Bitb really let lon have it. Stan kept going on and on about how lon and Henson were such great kstaters and bitb asked him why lon ever left, and Stan was completely silenced. then blamed the whole "you can't recruit to Manhattan" talking point on lon. Then called for the crowd at the game to literally hiss at lon. Classic bitb.

BITB really owned the hell out of that talking point. Dominated Dave Armstrong's face as well.

Hate listening to them online. Danny rough ridin' lowers his voice in the middle of most his statements. Makes it hard to manage volume so that when Keeevan talks, is isn't so loud.

KU/MU - Really a Rivalry?
Jan 31, 2012 -- 9:54am

By Kevin Kietzman

Kansas at Missouri this Saturday will be fun, a great appetizer before the Super Bowl. But let's not kid ourselves, these games are never as big or as important as Kansas City media likes to make them out to be.

These two basketball games always happen after football season and before the Royals play. What else are we supposed to do? Ok, let me share with you how this works. It's your obligation as a member of the Kansas City sports media to talk about how great this "rivalry" is and how interesting and compelling the matchup is going to be. Both are false.

If the rivalry really meant something special, which it doesn't, these schools wouldn't be breaking up. Period. Forget the money and the arguments about security. Forget petty comments that we "don't have an appetite" to play the other school. No, if this was a real rivalry, one born out of decades of football greatness, this wouldn't be happening. But it's a basketball rivalry. Sort of.

You see, there's a problem with calling it a basketball rivalry too, because Kansas doesn't have any rivals this side of Tobacco Road. KU has been punking Mizzou and K-State and anyone else that wants to compete with them in hoops for 25 years now. Before that, there were times other programs could actually claim, at least for periods of time, that they were better than KU. But nobody remembers those days. Calling this a rivalry is like saying the Royals and Yankees are rivals because there was an 8-year period, nearly 40 years ago, that the teams were actually rivals. I know, I'm not making any friends with these comments, but if you just step back and try to be a little objective, you'll see it's true.

I asked a dear friend that loves KU more than anything why he hates Mizzou and he said, "because it's Mizzou." There's no real reason. There's no, "well, remember those four straight years Mizzou won the league and won 4 in a row at Allen Fieldhouse? Those were the four years I was in school and it was awful."

Don't send me e-mails about the Civil War era. There were good people and really, really bad people on both sides of the state line. Things that happened were unspeakable and it was mostly between awful men that did not fight with honor or dignity. To even bring any of it up is really stupid and shows a lack of understanding of the difficult struggle and history of this great country. To compare it to anything sports related is borderline insane.

Heck, this rivalry can't even keep it's name. Border war, border battle, border showdown. How about this one: Border finale. Sure, it's silly and stupid that KU and MU aren't going to keep playing. But really smart people in really high places made this decision for all of us and they're clearly telling us that a lopsided college basketball rivalry isn't worth keeping.

Mizzou students are singing songs about Kentucky as their new rival, which is laughable.

KU fans are saying they're better off without Mizzou around. Also laughable.

Enjoy this game Saturday as it finally means something. But history will show, regardless of the outcome of these two regular season games, this was no rivalry at all. Something not worth fighting, or negotiating for. Just a lot of hype in one very small area of the country. Kansas City.

Manipulating his BITB ass off trying to motivate both sides into continuing the game.

Manipulating motivation via shame, insult, ego, etc...

Really hope this works out for him.

Yep, but with motivation behind it.

He was saying the other day that the KU viewership numbers are always high because KSU and MU fans watch KU ball as well as their own teams, where the KSU and MU numbers are lower in part because KU fans don't watch KSU or MU. He went on to say that KU's numbers are going to go down as well as some MU numbers when MU leaves. He wasn't predicting doom and gloom, but was predicting a downward slide in what is his biz. Lower numbers effect him regardless of the reason why. He, and all other KC media, need the boarder series to continue for financial reasons, so he is trying to make everyone look stupid so they will forget their butthurt and play the damn game.

BITB is stealing my heart.

Expanding on what I've been saying for years about the football game between the 2 schools? If the ku vs mu "rivalry" was so awesome, why were mu's visits to Lawrence and ku to Columbia hardly ever sold out? Why did it take the 2 teams actually playing for something to sell out Arrowhead . . . once? Most of the time when ku plays mu in football the game is attended by thousands of empty seats . . . but, it's a "HUGE RIVARLY".

Where else in college sports can one find decades worth of football games in a "HUGE RIVALRY" that never even register on the all time records crowd list for either school? Oh yeah, the excuse always was that when the two "huge rivals" played, they weren't that good, so nobody cared about those games. So in essence, it's really only a "Huge Rivalry" when both teams are really good. Only mediocre, only kind of good?? Not a "Huge Rivalry", just kind of a "rivalry". Both teams are bad . . . nobody cares at all.

The hatred of mu by ku fans runs so deep, and ku fans are so mad about mu leaving for the Big 12 . . . tens of thousands of ku fans showed up at Arrowhead this last year as empty gold and red seats.

BITB is spot on, the "huge" ku vs mu rivalry was conjured by the KC media.

MU fan who considers himself ITK told me BITB took vacation late last week because he was melting down about the reaction to his blog and trashing the "rivalry"

I lol'd in his face. Told him no one GAF about mu v. ku. Also told him EMAW is 4-0 against the loser schools we are running out.

He's using the ol Jenn Bates defense. If he is being sincere, which he isn't, he's outing himself of not ever being around Asians. I know a lady who works in a hotel near the P&L who would talk to Kietz about the word chink.
