on a Missouri Boat Ride.
Has SEC conference play ever started the week between Christmas and the New Year? I see we play Alabama the 28th too.
ETA: Looks like they started this last year. Seems like a poor decision scheduling wise. Either way Mizzou needs to take what’s given to them or play in BHAM or Mobile.

They have more players from Texas on their team than we do.
They can make the better argument they're more deserving.
They did that to accommodate the SEC/Big 12 challenge games in January. I hope this is the last year of starting that early now that the SEC/Big 12 thing is going away.
But it’s being replaced with the ACC/SEC challenge. No word on when it would be played.
Need to not travel if they complain at 6-6. I bet they try to get Las Vegas to get murdered by ucla. Drinkwitz seems like a little dweeby prick. Could be wrong though. If they don't take liberty they need to go to Birmingham
THey lost to Auburn. We beat Auburn. We both beat Arkansas. We both lost to UGA and UK. How would they be more deserving at 6-6 (3-5) than us at 8-4 (4-4)? Because they beat USCe? Not sure that makes up for losing to Auburn.
I'd like to know more about this. Schools are supposed to tell the conference their preference among the 6 "equal" bowls. I would assume all of us have the Liberty Bowl either 5 or 6. So are they really avoiding Kansas or just ranking the Liberty Bowl the lowest of all the "grouped" SEC bowls?
Looks like an excellent opportunity for the conference to correct the mistake of admitting them in the first place.
Yeah. This is much ado about nothing. This happens all the time. Teams request certain bowls and request to avoid certain bowls and they're usually accommodated. No big deal.
