Missouri Is Reportedly Refusing To Play Kansas In The Liberty Bowl

Apparently, Missouri is being a little bratty about their Liberty Bowl matchup. Per Action Network...

quote:
The Border War between Missouri and Kansas has been dormant since 2011, but there was an opportunity for the iconic rivalry to resume in the Liberty Bowl this month.

There was just one problem: Missouri didn’t want to play Kansas, so the matchup will not happen, industry sources told Action Network.

The Jayhawks, who are making their first bowl appearance since 2008, were not opposed to playing the Tigers in a bowl, sources said.

Schools provide their bowl preferences and the conferences, bowls and schools usually come to an agreement whenever possible. It’s not unusual for schools to request not playing certain opponents in the postseason, sources said.

The Liberty Bowl is one of three that matches SEC vs. Big 12 opponents. The other two are the Sugar and Texas bowls. Missouri and Kansas are both 6-6.

Why wouldn’t Mizzou want to play Kansas in football? Seems like an easy win.

Why would anyone want to play Kansas in anything?

Didn’t do UK any damn good. We absolutely did not want to play Iowa for the second year in a row.

If I were Sankey and Mizz AD called and told me that shite, i would absolutely kick them out of the conference if they didnt play that game... BS...

If I were you I would shut up! MU got to play Wake Forrest. Not too bad and it is in Tampa! Arkansas took MU spot. No big deal!

LSU-MNCBABY•17 months

Can we kick them out of the sec yet?

This a fake leak from Bill Self to his knob slobbering lackey Brett McMurphy. KU refused to continue the series.

KU plays Missouri in basketball next weekend.

TrueLefty•17 months

Football is what KU refused to continue the series! Basketball is in KU favor and more likely win the game. Why not football too? Because KU has been dodging to continue the series in football.

* Basketball is in KU favor and the team is more likely to win the game. Why not play football too? KU has been dodge to continue the series in football because they aren't very good in football for 10 years!

Guys, he was rehabilitated at Liberty under the righteous tutelage of Mrs. Falwell, under the watchful eye of Mr. Falwell. He’s totally good now.

Wrong story. Oops.

Let them sit home. Who gives a shite?

Champagne•17 months

You can't force the Players to play, so, if you force a TEAM to play, perhaps there will be no Players on the team at bowl-time, so, the Team will have to forfeit the game and the Bowl isn't played? Might as well just let the Team opt out in peace.

You think players don't want to play Kansas??? Get real

Rebel•17 months

Supposedly Missouri doesn’t want to play Kansas in football because Kansas won’t play them in basketball.

geaux99•17 months

Yet KU is playing Mizzou in basketball next Saturday.

TrueLefty•17 months

Have you seen any MU-KU football games in the regular game since MU left for the SEC? Wonder why? KU refuses to play MU as an out of conference game in any of those years when MU left the Big 12 conference.

GROW THE F UP AND PLAY BITCHES

Kick them ouy of the SEC

Placekicker•17 months

What an entitled, woke mindset to have!!! Who the hell are they do demand anything??? Fine, let them stay home. My team, Auburn, would gladly take their place.

Woke? Both Kansas and Missouri are Uber Racist. How do they become woke?

AggieHank86•17 months

“Wone” is an annoying term, even when used “correctly.” Doubly-so when used incorrectly.

CBK•17 months

Frickin’ Misery, errrrrrrrrrrr Missouri can just stay the frick home then! Bowl games (below the CFP) are meaningless exhibitions, and besides getting young guys more practice time for the following season they are useless.

TaderSalad•17 months

Wokesters being little bitches again… can we kick them out now?

RamboMizzou•17 months

Imagine believing Brett Mcmurphy over Mizzou football and Eli Drinkwitz over the matter. Lol

Everybody gets a trophy bowl

BigFatPig•17 months

How the frick do 6-6 teams get to dictate their bowls? And, we are 6-6. I'm just glad we get to bowl, IDGAF who we play or where it is. Misery is a bitch. Their super bowl was beating us to become bowl eligible.

Gus Tinsley•17 months

Exactly what I was thinking. They are fortunate that someone wants them. SEC should step in or kick them out and let someone else in.

TrueLefty•17 months

Congrats on the Memphis Bowl against Kansas. Missouri dodges a bullet on going to that Bowl. Good Luck. Hope the weather would be nice in Memphis on the 28th of December.

TrueLefty•17 months

Bowl Projection from CBS for Independence Bowl is Memphis vs Missouri. That is weird!
