re: Kansas is ready for Friday's Border War

I already said that they did things that were despicable. You’re acting like it was the majority of the group when there were rogue groups and guerrilas that at would do these things as Jayhawkers. Yet you’re ignoring that the Bushwhackers were just as bad and led a full scale invasion where they burned a city down and killed over 200 unarmed people, which was largest-scale attack in the entire Border War.

"I was disappointed in the rivalry, the turn that it took today. I thought that was uncalled for. This is about two teams playing football. And especially on 9/11, when we need more unity now than ever before, to be putting some stuff on your screen, celebrating. I mean, everybody's got complicated pasts, you know, and to make that an icon, it was bizarre to me," Drinkwitz said.

"And so I'm just glad that this whole right-versus-wrong bull crap that was started just got settled on a football field because it's a football game. It's an American football game. People love to come watch and cheer for their teams. It's not any deeper than that. And I get there's a past to it. But why are we stirring that bull crap up? It's 9/11; this country needs unity now more than ever. And I was embarrassed for them, to be honest. And that's why I tried to embarrass them at the end."
