I think 40% of Kansans watch the Jayhawks or Kansas State play football every week
KState fans are passionate but not numerous. ku fans are numerous (because of basketball) but could not care less about football. No way 40% of Kansans watch those two teams play each week.
Missouri folks are a lot MORE passionate than they were in the 80's when I was a kid, but a lot of that is because the games are on TV. When I was a kid I didn't know anybody other than one neighbor who went to Mizzou that was a big Tiger fan. I wore a ku sweatshirt that my Mom got on clearance somewhere to their house one day and I learned real quick that wasn't going to fly
But now you see Mizzou gear all over my hometown where you wouldn't have seen a fraction of that 15, 20 yrs ago. But it'll never come close to states like Alabama because of the Rams/Chiefs/Blues/Cardinals/Royals/SportingKC.

Mizzou sucked for a long time, it takes time to rebuild that.

So what you're saying is Kansas fans are more passionate than Mizzou fans?

My aunt couldn't even find a Mizzou hat for my uncles birthday in the early 90's. It was all KU.

This is a lame excuse. In Florida we have:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Miami Dolphins
Miami Heat
Orlando Magic
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tampa Bay Rays
et cetra
And that doesn't diminish the passion for college sports.
