So I hear there's going to be a football game Saturday. The #2 Jayhawks play the #4 Tigers at a neutral site, Arrowhead stadium in Kansas City. KU is 11-0 and Mizzou is 10-1. This final regular season game will determine who represents the Big-12 North in the conference championship game. The winner could easily find themselves in the National championship game.
Kansas and Missouri have a bitter rivalry that extends well beyond college athletics. But in spite of the fact that Missouri is a bunch of murdering, raping, slaving thugs, Kansans have put that behind us and focus more on the ball games. In football KU leads the series 54-52-9, beating Missouri for the first time, 22-10, in an 1891 game held in Kansas City, Mo.
This week should be fun!

The scene in the parking lot after the game would be worth the price of admission to get into Arrowhead's parking lot.
Bitter Rivalry + Mizzou hatred of KU + someone's Big 12/National Title hopes gone + alcohol = entertainment for the whole family to enjoy
We have friends who are Michigan State alums who saw them play Missouri in KC the other night. They were stunned at how boorish the Mizzou fans were. It's not like Michigan St. and Missouri have some kind of bitter rivalry going on.
