NO,it goes a helluva lot deeper than that

How did you get a picture of frazod's last dental visit?

In the end it's just a game and this is just a thread to cause butthurt. Both are too often taken too seriously.

You didn't even have time before your post to see what that video was really about.

It's about the Kansas vs. Missouri "border war" and since you're the one who posted it I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it's somehow skewed to favor Missouri. I promise I'll watch it later though. I'm actually doing some work... downloading some large files... and posting randomly between each at the moment.

Not seriously enough, if you ask me.

You see, secesh is a disease that must be wiped clean by the hand of God.

I will now burn this town.

Except Missouri has KC, STL, Columbia, the bluffs around Columbia, and the Missouri River. That's basically the same as what Kansas has with you know, Colby "The Oasis of the Plains", Abilene who "Still likes Ike", and Russel "Home of BOTH Senators Bob Dole and Arlen Specter". etc....

"Jayhawker was a term Missourians made up for the marauders that came over from Kansas to loot, raid, and steal their slaves."

I think you meant "set free."

I didn't "mean" shit,I didn't make the video,however,the youtube comments clearly state that the facts were taken from the Missouri AND Kansas historical societies,of course that little tidbit was probably from Missouri.

FYP

Really? You're going to make an arguement based on some physical aspects of two plains states? You didn't even mention the Ozarks either... maybe the best part of the state. Your cherry picking wasn't even complete.

Wow, I've been beaten.

Kansas has Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia, the Flint Hills, the great plains... yay... both states have some cities and some plains and some farm land and some famous people who call it home.

Coastal dwellers are laughing at this whole arguement.

Not sure how you figure that.

Missouri is around 6 million people. 2.5 million live in the MO suburbs of St. Louis. 1 million live in the MO suburbs of Kansas City. 0.5 million live in the Springfield area.

Almost 70 percent of the state lives in a metropolitan area. That just SCREAMS rural.

You're right about Kansas, though. Get outside of Johnson County, and it's about as rural as it gets (save for the monstrous metropolis that is Wichita).

Most of Kansas is rural land... most of Missouri is rural land. Missouri has more people in bigger cities. I guess that's a bragging right for the purposes of this topic.

A lot larger chunk of the states of California, Texas, Florida, New York is metropolitan than any midwestern state... that's what I was saying basically. I doesn't matter. No one thinks of any "fly over" state as being metropolitan.

Well hell if we want to get in a pissing match Mizzou has Arrowhead,Kaufman,Busch,TWA,MCI,Sprint,The Arch.....

Actually I just stayed with stuff on I-70. I purposely overlooked the Ozarks etc... Also with the bolded part, so does Texas, does that make Texas and Kansas basically the same?

Actually people come to Missouri to vacation as well, Kansas they fly over. No one goes to Manhattan, KS unless

A. They go to KSU
B. They are in the Army and are stationed at Ft Riley.

Oh shit how could I forget,Mizzou has 5.0 beer too :D

Beautiful shot. Thanks for posting.

If you're a coyote

I didn't start that particular pissing match. I believe frazod started it in a round about way with his prarie pic then teddada wanted to talk about physical charactoristics between a couple of plains states and somehow I'm to guess that having a larger population, more metropolitan area and higher crime (remember the meth thing) is now a bragging right. More metro makes Missouri "better" I guess... however you want to define better.

Like I said earlier I knew this thread would be fun... or ignored. I was betting on fun though.

nice song. Can't wait to see Justice at Coachella.

I'm not sure if you get out of town much but that same scene exists a few miles away from your house.

This is what I mean by this physcial characteristic arguement being really lame.

Yes though Wickedson, I agree it's a beautiful shot.

OK I'll give ya this one.

:)

Living in the middle of concrete and steel day to day I can't tell you how much I miss walking outside on summer nights and watching sunsets over prairie.

Congrats. Missouri is right up there with Hawaii, Florida and California. Too touristy for me thank you.

:thumb:

LMAO

That same scene all but exists out my kitchen window.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dr. noonanbeermefever again.

I remember from the one time I was there. It's a nice scene... imo.

Well thanks heh.... guess it hasn't come in yet lol.

Missouri is really, really good at something besides meth labs:

http://i40.tinypic.com/o6wl7k.jpg

Never put them up with Hawaii, Florida, or California. BUT....... I am also not lowering them to the level of KS either. Now if I was saying that Missouri was basically the same as one of those states, then I would be wrong and overly "homer-istic".

That and making KU fans who apparently "don't care about us" talk about us.

And since MU fans dont care about basketball they sure enjoy talking about it...

Strange...

This a first place thread,nobody remembers who's second.

I care about you. I mean YOU tredadda.

I know but again I was just being an extremist and contributing to the essense of the thread/arguement. It's what we "sides" do right...

Awwwww, now I feel better and can smile. :thumb:

Agreed, but the thread would die without people taking sides on a discussion and keeping it going. I respect you have pride in your state and are willing to go to extremes to defend it.

Oh get a focking room already

Rooms cost money, message boards are free. :D

KU fans care more about the rivalry when both teams are good... weird.

Which is why Mizzou is currently good and should be good next year in Basketball and most KU fans have no intentions of wanting to maintain the rivalry......weird.

We're both Royals fans so even though you may smell of wet dog when it comes to college sports it's obvious you can't be all bad.

What you said.

I have to be cautious here... I'm agreeing with a smelly MU fan more than once...

AND Chiefs fans. ROFL

All I have is pride.

Well and 3 titles and several final fours and a buttload of conference tropheys....



How was that?




:)

Oh yeah them.... I get all wrapped up in the Royals and Jayhawks and sometimes forget where I am heh.

And ND fan.

Oh for the love of God....

Yeah, there should be a Royals planet or Jayhawks planet board. It's alright, the Chiefs are #3 on your sig pictures. :D

I grew up with them. Grandmother was a big fan and she raised me on ND love.

And in my heart.... but it's not a strike against them.

This thread has made my day.. Now that MU is off to its gated community conference, these days are going to be few and far between.

KU and MU smack will be pointless after saturday...

Some years ago I read a great article about the border wars by an east coast journalist and I paraphrase.He said it was the damndest thing you've ever seen,these people talk trash and even get in fist fights over their colleges on Saturday but come Sunday there they are black eyes,bandaged noses and having a beer together cheering on their beloved Chiefs.

Sad its ending isnt it?

It doesn't have to. Although the schools won't be playing each other (thanks school admins), the fans can still make fun of each other and keep the hatred going strong.

Wierd how sports can bring people together, as well as tear them apart.

I think you guys are all perfectly nice, mostly well adjusted and quality individuals... I've been to Nzoners house and broken personal property and he was nice and forgiving and we broke bread together... but when it comes to college hoops he does indeed smell like wet dog and he finds me to be rather pungant and stale in his olfactory membranes.

Temporarily IMO. I think in time cooler heads will prevail and the teams will schedule each other in Football and Basketball each year in an OOC game.

Actually, do you think about Colorado? Nebraska?

ATM and MethU will fall into the same line of thinking..

That's the important thing right there. Hate never dies it just runs away to a new conference.

The **** you say, quitter.

Fail, anyone that has ever been to Kansas knows that is not a Kansas picture. Those hills are too big to be terraces.

MU/KU

UT/aTm

Those rivalries are far, far different than anything involving NU or CU.

Or striking while the iron's hot and going to greener pastures while the opportunity is available.

Spend a lot of time there, have you?

Anyplace, and I mean anyplace is what you make it to be.

#1 on that list is Vegas.

The sunflowers are beautiful in western Kansas. The wooded Ozarks are beautiful in Missouri.

The bass-ackwards culture of punity flourishes in both. Montgomery County in Missouri tips the scales as the most hypocritical spot on either state's map.

Kansas has Wichita, and Missouri has St. Joseph.

Ya know what's odd? I grew up in Kansas but have never even been to the really flat central or western parts of the state. Grew up in the NE corner where there are actual hills and everything so even though I know the flatlands are there it always seems weird to hear how flat Kansas is... I mean yeah it's kind of flatish where I grew up but it looks just like Missouri and Illinois where I live now.

There is a spot out on 156 near Jetmore that you can see about 11 miles in each direction. Used to do a lot of reading, while driving those roads regularly.

tomato, tomahto

That would be neat to see but even I don't think I'd want to live there either. Where I grew up we have hills and trees and all kinds of thrilling shit lol.

OMG that spot u speak of is my home town Hanston ks, 8 man football power house of the state winning champions. R.I.P coach.

Can you tell us what the Hostess company makes? I went to college with a girl from western Kansas who had never heard of it.

Are you talking about the Hostess cakes? Ding dongs and other pasterys? Not sure otherwhise?

YES! Well done sir! I knew it just had to be her.

:homer: mmm hostess cupcake ftw

The other thing that surprised me about this girl, other than her never having heard of Hostess cupcakes, ding dongs, twinkies, ho ho's etc..... is that she's of African-American decent... I didn't know there were any black people in western Kansas.

There are a few, the college dorms in Garden City and Dodge City have quite a few but mostly those two citys are full of mexicans & border jumpers.

It is kind of cool, in fact, very cool, but I wouldn't want to live there either. You really get spoiled driving out there, knowing what you are approaching for quite a distance.


If they have three trees on the same acre, it is called a park. I kid, I kid, but the trees are all leaning North.

You learn something new every day. Her name was Kelly Green but she was (and likely still is) black.

There's a spot on Hwy 35 between Hiawatha KS and St. Joe MO where you come to the top of a hill before heading downhill and back up and from the top of one hill to the point you can see at the top of the next is 3.5 miles. I reset my trip meter once because I always wondered. I think that's the longest I've seen in Kansas.
