*****2023 Border War Hoops and HATE Thread*****

[Chiefspants]

The 2023 Border War installment of our 5 game not a rivalry anymore series swings back to Allen Fieldhouse where already students are camping at numbers that dwarfed our game against UCONN.

KU is still finding itself this year, as usual with early Bill Self teams. Hunter Dickinson fulfills every checkmark of a classically hated Jayhawk. Arrogant, a great flop, questionable athleticism yet can be counted on to pull a double double every night. We would have been runaway title favorites in 2007, but unfortunately, it’s 2023 and today’s game needs outside shooters to go all the way, and we’ve yet to have someone consistently step up to take on that role (this would be a great game for a Furphy coming out party).

Coming to Lawrence for their renewed John Brown invitational is the Mizzou Tigers. I actually don’t know a lot about the Tigers this year. Browsing ESPN it looks like y’all lost to Assberg State but had a helluva comeback agains Minnesota and a dub against Pitt? What’s up with your team this year, Tigers fans? A lot of turnover/young players? Fill us in if you have outside shooters and athletes to swarm Dickinson in the paint and threaten KU’s 3 game winning streak.

Come in, make yourselves at home, and shit talk like it’s 2012 again.

Most mutt fans live out of the sleeper cab in a semi full of piss jugs.

Nic Timberlake is the only member of the roster born at that time- he was 5 months old.

Bill Self was in his second season at Tulsa. #kubball

You're right, this isn't like any rivalry I've ever seen.

That is most likely going to continue.

Sometimes it pays to be a flesh light for the big boys. Nothing better than watching bama win another one in your favorite most comfy sec shirt

I welcome Oklahoma with open arms to the SEC. Fun old Big 8 rivalry. Want nothing to do with Texas and their bullshit!

The silver lining here is that Texas won't be able to pull the same shit in the SEC that they did in the Big 12. The 'old guard' will make sure of that.

Texas isn't in the driver's seat like they were in the Big 12...so now they get to feel what it is like to be "just one of the gang ".

Meanwhile, over 9,000 days (or almost 25 YEARS) since they won in Allen Fieldhouse.

Almost as long as the world has been around!

But how often do they sell them out in under an hour? Or 15 minutes in the case of the first game back at AFH between KU and Mizzou.

That was the point.

Apparently, some people (including many on your side) still REALLY care about the game.

I'm not one of them and it just feels like the real 'hate' between the schools has passed.

I'm not gonna lie. I can get excited for some MU KU basketball. It's really nice being on the MU side, because I can shit talk if MU wins and if KU wins, well it's because they were supposed to.

TBT and Pitt are above it. And they want us all to know that.

It's December college hoops, and this is by far the most interesting game on the schedule for both teams until conference play begins. No shame in showing some emotion.

If you enjoy watching college basketball, regardless of your affiliation, then this is still a game worth watching. I know we're favored and we should beat the piss outta mu. But if you miracled a win outta this then I have a sneaking suspicion some of the "above it" crowd might just turn back up here with some sort of interest in the rivalry moving forward.
