Here's a question why do Missouri fans spell it ku? Is it like the sips thing with A&M/Texas?

It pains me to even type the shite in any form whatsoever. But you guys might not yet get some of the other derogatory terms we use for em so lower case is best we can do.

Mizzou 101 - never capitalize the "k" in kansas. Kind of a disrespectful gesture.

I was always told that its not a Proper Place or a Proper Noun. Therefore it is kansas.

kansas is not a proper noun and therefore never capitalized. Just like you don't capitalize the words wasteland, shitepile and so on.

Because there is nothing "proper" about the state of kansas.

It all started during the Civil War. A group of murdering thugs that called themselves "jayhawkers", crossed over into Missouri and burned the Missouri town of Osceola to the ground. They hung several townspeople and raped the women and young girls. After the Civil War, kansas university was built. That is how the ku mascot became the jayhawks. They are named after a bunch of terrorists.
