why do UL and UK play every year?

it's a bitter mystery best left unexplained.

why do UL and UK play every year?

all the people in the state that they are both in wanted it?

Mizzou is long gone so I don't really get why we're worried about strengthening them. They're in the SEC and are going to make a good chunk of change. This annual ass kicking they get at the Sprint will do very little other than keep they're alumni pleased. They're alumni weren't gonna switch sides to KSU anyways, so lets play them kick their ass every year, and have a huge nationally televised rivalry game thats the talk of the nation for a few days, and draw 17k.
Make it to where we get like 60% of the revenues.
This will only benefit us and really won't benefit them much at all.

Although I am on the other side of this debate; I really see no way in debating against the above gold.

Hmmm... maybe because they're in-state rivals?

You guys act like anyone nationally outside of the KC/STL area would give two shits about this game...which they wouldn't.

There would be a lot of interest for the first couple of years because of the former conference rivals aspect and all, but I can't see this series holding any kind of long-term national interest.

;lus the vast majority of folks that want to start this up are the same folks convinced we will suck ass in a year or two. Which seems to go against their point that this would be an "ESPN worthy" game

I agree. Short term only to start. Strike while the iron's hot and re evaluate in a few years.

This.  K-State has played Missouri 235 times with a shockingly close 119-116 series mark, and it's been acknowledged by the national media as one of the longer-running rivalries in the country exactly zero times.  Why would that change now?

Man, I kind of thought PoetWarrior was making these up as a joke until I saw this one. I can confirm that both of these are true.
