And to say that MU and KU were anywhere near equal in basketball at any point in history like this article makes it sound is absolutely hysterical.

I take it you're like 12 years old.
From 1980 up until the Big 12 conference started in 1996, which is the era Gabe is referring to in this piece, Missouri had 7 conference championships, Kansas had 6, and Oklahoma had 4. For all practical purposes, those three teams WERE Big 8 basketball.
Many young ku fans have been a bit spoiled by the huge success Self's teams have had in recent years and think that's just how it always has been, but old time ku fans know that's not the case (even if they might not admit it now).
Thanks for reminding me why I hate ku fans.
