Do you want Mizzou and kU to restart the rivalry?

Wondering how other people feel about this. Personally, I have no desire to ever play kU again. I'm sure that's an unpopular opinion, but that's the way I feel about it.
The rivalry was never fun to me. It was basically a war, and an exhausting one at that. Winning the games wasn't nearly on the level as the frustration of losing them. There wasn't as much to gain as there was to lose. It was not so much "I hope we beat them", as it was "I hope we don't lose". The "banter" with their fans was never fun. It was brutal and nasty. It brought out the worst in both sides. Basketball was usually lopsided in their favor, and football (while not always the case) became lopsided in our favor. Everything centered around "Oh well wait til basketball season" or "wait til football season". Personally, I have such disdain for that university as well as the state of kansas, that I don't even want to play them. I like how it is now. Out of sight, out of mind. I say good riddance. Let it be done. It was played out and devolving into pure hate. I look forward to being a member of the Southeastern Conference and building new rivalries here. Arkansas, South Carolina, and Ole Miss are all lining up nicely to be spirited affairs. We don't need kansas, and they don't need us. We've gone our seperate ways and it should stay that way. Should we meet in a tournament, fine. But other than that, I hope to never play them again.
Sorry for the TL:DR, I'm supposed to be studying for finals and am finding anything else to do instead of it.

Beating them in the BB tourny one time would be nice. I like to see those epic Bill Self meltdowns when his team is getting beat in the second half by Mizzou. Nothing gets to him more then that, and knocking them out of a tourny would be the icing on the cake.

When the move to the SEC was first made, I hoped that the rivalry would continue. Now that we are almost 2 years removed, and after listening to the butthurt from KU and its fans, I truly have no desire to play them on a regular basis.
Their football team is a never-ending shite show and would be a no win situation for Mizzou if they played them.
If their is a benefit for Mizzou in playing them in football or basketball, fine, but otherwise I have no interest.

NO!!

In the past, I would have said yes. But over the past couple weeks kansas fans that I know (high school age so it is probably worse) always feel the need to talk about Mizzou's loss to SC or Auburn or about how their basketball team is great and Mizzou basketball is a joke because we haven't played their schedule. Anyways, the arguing has become even more pointless than it already was. I still love seeing kansas lose but I don't say anything about it because arguing with kansas fans is like arguing with a brick wall, pointless and only makes you look bad imo.

Really the rivalry is toxic, could really care less about playing kU

frick ku. if they want to play Mizzou again they can change their mascot and then we'll talk.

I'd rather just go burn Lawrence.

Absolutely not.

I was all for keeping the rivalry going till Burrito Bill shot off his mouth and refused to play us. Now I say F them and their fans. They cried like little bitches now they have to deal with it.
I could not agree more with those who say MU/Nubbers at Camrohead every year. That stadium would be full since KC has a ton of Sker fans and Omaha and Lincoln are just a couple hours away. If that were done earlier in the year while NU's hopes are still alive that could make for an epic atmosphere.
Just my 2 or 3 cents

I would have said yes a year ago, but the more i here from Bill Self, I'm moving toward no. 
Posted on 12/12/13 at 4:41 pm to KCM0Tiger
Yes. I want to see us play those bastards every year. It had devolved into pure hate. Perfect hate. Delicious hate. Passed on from one generation to the next - HATE! What could be more fun?

Yes, have a Border War Weekend in KC where Friday night you have a basketball game in the Sprint followed by the Saturday football game in Arrowhead.

Time to cut bait!

Don't care for the football games. I'd rather Mizzou play Illinois in Football. But LOVE the KU vs Mizzou basketball games. Can remember watching those games on ESPN's "Big Monday" or whatever it was called. I can remember the SEC ESPN bball games use to be called "Super Tuesday".

Seems like most of us feel the same way. At first I was hoping the rivalry would continue, but who would have thought I'd now be thanking Coach Self for ordering the KU administration to desist from scheduling the Tigers. Otherwise, we'd still be stuck in that mess - and who doesn't appreciate how nice it has been to have the break! It would be great to see more Mizzou events in the KC area though - but would rather they not involve the other KU.

Absolutely not. Unless we can restart the rivalry by burning Lawrence down again. There are plenty of other cupcakes we can schedule as an automatic W every year.
Would like to see the NU/MU came at Camarohead become a reality though. That would be awesome on so many levels, especially to remind k-who that we escaped and they are forever trapped.
