No just a lot of peoples panties in a wad.. The sole purpose of the shirt is to show Missourians kicking the shit out of Kansans and nothing more..

They are using historical fact to rile up Kansas fans which seems to be working..

Hell I bet money that a good 4th of Kansas students don't even know about the incident..

The level of political correctness that allows this to be a "big deal" saddens me.

Missourians burnt down Lawrence because your Jayhawks were out raping and killing Missouri women and children.

Agreed completely!

However, it applies 10000x more to the MUCK FIZZOU hoopla. Or [insert any incarnation of that style for any team]

Or make a shirt glorifying an attack by slavery supporters. There was a lot of bad behavior both sides, neither less guilty than the other.

I agree

Its in the past, and no I don't like the shirt

And that makes it all right? Let me guess you're the same kind of guy who doesn't see the bad in guys blowing themselves up on a bus in Israel. They deserved it, right?

Considering how many people go to KU from out of state, I would imagine the number to be consiberably higher. Very few people, outside of history majors or civil war buffs, not from Missouri or Kansas have heard of Bleeding Kansas.

It's not the purpose of the shirt that's stupid. It's fine to show teams beating up another team, but it's entirely different to glorify the violence behind it. It wouldn't have been okay for me to make a shirt with holocaust victims on it just because we happened to be playing Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy that week.

Maybe if the trench-coat wearers originally were from a rival school that did the deed, and then 100 years later somebody wanted to mock it..


Seriously a smart KU fan would just make fun of them back of Missouri being so consistently bad for decades.. or use championship smack..

But to get your panties in a wad and cry is just silly, you are playing right into their hands on pissing you off..

That's no lie. I knew someone from St Louis in the Navy and made a pointed crack about the whole deal with the voting, massacres, the works, and we got in to a bit of a heated discussion. The others around were completely lost.

No I agree the shirt is classless but most people don't know the history behind it.

Don't assume that it's just KU fans who are upset or "have their panties up in a wad and cry".

Just saying.

Lol I actually meant all Kansas schools.. But you are right...

I am certain that you are extremely under qualified to say what any smart person would do, KU fan or not.
