Congrats KU.

Now...let's just take of business and make it all ours. :thumb:

[Saul Good]

Good game. Wish we hadn't hacked T-Rob at the end of regulation.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Good game. Wish we hadn't hacked T-Rob at the end of regulation.

I am sure we will play again in a couple of weeks.

[Saul Good]

Hopefully.

[Rasputin]

In for the win.

[ArrowheadHawk]

8 straight is impressive.

[Saul Good]

I am sure we will play again in a couple of weeks.

Hope he's okay by then. I didn't think we should have hit him in the face with a brick, but we did.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU!!!!!

[Pants]

Hats off to MU. They showed up to play. I felt like we were the better team after we played them in Paige but now I'm not so sure. Either way, that was an epic fucking conclusion and I definitely have a new found respect for this MU team.

[Saul Good]

?

It was a bad foul. We're lucky it wasn't called a flagrant. T-Rob got free, and we contested the shot WAY too aggresively.

[O.city]

In that situation, the end of regulation, with MU up three, Dixon should have just let Robinson dunk it or lay in in. You are still up 1 with the ball.

[Saul Good]

Dixon thought he was doing just that. That's the thing I don't get.

[teedubya]

Great way to end the rivalry. Fuck you Mizzou. Have fun at the bottom of the totem pole in irrelevance in the SEC. This one will burn their MUron asses until the end of time. Heh.

[O.city]

He bodied Robinson a little i guess. Just enough to get him off balance.


Again, I guess.

[Bambi]

Everytime I even entertain the thought of questioning Bill Self and his tactics he grabs me by the neck, slaps me across the face, and throws me to the floor.

Boss don't care.

[ReynardMuldrake]

Respect to Mizzou. You guys played a hell of a game today.

[007]

I am sure we will play again in a couple of weeks.

Screw that. I want an all Kansas final myself.

[KCSupersized]

Congrats Jayhawks, 8 straight is impressive.

[Lzen]

It was a bad foul. We're lucky it wasn't called a flagrant. T-Rob got free, and we contested the shot WAY too aggresively.

I would say Saul, you are better than this. But then again, I know you're not.

:deevee:

See the game thread for my thoughts on the officiating if you like. Otherwise, I will simply say this: Cry my a fucking river, MU fans! Payback is a bitch.

[Lzen]

Hats off to MU. They showed up to play. I felt like we were the better team after we played them in Paige but now I'm not so sure. Either way, that was an epic ****ing conclusion and I definitely have a new found respect for this MU team.

I hate to admit it, but MU is a pretty damn good team this year. And they came out and took it to us for awhile in this game. Great game and the right team won. :)

[Captain Obvious]

Cry my a ****ing river, MU fans! Payback is a bitch.

That's just dangerous to say!!! The flood waters still haven't receded from the last game.

[KC_Connection]

It was a bad foul. We're lucky it wasn't called a flagrant. T-Rob got free, and we contested the shot WAY too aggresively.
What did I say after the last game?

[Bowser]

Great, great game. Props to the pissant Beakers to charge back like that. Mizzou had it, and let it get away. That one will sting for awhile.

[Demonpenz]

God Bill Self you used to be hot, now you look prego like jessica simpson

[Bearcat]

Screw that. I want an all Kansas final myself.

I know it's dumb to say another KU/KSU game would be exactly like the last one, but you would really rather watch something like that over another KU/MU game? :spock:

[ImAWalkingCorpse]

Congrats KU, Haith and Dixon giftwrapped this one for you.

[Buehler445]

Props to MU. They shot freaking lights out in the first and part of the second. LIGHTS OUT.

Then they went really cold.

Good game. 2 conference games decided by 2 points. Great season.

[CoMoChief]

English was a butt-hurt little bitch during the postgame press conference.....loved it.

[Dr. Gigglepants]

Dixon thought he was doing just that. That's the thing I don't get.

I think they only replayed it once, I agree though, it looked like Trob caught a little of Dixon's leg and went flying making it look worse than it was. I think Dixon was shocked at the whistle because he thought he just gave up the basket. Not saying it wasn't a foul, but Dixon did let him have it.

[DrunkBassGuitar]

I really hope these 2 games will be enough evidence to convince the powers that be that KU/MU games still need to happen every year.

[Old Dog]

It was a hell of a game, that's for certain.
I'm a K-State fan, but ended up going to the game yesterday with my neighbor who has been a KU season ticket holder for over 20 years because his wife was sick (bad for her, good for me).
I STILL haven't watched the replay, but there didn't seem to be nearly as much home cooking as I figured there may be (not saying there was none and I did notice at one point in the second half there were 5 fouls on Mizzou and none on KU and I believe KU was in the double bonus before MU was in the 1+1). I did see the T-Rob block at the end of regulation on Sportscenter and while there COULD have been a foul called (and by the rule book should have been) that won't be called 99% of the time in that situation.

If it weren't for having to pull against my Cats, I would certainly love to be witness to round #3 at the Sprint Center.

Congrats to both Jayhawk and Mizzou fans for their seasons thus far.

[Braincase]

As long as Sheahon Zenger is AD, it won't happen. He told MU's AD & President that if they leave, the series is over. He wasn't bluffing.

It was a great atmosphere, no doubt. That wasnt not my first game at AFH (grew up a Jayhawk fan) but it was definely the loudest. I would almost equate the noise to Arrowhead in the 90s.

The seats were great as well. Six rows up, midcourt. I've been closer, but shooting freethrows in a (mostly empty) building wasn't quite the same.

I have to leave for a while so I don't have time to look it up right now, but someone posted somewhere... game thread I think... that the decibel level hit well over 120 on TRobs blocked shot which was the highest ever recorded at a cbb game.

[Bambi]

Won't matter.

Without being in the same conference the rivalry won't matter to most of us at all.

KU has no real reason to do a home-and-home series anymore. I could see them playing some neutral games in a few years, but that won't be the same.

Just play at Sprint in December.


Give each university an equal number of tickets and sell the rest to the gen public.

Judging from Self's comments, it's not happening until there's a new AD that's willing to tell Self to do it, or there's a new coach at KU.

Kansas and Missouri shouldn’t let rivalry end out of spite

Good read here on Yahoo (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger-college-basketball-blog/kansas-missouri-shouldn-t-let-rivalry-end-spite-005727633.html;_ylt=Arr2OAiNHNM.CdDadSdQ0BvevbYF)

When Saturday afternoon's instant classic between Kansas and Missouri finally ended after 2 1/2 riveting hours, the emotions of perhaps the final Border War game were inescapable wherever you looked in Phog Allen Fieldhouse.

Thomas Robinson popped his jersey in elation. Bill Self raised his arms in triumph. And Michael Dixon buried his head in his jersey in disgust.

Scenes like that make it easy to label Kansas' thrilling 87-86 victory over Missouri a fitting sendoff for one of college basketball's best rivalries, but if that truly becomes the legacy of Saturday's game, then that's a disgrace.

What perhaps the most enthralling game of college basketball's regular season should be is a reminder why the Jayhawks and Tigers need to put their petty conference realignment quarrels aside and not allow this rivalry to end because of spite.

There are certainly valid reasons why the Border War is in jeopardy after more than a century's worth of heated matchups.

Kansas supporters blame Missouri because the Tigers are the ones leaving the Big 12 for the money and stability of the SEC in the fall. Missouri backers say it's Kansas' fault since the jilted Jayhawks have stubbornly refused to accept the Tigers' offer to continue the rivalry as non-league foes.

But while Missouri may thrive in the SEC without the Jayhawks and Kansas may continue to be a perennial national power without the Tigers, both programs are better off when they're playing each other. How many other rivalries in the country could generate as many history-making moments in one game as Saturday's matchup did?

There was Robinson's game-saving blocked shot in the final seconds of regulation to force overtime and ensure that a 19-point Kansas comeback didn't go to waste. There were Marcus Denmon's stone-cold jump shots in overtime to will Missouri back in front after it appeared the Jayhawks had seized control. And there was the disputed foul on Tyshawn Taylor's final drive to the rim that enabled the Kansas senior to sink the game-tying and game-winning free throws with eight seconds left in overtime.

Missouri won't experience heartbreak like this in the SEC against Auburn or Ole Miss. And Kansas won't experience jubilation like this against West Virginia or TCU.

College basketball will go on without the Kansas-Missouri rivalry, of course, but don't let anyone tell you the matchup won't be missed. Besides Duke-North Carolina and Kentucky-Louisville, no other rivalries in the nation possess the combination of history, hatred and modern-day national relevance that the series between the Jayhawks and Tigers does.

What other rivalry would inspire one side to print t-shirts championing a Civil War raid as "scoreboard?" Or cause the other side to declare victory by forfeit in the series because its rival announced it was leaving the conference?

Hopefully someday soon, Kansas swallows its pride, does the right thing and agrees to an annual non-conference game with Missouri. They can play it in Kansas City. Or on campus in alternating years. Heck, play it anywhere.

Just don't let the rivalry end out of spite.

There's nothing in it for KU. They would be doing MU a favor to play a NS game every year. I know MU fans don't see it that way, but it's true.

[Trevo_410]

In other words, they're pussing out of the rivalry.

[ImAWalkingCorpse]

There's nothing in it for KU. They would be doing MU a favor to play a NS game every year. I know MU fans don't see it that way, but it's true.

Nahhh of course you and the rest of your yellow beaked friends are going to see it that way. MU has never needed KU. It's a win/win for both schools. KU chose not to play MU.

[Messier]

MU is ending the rivalry.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

That's what they were saying on ESPN. MU doesn't have an identity without KU and being new to the SEC, so it would be best for MU if KU played them once a year.

[ImAWalkingCorpse]

Sorry. It's true. As a fan I want the game, but Self doesn't want to do MU any favors, and that's what it would be, a favor to MU to play them every year.

Actually it isn't. Only in the diluted mind of Self and the cry baby AD and of course they have all of you believing it.

[ThatRaceCardGuy]

Great game. Hats off to the MU players, for a well played game. Its a shame someone had to lose it , but I`m glad it wasn't KU.

[Brock]

Actually it isn't. Only in the diluted mind of Self and the cry baby AD and of course they have all of you believing it.

You're kind of like that old girlfriend that wants to kind of stay around, exchange texts once in a while, etc, but we've moved on. Get over it.

Seriously, good bye.

[KC_Connection]

The rivalry isn't ending out of spite. It's ending because of money (Mizzou leaving for the SEC was primarily for that reason). I don't blame either program here for their positions.

[ImAWalkingCorpse]

You're kind of like that old girlfriend that wants to kind of stay around, exchange texts once in a while, etc, but we've moved on. Get over it.

Actually MU is the one who has moved on. You will still be the one in the domestic violence filled relationship with Texas and Oklahoma. Once they pull the plug on the relationship you are moving into your moms basement, we moved into a much better house in a much better neighborhood.

This.

MU wont admit it, but they need the rivalry to continue, more than KU does. Sure, the fan base will be excited next year because its a new league, but after that wears off, what do you have ? Arkansas as a rival ? You have no real regional rival for the MU fan base to get up for. As much as you don't want to admit it MU fan, rivalries are a HUGE part of college sports. Kansas owes nothing to MU . MU made the choice to leave, and part of making that choice means you don't get to continue the rivalry. The only fan base you hear begging for the rivalry to continue is MU , because they know they need it , especially because they wont have a rival once they move to the SEC. KU gains nothing out of playing MU. MU needs this to continue for their fan base , especially here in KC.

[ThatRaceCardGuy]

The rivalry isn't ending out of spite. It's ending because of money (Mizzou leaving for the SEC was primarily for that reason). I don't blame either program here for their positions.

So much truth here... although of course people on the MU side just want to cling to the idea that KU is pussing out. If the roles were reversed they'd take the same stance as KU fans.

On that note though I'd love to see the rivalry continue as a fan but I certainly understand why it isn't going to... at least in the short term. It's easy for one side to call the other names when they only have their passion to base their comments on.

Any MU fans that really believe we don't want to play them because we're "pussing out" should really get a grip. We beat MU most of the time. We're the ones with 8 conference titles in a row. We're the ones quite frankly that have been the class of the league for years and years with the occasional uprising from another school. Not feeling the need to continue to play someone you've historically had so much success against is hardly pussing out. It's a logical decision that started with MU's decision to leave... not ours... MU's.

I know MU wants to have their cake and eat it too but too bad. Your school wants more money and greener pastures? Great. Go enjoy being an also-ran in a better conference. Can't play the one school anymore that really electrifys your fanbase like no other anymore? Deal with it. We didn't kick you out, you left.

Bye-bye.

[Trevo_410]

That's what they were saying on ESPN. MU doesn't have an identity without KU and being new to the SEC, so it would be best for MU if KU played them once a year.

to say mizzou doesn't have an identity without ku is completely absurd. There is no way in hell we want to play ku annually to keep our "identity" of being in this shitty conference. The reason this needs to be continued is because one thing, the fans. If you don't accept, I hope we just move on and forget you. We're all excited to play in this conference.

If possible don't only think of how this will affect Mizzou, but also, how it will effect ku's program down the road. Will it be the same? Try to view the jayhawks in 5-10 years. Try imagining Kansas City in 5-10 years.

TBH I'm highly optimistic about how Mizzou's football and basketball "brand new identity" will develope in the SEC; including rivalry's and exposure.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

In other words, they're pussing out of the rivalry.

It's truly staggering how dumb you are. I get the feeling you're the MU fan that MU fans are ashamed of.

[Reerun_KC]

It's truly staggering how dumb you are. I get the feeling you're the MU fan that MU fans are ashamed of.

Why are they so desperately hanging on to KU? Who cares now. You left. Now no means no. Stop asking.

I bet you're right. KU's place as one of the winningest, most successful, most storied teams in the history of college basketball is probably going to go down the drain now because a team with no titles is changing conferences.

You've convinced us. We need MU. Please stay.

It's flattering.

Although I must say I by no means think all or even most MU fans are as butthurt as Trevo and a few select others. There are plenty of MU fans around here that I have nothing but respect for.

[Bambi]

Crazy to me that MU wanted to throw away the great midwest tradition we saw played out on Saturday.

100 year decision. That's a lot of damn years.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Did I say they're going to go down the drain? no.

You alluded to KU not being the same without MU down the road. I took your idea and ran. It's called bulletin board banter.

[Reerun_KC]

What would you call it?

Two universities going in opposite directions. Your future is the SEC. KU is the big 12. Scheduling this game s does absolutely nothing for the future of each school. So how is that pussing out is beyond me. Bit if he helps you sleep better than carry on.

[Trevo_410]

You illuded to KU not being the same without MU down the road. I took your idea and ran. It's called bulletin board banter.

Well, should I have put something like "#recpectfulpost" or something near it because there was no pun intended as you see it.

[Al Czervik]

The only reason MU wants the games to continue is to perform damage control with their fanbase. The knew damn good and well that when they selected money over tradition, that many of their fans in KC would be pissed about walking away from the rivalry. So you hear bullshit like that...afraid, pussing out, walking away......from the the MU fans. Its pure comedy when you consider that they forced the situation and consequences.

And I agree...there are many great MU fans on this board.

Missouri is definitely guilty of being proactive and removing themselves from a bad situation, to be sure.

And be honest. If the SEC came to court Kansas to their conference, KU would have jumped all over it, given the current situation with the Big Bevo. Don't lie, you know it's true.

[crazycoffey]

I'm pretty mad I missed this game, highlights and talk probably don't do it justice. On the basketball court I've always cheered for both teams, unless they were playing each other where Mizzou gets the nod.

I usually just stay clear of the "who's better" threads on CP.

I hate the rivalry is splitting, I'm happy for KU in this moment. It's sort of a validation trophy with MU leaving. But this year I think MU is the better team, and would guess they will go further in the national hunt. To any event, props to KU for coming from behind and winning in OT.

[baitism]

Great way to end the rivalry. **** you Mizzou. Have fun at the bottom of the totem pole in irrelevance in the SEC. This one will burn their MUron asses until the end of time. Heh.

Really? I am already over it. I never really cared about the conference title. I want this team to get the FF monkey off their backs.

[Imon Yourside]

Missouri is definitely guilty of being proactive and removing themselves from a bad situation, to be sure.

And be honest. If the SEC came to court Kansas to their conference, KU would have jumped all over it, given the current situation with the Big Bevo. Don't lie, you know it's true.

Nah KU just doesn't fit in the SEC, although i would have enjoyed playing Kensucky twice a year.

Eh, a little... I've enjoyed SEC football for years, so I'm jealous that you guys will be a part of that. Look at South Carolina and Arkansas, and what they've done since joining the SEC. OTOH, I wish Kansas football could compete against anyone, much less the SEC. As far as basketball, playing Kentucky every year would be fun, but that's about it... and of course KU played them this year anyway.

Overall, the Big 12 is the best place for Kansas though... and if the Big 12 Tournament somehow stays in KC after the current contract expires, and the conference doesn't crumble, I won't lose any sleep over it. I think Nebraska is a good fit for the B1G, Missouri and A&M could be a good fit for the SEC, and Colorado is just as irrelevant as ever... and as long as Kansas doesn't end up playing in the MVC, I think they'll be fine.

The SEC is awesome. I can see why they'd want to move there, not just for money purposes, it's a better conference, IMO. I would've liked for KU to move to the ACC. All this doesn't matter though, IMO, sooner or later there will be like four power conferences anyway. Hopefully no more BCS as it is crap IMO.

Not so much on the Chiefs. We never won a title in the 90s. I'm good with 5. The one in 08 really helped me not go in sports crazy mode. The suckitude that was the Herm Chiefs really sucked and the title in 08 helped balance out my sports teams. Now I'm good for another so many years even if we don't win a title for awhile. I really want to see the Chiefs win it all. That's my favorite sport and favorite team.

The NFL is all about the playoffs for me, especially in the past few years. OTOH, I enjoy the CBB regular season and conference tournaments just as much as March Madness... Kansas has already played several highly entertaining games this season, and being the type who generally wants to see the best teams play each other in the end, the big tournament to me is simply when the crazy starts. Plus, they're just college kids, so I'm not one to say they should win so many NCs every decade or whatever.
