Misc MU diplomas vs KU diplomas

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.
