Missouri and Kansas have been playing football for 120 years. It is the second oldest rivalry in the US and the oldest west of the Mississippi. That will change for good next year when Missouri moves onto the Southeast Conference (SEC). Kansas' Athletic Department is not taking it well that their old arch-rivals are leaving them behind. Missouri is leaving the Big 12 because of the instability brought about by the University of Texas' greed in creating it's own Longhorn TV Network.
So with Missouri winning the game yesterday 24-10, the Tigers have won the all time series 61 games to 59 games. I find this amusing in that the day Mizzou said it was leaving the Big 12, KU claimed it was the "winner". What? The Chickenhawks 2-10 team is a winner? In what Universe?
The Jayhawks aren't happy so they say they won't schedule the Tigers as a non-conference opponent. They may be unhappy about the loss of Mizzou from the Big 12 conference, but my guess is, they don't want to risk another loss by playing Missouri and then having to play a full conference schedule on top of it. So for now Jayhawkers, Missouri is the "winner" and you've been exposed for what you are: losers.
