Ben, why are you always having to justify the "rivalry" between ku and mu. The numbers simply don't lie. In football, the game rarely sold out, so it was moved to Arrowhead, this year Arrowhead was graced with 10's of thousands of empty seats, in fact it's only been a true sell out at Arrowhead once. Meanwhile K-State dominates the top 25 record crowds at ku charts and is in the Top 10 at Missouri twice, ku is not.
In basketball, the local KC TV station thought so little of it, they couldn't even manage the uplinks properly.
