Rock Chalk

Go Jayhawks! I think that's three years in a row now that Kansas has beat Missouri in Football. That's right… Football! You probably didn't even know that KU had a football team! Actually the KU-Missouri football rivalry is the oldest and longest running matchup west of the Mississippi -- 114 years straight. They've been playing in what's called the Border Wars every year since 1891.

But Basketball starts in few weeks and that's where it's really at. That being said this may be an off year for both KU and MU. KU has a young team -- no Juniors and only one of three seniors started last year (Christian Moody, who'll be a better doctor someday than he is a ball player). MU… well, they've just got problems. And I'm trying to be kind.

Hopefully Kansas' young players will surprise us before they leave for the NBA or something, but I know that it'll likely be an up and down year.

But any year is a good year if we beat Mizzou a few times.
