Finebaum touched on it yesterday and a Mizzou caller in and brought up the Mizzou-Ku rivalary. Finebaum agreed with him after being out there several times.
I told my Mizzou friend about the conversation yesterday in an email and this is the reply I got.
"Actually, the final trigger for starting the civil war was all right here at the border between Kansas and Missouri. Kansas was a "Free State" and Missouri was a "Slave State". The Jayhawkers, as they were know then and the reason for the ku mascot now, came across the state line into Missouri and killed a whole bunch of men, women and children. This prompted the retaliation by William Clark Quantrill and his band known as Quantrill's Raiders to burn the town of Lawrence, Kansas completely to the ground and killing men, women and children. I personally think that one of us should burn the town to the ground again but that is for another time.
When MU and KU met each year in Kansas City, MISSOURI at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs play, you would see a whole bunch of black flags flying from really tall masts with a gold "Q" on them in honor of Quantrill and to let the fu#king Jayhawkers know that we were there to burn them down again. They gave these games as well as all other sports meetings between Mizzou and that "college" on the Kaw River in Lawrence, Kansas the name of the "Border War" until some fuking liberal (ku alum, I'm sure) thought it wasn't politically correct enouGH and they changed it to the Border Showdown. ku never won one trophy--we won every one of them. They got all types of pissed off when we left the little twelve, minus two and joined the SEC. They won't play us now in any sport. It was pretty funny this past year when the NCAA put them in the same championship
regional for women's softball. We hosted the regional in Columbia and they HAD to travel there to get their asses kicked by our ladies. The stadium was extra full that day for that game. We all loved sending the "gayhawks", "yellowbeaks" or "beakers" as we refer to them back home crying to their mommies.
When Norm Stewart was the head basketball coach at Mizzou and MU had to travel to Lawrence, KS for a game, he would always have the team bus driver fill up with fuel in Missouri before crossing into Kansas and the team always stayed at a hotel in Kansas City, Missouri. They ate all of there meals on the Missouri side of the line as well. He didn't want anybody in Kansas to make one penny off of Mizzou or any sales tax or gas tax money go to ku. He is still treated as a god by Mizzou fans.
I absolutely hate the bastards!! If a person with anything ku or jayhawk on it wants into my lane of traffic, I cut the SOB off and prevent it from happening. The ku/MU rivalry is the oldest football rivalry West of the Mississippi River. Hope they all eat shit and die.
Stars and Bars Forever!!!!!!!!"
