Goober Grabbin has a long rich tradition, in football pile-ups.

The term "Jayhawk" is a term that was to reference anyone from the state of kansas. They were the Union soldiers that fought the Border Ruffians/Bushwhackers of Missouri.

The connection of these knives to Arkansas, and the state’s reputation for the use of the blade, inspired an alternative term to “bowie knife.” “Arkansas knife” and then “Arkansas toothpick” were used synonymously for the bowie knife in the antebellum period. (Only a few references from that period make a distinction between Arkansas toothpick and bowie knife.) In the 1830s, several states passed laws establishing sanctions against the use of the bowie knife and the Arkansas toothpick. The state’s reputation suffered because of its association with violence and the “toothpick,” and some people called Arkansas the “toothpick state.”
some things never change...

No. The jayhawks or jayhawkers were irregular bands of fighters from Kansas who were kind of associated with pro-union causes, but were really nothing more than thieves, rapists and murderers who operated with the Union's blessing but outside their control. Some of them wore red stockings with their "uniforms," which is where the redlegs comes from. The ku football team wears red socks to one game a year.

What's interesting, is that hearing or remembering this history, make Missouri more 'real' to me, as an SEC institution. And also hoping Mizzou gets KU in that B12/SEC bowl thing and the Tigers pummel them 58-2.

Go watch the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales" or "Ride with the Devil". You will never call us Yankees again.

Exactly, Jayhawks were abolitionist's who hated the south. They would terrorize the the southern sympathizers from Missouri and Oklahoma.
