Not going to say it, not going to say it, not going to say it......

Scoreboard?

Born in Ohio. Spent the vast majority of my life in MO.

Graduating from MWSU in May.

I suppose my fandom has everything to do with being laid up in KU Med Center with pneumonia when the Big 12 tourney was going on, and Quin Snyder being a douche of epic proportions.

I had delusions about attending KU at one point, but then I saw how much out of state tuition was.

Good.

STFU

I always heard that Mizzou was the more serious school for things like Law and Medicine, but KU was the funner, easier-going and bigger party school.

That being said, I'd go to KU. But I'm a Mizzou fan by sport, because I've never lived in Kansas. I have no reason to cheer for them.

Mizzou's big on journalism... and sweet sorority parties. :D

That's about all I can comment on.

KU has a number of highly ranked programs, most notably the Public Administration program.

I knew my generalization couldn't be too accurate. To play the role of the lame peacemaker, I don't think any big conference public school (like, say, the BCS conferences) has a BAD school.

If I had my pick of any big 12 school to go to, I'd probably pick UT, with Colorado being second. You'd be lying to yourself if you thought Lawrence or Columbia is as cool of a place as Austin or Boulder. :-) And my least favorites would be OU in Norman or TT in Lubbock. Those places sound incredibly boring, socially.

But KU did make Playboy's party schools (in the top 15 or so), and Mizzou wasn't even mentioned. So as a Mizzou fan, I'd say we have some work to do...lol! :-)

I still can't believe it.

They don't call it Hillside High for nothing... but with my wife as KU faculty, when the time is right I might go back to school and get paper from KU. The way things are going with her research & patents, I'll be working on a PhD in History in a few years.

This

:D

I'm an MU fan but gratuated from SMSU (now Missouri State). I grew up close to COMO that's why I'm a fan.

My uncle has lived in Kansas City his entire life and is a big Jayhawk fan. But he has never attended a game at Allen Field House nor has he ever lived in the state of Kansas. So.. you have a KU fan that has no real reason to be one.

Makes sense to me. He's your typical Jayhawk fan.

;)

KU Fans are generally have a better understanding of the game. I didn't go to either school but have been to many games in Columbia and in Lawrence. I was pretty neutral at first as long as Mizzou was continuing to fail in the Illini games each December. But over time i have developed into a KU fan based more on the quality of the program, consistancy of excellent players and a program that does not have a cloud like MU seems to always have.

Fan behavior at a game is a major contrast. I have never been to a college game anywhere where the fans are as simply obnoxious and ill mannered as they are at MU and the school has encouraged that going back to Norms days there. Its almost like you dont see MU fand develop basketball understanding past the "you suck" phase. That whole antler thing is and always will be a mystery to me.

Ive seen many times KU fans applaud and recognize good play from an opponant on the court. That would never happen in Columbia. Comes down to MU=rude and uninformed behavior vs. KU= true fans of the game.
