To even begin to understand the historic Missouri /kansas hatred you need but watch the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales" or read this brief article

The 1861 Jayhawker Raid in Osceola • Missouri Life Magazine

That those scum sucking leaches from hell would honor the murdering, raping "jayhawks" as their mascot says all you need to know.

I'm nearing 70. Before his death at 90+ yo, my great uncle who was born in 1870 passed on the stories he heard as a child about the farm being burned, his cousin (or aunt?) being raped and another woman in the family burning to death at Oceola. A couple of the relatives sought revenge with Quantrill when he burned Lawrence.

What we have isn't a good natured or healthy rivalry. We could have a 20 gap in playing the despised beakers and the hatred would still burn.

I can’t compete with that. That runs deep.

Years ago it was always “interesting” to visit the Miz/Kansas boards during game week. Busy time at the Sonic.

Mentioned this to some Missouri fans while tailgating in Lex. Acknowledged I knew Norm Stewart was a Missouri native, played and then coached for the Tigers. Told me while he was coach, he refused to spend a nickel in the state of Kansas when they went to Lawrence for a game.

Liked Stewart even more after that.

Ga Tech mentioning GA in their fight song is pretty strong. Bet that game used to be a dandy.

My father is 83 and definitely has strong feelings about seeing a Kansas license plate in Missouri.
