Neither has had a GREAT football team in years, and resorting to calling each other knuckle draggers and inbreeders is assinine. I have seen great things come out of both universities, and enjoy the success of both as it brings attention to the area. Last year I was VERY impressed with MU wrestling...now both programs are in the national spotlight for football....Kudos to both. Resorting to dredging up the darkest hour of both states is sad.
Now it has been said several times the "Jayhawk" is offensive, but it was also pointed out that that name had been used BEFORE the civil war, thereby negating the mascot anger. If we want to be that inane, lets say the MU mascot is bad because of the Siegfried and Roy attack. Tigers kill people, how, oh how can MU use such a violent mascot?  Get real.
With that said, how can a person with several degrees be so dumb as to type this?
