Kansas and Missouri Refight Civil War
A big game took place between #2 Kansas Jayhawks (11-0) and #4 Missouri Tigers (10-1) each team trash talking the other because of 150 year old events of the civil war. Some Missouri fans would wear jerseys that had the name “Quantrill” because he was the man who burned Lawrence during the Civil War. Kansas would wear shirts that said “Kansas: Keeping America safe from Missouri since 1854”. I think that this is nonsense and was resolved 150 years ago and we should both set aside our differences and be friends. Even though one Missouri man said “I hate Kansas so much, I would rather have Kansas lose than Missouri win.” What I think may have caused this is that the Kansans named the team Jayhawks because that was the nickname given to Kansans during the Civil War.
