I'm not sure about anyone else but I don't really hate Mizzou anymore. They are doing their own thing over there. We aren't peers in either football or basketball.
The games against each other (and living in KC to hear the shit talk) might reignite that but who knows. [Reply]

I'm with you. Once they vanished, aside from the friendly digs at the MU fans here who show up to show how much they miss us, I don't think about them. [Reply]
I think the thing that will likely have killed the rivalry are college students lack of awareness of the rivalry today.
A couple of students at KU keep up the student organization I started there. MU came up in a conversation over the summer and they may as well have been Boise State to them. Made me realize that freshmen today were 8 the last time KU-MU played a conference game.
Compare that to my freshman year (the last year MU was in the conference) and the anticipation on campus before that game was unlike anything I ever experienced (until my senior year when Kentucky came to town). I just don't think we're going to have that energy from either campus anymore, which, at the end of the day, is what sustains an intense college rivalry like that. [Reply]
