I'm a KU guy who really enjoyed our rivalry with MU, and I was really disappointed when they left the conference -- I guess they needed to do what they needed to do.
I thought Pinkel's support of the football team's position as per the "hunger strike" guy was short-sighted and wrong as it pretty much ended up destroying a large chunk of the MU hierarchy and opened the door for the fine mess that they now have on their hands.
I realize that MU is essentially a bad place (spoken with KU tongue firmly planted in cheek), but goodness, they can't seem to catch a break right now. Here's a reluctant hope that they get things squared away soon. Who knows, maybe someday we can again enjoy those interesting bonds created by a true and fun college rivalry.
