What About Bob White?

Missouri State Senator Dan Clemens is trying to get a bill passed making the Kansas Jayhawk the official game bird of Missouri. The current game bird of Muh-zirra is the bobwhite quail, which happens to be a real bird that you can actually hunt, versus the imaginary mascot of Kansas University.

But Missouri beat Kansas in football last year so they're feeling their cheerios right now. That'll get fixed tomorrow night. The schools play each other in basketball Saturday; KU leads the series 164-93, including 11 of the last 14.

Are Missourians really that jealous of the Jayhawks' Orange Bowl berth?

Somebody from the Topeka Capital Journal blogged that "Jayhawk fans should start sending Senator Clemens boxes of oranges a' la the 'Nuts for Jericho' campaign that flooded CBS offices with tons upon tons of nuts."
