Hello! You're traveling to the KU-missouri game in columbia! First of all, my condolences. Second, there are a few helpful tips to make your trip a safe one:
First, when traveling: former missouri coach norm stewart famously didn't stop in Kansas so that he wouldn't spend any money in the state. Please don't have any similar reservations. Kansas has been keeping the missouri economy afloat for years via the KC metro area, so your 40 dollars worth of gas is really a drop in the bucket. Secondly, though it might be tempting to hold your breath the entire time, missouri is a big state and besides, you'll get used to the smell.
The sniping between the two schools is legendary. missourians are proud of the time a band of fighters burned Lawrence to the ground. But when you remind them that they did so fighting for the right to own other human beings, that usually gets them to shut up (assuming schools in missouri teach students about the Civil War, and not just the latest and greatest in meth recipes).
For pregame meals, your choices are sparse. You'd be best off bringing some local BBQ, lest you be forced to dine on roast squirrel and grass soup.
Unlike at Kansas, where Allen Fieldhouse employees are classy as can be, they might try some underhanded tricks over there. For example, are you going with a friend? Well you might find yourself being told by the ushers that your tickets are on opposite sides of the arena. Fear not though for even on opposite sides of the arena the place is so quiet that you should still be able to have normal conversations as if you are face to face.
While some missourians have taken to making fun of the large Jayhawk at center court in Allen Fieldhouse, remind them that their nickname is shared by 45 other schools. It is the second most common nickname in the NCAA, but you can't blame them too much as they save their creativity for making terrible rap videos and finding new ways to lose games.
As an enlightened 21st century man, I am torn on the issue of cheerleaders at the game. It just seems a bit sexist and degrading to parade women around in skimpy clothing as some sort of male distraction. To give missouri some credit, they actually agree with me here: instead of cheerleaders, they have water buffalo cheering the team on instead. Something about missouri and importing from Africa, I guess.
After the game (which, if history is any guide, will be a rousing win for the visitors), you will likely be tempted in the parking lot. Fresh off blowing a yearly salary on the only game missouri fans actually show up to, your average missourian will need more money to shop for meth food at the local high school grocery store. To raise this money he'll probably try to entice you with an offer of his cousin and/or goat for the night. But resist this temptation and leave them all for each other.
Speaking of resisting temptation, you may want to try to speed to get back to Kansas as quickly as possible. It's understandable. But please remember to observe all road signs. Though you are used to driving 75 mph in Kansas, please note that the signs marked 70 on the side of I-70 in missouri denote the speed limit, not a monument to the person in the state who has the highest IQ (the actual number there is far lower).
While we empathize and know that no trip to missouri can ever be a pleasant one, taking these steps can ensure you are there for the shortest time possible, thus only forcing you to take two or three showers to get the stench off you when you get home, instead of the many multiples you'd need if you were there for an extended period of time. (Though if you've seen pictures you know that missourians and hygiene aren't great friends.)

Serious questions:
1. Do other bordering schools have the same ongoing “you fought on the wrong side in the Civil War/you’re a bunch of racist slavers” theme?
2. Did the Missouri legislature ever officially apologize for slavery? I know that they considered it perhaps a decade ago, but I don’t know if they ever passed any sort of resolution.
by kansasjohn on Feb 2, 2012 10:24 AM CST reply actions 1 recs
Not sure to either question.
However, I do have another question that would go along with that.
Are there any other schools that had their town raided by another state during the Civil War?
Not sure how many union states bordered confederate states that crossed into those states and went into towns that had colleges and did the things that Quantrill did in Lawrence.
Does anyone know?

. . . and years later have some doofus send a letter to the editor at SI . . .
. . . saying that “Jayhawk” is a terrorist term (the “it wasn’t us, it was them” defense, which never works for the losing side in a war). It was amazing that SI published the piece.

so i'm waaay late to seeing this post
but again, missouri was a union state
hey guys, will you call me bulldog?

and while im posting stuff that nobody will see
since missouri was admitted as a slave state because of a compromise of congress that the people of missouri did not vote on in the first place, the idea of looking down your nose at missourians for some reason 150 years after the fact makes even less sense

It's mind boggling to me that Missourians would make fun of Kansas (or any other state in the union) when they have Branson
I went there with my Grandma a few years ago and just wow. The Missouri Las Vegas without the fun and good food. I was really trying to make a clever joke to my wife but there were just way to many to chose from. The extreme blatent pandering to the christian right (no offense to anyone here, but it is pretty ridiculous in Branson), the 99% old people, the fact I went outside at 10pm and the town was silent, etc.
On another note, Fetch and Grad brought their A game today. Nice work fellas!

I also like to bring up that the “Tigers” in Missouri Tigers actually refers to a group of fighters who were also anti-slavery. However, many Missouri fans don’t actually know that we were fighting for the same cause.

Actually
A lot of Missouri fans know that. They were charged with defending Columbia and if you lived in Columbia or the surrounding area for longer than a week you know that. Thats why the university choose the Tigers as their Mascot and not the Ruffians. They were actually good and weren’t an offensive unit.

But for years, yes, Mizzou only sold out for KU. Actually, a good portion of the Big 12 was like that. Someone on here posted the stats a while back.

Thats not true.
Maybe when we sucked, but any year Mizzou has been competitive, they didn’t have problems filling the seats for any conference game. ku fans travel well, which is probably the reason for teams always selling out against them. But when competitive, Mizzou doesn’t need anyone. If ku fans weren’t allowed to go to the game Saturday, the place would still be ridiculously packed.

You guys didn't even sell out the Texas game two weeks ago
Even this year with a team that’s been highly ranked all year, Mizzou Sports Arena has been filled to 70.1% of capacity. (In comparison, KU’s Memorial Stadium was filled to 84% of capacity for one of the worst teams in BCS history). There have been 3 sellouts this year.
I agree that the KU game would be a sellout even if KU fans couldn’t go, but it is very untrue to say MU doesn’t have problems filling the seats for conference games in years they’ve been competitive. The fans will always show up for the KU game, but other than that, it seems to take optimum conditions to fill the place up. MU had a competitive team last year (and an almost unbeaten home record) and they sold out 2 games aside from the KU game.

I'm sure many fans do know that.
Unfortunately, it’s the ignorant many that hold up signs saying “Quantrill should have finished the job”
Supporting the pro-Confederate isn’t the greatest way to support your school’s anti-slavery mascot.

Yeah, I definitly agree.
But any ku fan criticizing that is being a little bit of a hypocrite. A ku fan made a shirt with John Brown’s famous quote on it. John Brown was a murderer. I know his killings were supposedly in retaliation of the Lawrence Massacre, but that’s no excuse. Hell, the Burning of Lawrence was in retaliation to the Sacking of Osceola. You can accuse some MU of “supporting slavery” with those shirts, but you really should think about what the term Jayhawk means before you do that. they were no better than slavers or murderers. I’m smart enough to understand that association doesn’t always mean everything, you should be too. Just because they make jokes about his raids, doesn’t mean they support murder/slavery. At least I hope not. It just means they have bad taste.

The John Brown shirts were made in response to the scoreboard t-shirts
Ahh the cycles of history. Technically though the Pottawatomie Massacre was in response to the sacking of Lawrence. The Qauntrill raid was 8 years later.
It was a guerrilla war. Both sides did not play nice. However Missouri fought in defense of slavery. You have no high ground.

I’m a Mizzou fan and the article is pretty funny. Beside some blatancies that were left out, like the burning of Osceola. Nobody ever mentions why Quantrill burned Lawrence but a lot of it had to do with the jayhawks burning Osceola. A few exaggerations here and there, like Mizzou only selling out when ku comes to town, but all in all rivalry fun.

that the things we say about one another can be applied to either state. Especially if one is from the outside looking in. Do you think a person from Philly or San Fran looks at people from Missouri and differently than they do people from Kansas? Not really.

Although if any of you guys are going be careful. I have a feeling missouri fans are going to be slightly worked up about this and the only two times I have ever thought I could be in danger at any sporting event were both at missouri, once football where missouri fans were chucking bottles into areas where KU fans were sitting (Yup, inside Ferret Field) and the other at a basketball game where, like an idiot, I went and sat in the MU student section and maybe I was a little loud mouthed about how my Jayhawks were destoying their “team”. (in that case I had an usher come escort me out before I got murdered).
Also, anyone remember which town it is outside of Columbia that basically makes its revenue on the speeding tickets it gets on the highway? They’ll pull you over for 5 over.

I can only tell you what i've seen
I’ve never seen KU fans act that way to anyone and I have been to a lot of KU sporting events. I have seen MU fans act like that on multiple occassions and I have been to a lot of their sporting events as well. There is always the occassional drunk or asshole but I’ve never seen it like that from KU.
About the bottles, yeah, they don’t allow them in and I don’t think they allowed them in back in 97-98 when I was there, doesn’t mean they didn’t have them though. Never seen anyone sneak something into a sporting event and someone who would throw a bottle or something into a group of people would never sneak something in (Both those comments are sarcasm if you didn’t notice). Also, I am pretty sure they were bottles, I was only about 10 rows up from where they were throwing them and a little farther than that from where they were hitting so it could have been something else but I don’t think so.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
Never? Really, never?
I’m as big KU fan as anyone, but you really have the blinders on if you haven’t seen KU fans out of line. Every fan base has idiots including ours. The idiot ratio seems pretty high at Mizzou, but from my experience only slight more than Colorado or KState. It’s easy to ignore a KU fan being a fool or to classify it as in good fun when we’re ‘on their side’.
Ok, did I not say that there is always the occassional drunk or asshole?
Pretty sure I did. Let me double check, yup, there it is, 3rd sentence in. You can tell I said it because there are words that say “There is always the occassional drunk or asshole” I’ve seen the occassional KU fan be an asshole, every team has some fans like that and I am sure KU has fans that we would not be proud of. I’ve never seen it as malicious and as often as at MU though. I’ve been to a lot of Nebraska games and while I’ve seen the occassional rude asshole I’ve never seen them act the same as a lot of MU fans do.
What’s the worst t-shirt/sign you will see from a KU fan at a KU/MU game? A muck fizzou or another joke. I’ve never seen a shirt/sign like “No Mom Tom” which have popped up in columbia. Really, that classless and tasteless? I’ve also never seen KU/NU/OSU/OU fans toss bottles at MU fans, nor have I ever seen a MU fan at Allen Fieldhouse have to be escorted out because they were afraid KU fans were going to hurt him.
I’m not saying all MU fans are classless red-necked a-holes but I think there are a whole lot more of them there than you find at KU. I’ve met quite a few MU fans that are nice people but I’ve never seen anyone in danger of harm at KU where I have seen it on different occassions at MU.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
you also used the word ‘never’ twice. you’re a homer. that’s cool. just don’t pretend you’re not.
I’ve still yet to see a ‘no mom tom’ tshirt and it’s unconfirmed they’ve even ‘popped up’. I’ve seen KSU and Colorado fans throwing stuff (which is why I mentioned them) and nobody is above it. i’ve seen KU fans instigate fights at a level right on par with mizzou or anyone else primarily at the arrowhead games—but i’m sure every one of those fights was an MU fans fault, right? there were a LOT of fights every year it was competitive. your comments are exhibit A on why other fanbases consider us arrogant.
NU fans were great until we had a little success against them and then they were as nasty as anyone. I’m not going to pretend that if mizzou ever competed consistently with us that we don’t have fans that would turn in an instant. i’ve seen fans at Allen Fieldhouse shout down opposing fans for cheering their team on in a loud, granted annoying manner. no reason for it.
you’re blinded by your hate for mizzou. if you see only mizzou fans getting violent/aggressive then you’re ignoring it from others or haven’t been to as many road venues as you seem to claim.
Your arguments are idiotic and apparently you can't read context
I said “I” (as in “me” and not everyone or all) have never observed KU fans do that. I acknowledged that there are idiots in every fan base but I (again this means me and not an absolute about a fanbase) have never observed a KU fan throw anything at an MU fan or begin a physical altercation with a MU fan. You have observed it and I’m not calling you a liar (even though pretty much call me that and other things). I have not observed it, nor have I observed it on as consistant of a basis in any of the local fan bases as I have in the MU fan base. I even said I don’t think all MU fans are that way and that not every KU fan is an angel. Not sure how that makes me a homer (you must have an odd definition of homer) when that is just what I have observed. You have observed differently so congratulations for you. I guess I just hang out with better people than you do (see, not fun to judge others without knowing them, maybe you hang out with perfectly fine people but since you are rude, i will be too).
I agree to an extent about NU fans but for the most part every time I have been up to NU for a football game, about 6-7 times, I have never had more than playful jawing with their fans and even then both sides were mostly laughing and joking around. I have heard of them getting more grumpy when they were down but I never saw that, then again i never (oh this word again, it’s an absolute, wait, no I never went so it’s right but I don’t want you to think that no one else went) went during those years.
As for the no mom tom shirts and posters, I haven’t seen the shirt but I have heard about it. I have seen on message boards on both ESPN and CBS Sports articles where MU fans have refered to TRob as that though. Pretty classless but again you can find rude, idiotic behavior in all fans. Check KC Star articles or on any article nationally and you tend to see more venom and hate from MU fans directed at KU than the other way around. I mean heck, they just made a song all about how much KU sucks and our fans response was just kind of a joke making fun of them.
You say I am blinded by my hate for Mizzou, well you don’t know me but it’s good of you to judge me. As for a little history, I came close to going to MU to follow a girl, (yeah, that would have been a bad decision), while in undergrad we still dated so we spent a lot of time on each campus. I didn’t hesitate to wear KU gear in Columbia and she didn’t hesitate to wear MU gear in Lawrence. There was always a lot of jawing and joking around, we both welcomed that, but it was always a lot more mean spirited and closer to a fight when I was in Columbia than when she was here, maybe that had something to do with me being a guy but who knows. Because of that I also went to a lot of games on both campuses and from what I observed (damn, using my observations again) the MU fans did a lot worse than I ever saw KU fans do. While I agree there are bad KU fans out there, there are at every school, I never saw KU fans throw stuff at a section of MU fans but I have seen MU fans do that. I have never seen KU fans start fights but I have seen MU fans do it.
Damn, I just used the word “never” again. Hmm, maybe you should look at the context I used it, like how I am still describing my own experiences and observations and not talking about absolutes. Those silly words and how they can be used, so confusing.
Let me make it easy for you so, I know explanations and logic are apparently hard for you. I’ll just live up to what you say I am. MU sucks, they are all red-neck and stupid, KU is awesome and their fans are angels. Absolutely no KU fan would ever do that and all MU fans have 1 tooth and like to slap their wives with the hand not holding the beer and are completely jealous of KU fans ability to anunciate the whole word Missouri and not Missoura. (That’s sarcasm if you can’t tell)
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
Dude. Chill.
If anything, writing a [super confrontational] book to justify yourself just makes kcgregory’s point look more valid.
You ignored an MU fan’s personal observation in favor of your own—observations from when you invaded their student section. What do you expect? You then relied on internet rumors (notably, not personal experience) to condemn MU for the no mom tom crap. Whether you realize it or not (and you don’t or you wouldn’t be doing it) you are suffering from some particularly severe selective perception. That’s okay. It doesn’t diminish your intelligence. Nor does it make you a bad person. I do it, too. We all do. It’s part of being a fan. No one insulted your mother. We’re on the same team.
RCJ
But, but, he started it.
Ok, I’m kidding there. I understand what you mean. When I was in their student section I can see how that frustrated them, we also beat them pretty bad that game (it was a great game 102-89, Haley twins sucked), but not sure I have ever been in a situation like that where I thought I was going to get attacked for being a KU fan. I cheered when they yelled and yelled when they cheered but otherwise wasn’t to bad. I don’t know if a MU fan sat in our student section if he would be attacked though. Maybe, depends on how he acted I guess. If he was an ass then maybe, if good natured and joking around probably not.
As for the other, you are right, i relied on rumors for the t-shirts but like I said, I have seen MU fans refer to TRob as no mom tom on boards. As for the severe selective perception, maybe but I’m not one to not notice trouble in an area, I’m just saying I never saw it. Every team has some shitty fans, i’ve just never seen a KU fan throw a bottle at an MU fan or anything equivilant. Kind of like the guy below who mentioned the KU band getting bottles thrown at them, never seen that happen at KU. Maybe it’s happened and I have been blind or maybe its just never happened around me.
As for gregory’s comment, he was an ass, I was an ass as well. I just tried explaining until he called me a homer and was an ass so then I became a smartass. Sarcasm and smartass become my natural default mode to stuff like that. Also, I tend to write a lot.
Sorry, didn’t mean to offend or come off as a raving lunatic. I don’t get mad about that stuff, like I said, I just default to smartass and sarcasm in response to stuff like that.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
Tell that to the KU Band
Pelted with bottles and cans the last time they were stupid enough to travel to Ferret Field for a KU/MU game. They’ll never go back, even if Missouri had stayed in the Big XII.
They go to Mizzou
