Don't forget their 2 fake titles.

Don't even get me started, the story on their Helms titles is even funnier than it looks. The banner they hang for 1921? Actually Mizzou and ku tied for the conf title that year with identical 15-1 records, each winning on the opponents homefloor by identical 10 point margins. Mizzou finished 16-1 overall, ku finished 16-2. No postseason back then.

So Mizzou challenged ku to a tiebreaker game in Kansas City to determine a true conference champion. ku declined, saying its "athletes needed to focus on their studies."

Then years later they hang a retroactive banner for a mythical national title resulting from that scenario somehow, and talk shite at their arch rival over said title after wussing out on actually playing us.
