(3,269 posts)Mizzou and A&M are good schools, too.
Missouri and Kansas complement each other. Their rivalry was inspired by historic hatred. Their athletic competitions have been like a stand-in for something darker but ultimately constructive. I am reading the fan boards. This thing really seems to be ending bitterly. That's a shame, given the tradition.

Those Jack Boots, Jodhpurs and Sam Browne Belt belong to Rick Perry. Reveille doesn't.

One guy wrote on the Mizzou board:
>>I shall ride through kansas to get there boys. And meet any corrupted Lawrence metro cop or kansas state trooper who stands in my way because I will fight them myself if I have to.
That's right. I will fight them all myself. Unless there be any men among YOU...who would ride with ME.
