ArKansas, WTF?
Arkyologist
Arkansas became a state in 1836 well before Kansas entered just a few months before Lincoln's War in 1861. The indians there were the Kaw. The indians that Arkansas were named after were the Quapaw, completely unrelated. As an aside, from what I understand, people from the Kansas territory were raiding northern Arkansas even prior to the war. It is the Arkansas "aw" River no matter how others choose to pronounce it. No matter, using ArKansas does get under my skin so if you want to continue to at least tick me off, that's a good way. Not sure about others.

As for the article. It does suck. As we don't have the journalistic notoriety of Mizzou, surely you can give us a mulligan on the article.

Well, as much as I don't like Arkansas, it's nowhere near the disdain i/we have for kansas. That state and school suck out loud.
