And I am certain you have never been to a Missouri vs. Kansas game. Irrational Passion doesn't begin to describe it.


Well, I'll say this for that rivalry, it is the only one in the U.S. that actually has its roots in actual bloody conflict and killings. The kids who played in the first MU and KU games were the sons and grandsons of people who went back and forth across the border murdering, raping, and pillaging each other.

So, at least they have that going for them.

My family is from that area near the border, and as long as KU continues to use the name Jayhawk, I will continue to fly the black Quantrill flag. Most people, especially in the south, don't realize the history of Missouri and its cultural ties to the south. The SEC has rivalries among the southern states. Missouri and Kansas revive civil war hard feelings every year.
