Because the cry babies won't play us. The most important thing in the world to them is to not play Mizzou anymore.


That's incredibly stupid on their part. Longstanding rivalries like your rivalry with Kansas make things fun and add so much more weight and meaning to playing a regular season college game. All stopping it does is rob fans of both teams. Is their AD's hissy fit all over y'all leaving?

It'll all work Itself out. Texas claims they're full until something like 2025. I'm sure Kansas is spewing the same nonsense right now.

The crazy thing is their only hurting themselves. A&M/mizzou is scheduling SEC powers and killing attendance/media viewer #'s. Meanwhile Texas/Kansas are playing Iowa state.

Yes. Sheahon Zenger, their AD, and Bill Self were beyond butthurt when we said adios. Their collective tighty whities are still knotted up. At this point, though, lots of Mizzou fans simply don't care to play them anymore - we are enjoying greener pastures and new opponents.

And that rivalry was ugly. There was nothing good-natured about it. The only reason we hadn't had a Harvey Updike-esque incident is that we already burned Lawrence to the ground 150 years ago. That's tough to top - sort of a "drops mike and walks away" moment.
