Sounds more like college football than college basketball.

I know at least a few fans who take Kansas basketball far too seriously and I've never seen them mention 2020 one way or another, besides comments like "damnit, that could have been our year!"

I bought it because I have championship bottles for the 2015 Royals and 2019 Chiefs and thought it was ****ing hilarious to add it to the collection.

Well, I’m glad you can take this shit lightly and pretentiously sip on your wine. I’m still trying to avenge Josey Wales family so **** all you Bushwhackers.

Mizzou still has a basketball team?

They got to play Norfolk State that year. I didn’t watch, but I assume they won.

Can anyone confirm?

Of all the time I've laughed at how much Missouri fans celebrate Kansas losses, to the point of watching rival games and rooting for their opponent like Missouri is actually winning something....... I really did enjoy watching the 2nd half of that one.

Sadly, I don't have wine bottles commemorating those events, like when they were the 2020 Champs!

It’s just so tough because in 2012 there was just so much material to ignite these threads. Anymore I don’t even know where to start. Folks in here have taken swings but even that trash talk is at least 5 years from its sell by date. The lack of rivalry games/topics/shared conference or even competitiveness in the same sport and our shared Super Bowl Championship really takes a lot of piss out of it.

I just wonder if those MU fans that are trashing college hoops would be that way if their basketball team was doing well. Seems like sour grapes more than anything.

That was probably the luckiest snub any team has ever received looking back at that year in hindsight. I think that Mizzou trashing of McFadden and Arkansas opened some eyes in the SEC. Without that game who knows if they would have thrown us a lifeline. We could have been in the newly formed AAC with all the other leftovers if we never had the chance to prove ourselves to the SEC that year.

Even Gregory Hines couldn't tapdance around that loss like a beaker.

Another thing about the state of the rivalry now is that Kansas is on the verge of becoming a mid-major school.

Not sure what Mizzou has to gain from continuing to play this game long term other than for nostalgia.

Eventually playing kU in any sport will be like playing Missouri State. Nothing to gain and an awful lot to lose.
