Its not sad at all, imo. Historic rivalry, neutral site, #2 team in the nation vs #4 team in the nation. That was an epic night.

Yeah, that was my point too when we were first talking about it. The game has no historical significance.

They should have given out that trophy full or oranges to the winner of the Border War...but alas, they decided that trophy was for a bigger and better game.

I still contend there is nothing sad about it for an MU fan. If you want to say that being an MU fan is what is sad then there is something to be said for that. But MU fans had to feel on top of the world after that game. And indeed, for a week, they were.

I had attended the NFC Championship Game earlier that year. And for me, Missouri beating Kansas blew that experience away. |

You're reeruned. I understand that your team didn't allow you to fully enjoy that night but to even compare any KC sporting event of the past 20 years to it is asinine. When two bitter rivals match up knowing that the winner walks away the number one team in the nation that is a very important game. I understand if you weren't there because it fell in the middle of basketball season but for those of us who were there I don't think anyone would deny it was the most exciting night for both of these programs. I'd be much happier watching the Chiefs win the AFC Championship against Denver than I would be watching the Chiefs win the Super Bowl against some NFC team I don't give two shits about.

Hey, we're going to the Super Bowl! "So what, who did we beat to get there?" ![]() I'd lose to MU every day of the week and twice on Sunday if it meant a BCS bowl. |

Which is what's so funny about KU fans. Lew Perkins has made you believe this is possible. "Who cares that we didn't beat anyone of significance, we can just buy a cool trophy and our fans can have something to look at."

And that's the view from the sour grapevine. Wow, college sports are corrupt. That's earth shattering news.

Next thing you know, baseball players will be using steroids and NBA refs will be making bets on games they're officiating.
