KState v. MU annual game in KC

[steve dave]

I don't like Mizzou at all and I rough ridin' hate the fact that they left the conference but I have no problem with us playing them in basketball in KC.  eff, play em in football, too for all I care.   I would rather have WVU as our OOC rival but I guess Mizzou wil do, especially now that we all actually hate them as compared to the general malaise I felt previously.

I don't even hate Mizzou.  We landed on our feet and are in a good place right now.  It's just a fantastic geographical and historical rivalry that would be easy to arrange and convenient for both fanbases.

mizzou has passed us in both sports.  that's the reality.  so why not take advantage of that and get some pub for playing them in an annual series?  stop getting your panties in a wad and taking their conference move so personally.

We swept them bruh.

The sad thing is that Frank Martin wouldn't even consider this.  The guy understood his fanbase and understood what it meant to be loyal to the Big 12. 

I don't know why that's sad.

Because with Frank, KU and K-State were on the same page when it came to realignment and the future of the Big 12.  Now you guys are stuck with a guy who doesn't know anything about K-State's fanbase or K-State's history, and just wants to give the middle finger to KU and Bill Self because he's a butthurt loser who failed at Illinois.  Mizzou almost single-handedly destroyed the Big 12 and the whole KC area college sports scene as we know it, and now you clowns are trying to reward them for it. 

Just goes to show that all that TSC stuff was a big lie.

Well, ya. I can't believe you bought it.

[WavetheWheat]

Remember when Mizzou and KSU were "sister schools?"

Good to know you're in the lowest common denominator element of K-State's fanbase.  Loser.

[steve dave]

I don't hate MU and I want to play them every year.  What baffles me is that everyone who hates their guts wants to ignore them.  If you hate them I would think you would want to play them constantly in a hate filled rivalry that ignites both fanbases and the Kansas City community.

ou swept us, bruh.  clearly ou is behind us in hoops, just as we're behind mizzou.

[Saulbadguy]

MU fans are much less disgusting than your average Kansas fan. I don't mind it really.

[steve dave]

dax, I know you're mad at them.  But KSU didn't end up in a bad place.  We can still be friends with them in ways that benefit KSU, the fanbase (FUN!) and the KC community.

Must be opposite day.  But then again, you do live in Topeka.

If we play any games in the sprint center we will be supporting the missouri economy, we better stay away from that venue entirely or else our recruiting in roads will dissapear and our conference will despise us.

[tdaver]

I liked how the Alabama game last year was basically a home game, except we could drink booze and then party it up at P&L.  I'd like to do that again.  I would also like to invite my MU friends to a game to watch us beat the hell out of the Tigers.  And then party it up at P&L.  We should do both.  Actually, can we move all high profile non-con home games to Sprint Center?

almost everyone but MU would require that we play a home and home or the equivelant (ie. KC and wherever garbage place in AL that we played).  MU is the only big name that we could play every single year in KC.  Well, I still hold out the tiniest amount of hope that we can get an NU basketball or football game in KC, probably not happening though. 

play a home and home then.  kc would be our home game, a different regional venue could be our opponents.  the thread you were hanging onto at the beginning of this thread snapped a long time ago.

You would rather play in KC one out of every two seasons instead of every season as some sort of salve for your painful red butt over MU leaving?  Because that's what it sounds like.

Counting next year vs Florida, we'll have played 6 noncon games at Sprint in 4 years. None of them were Mizzou. All but one were against quality teams.  There us no reason that can't continue.

Until there's a new TV contract with a GoR that goes out 13-15 years, I ain't gonna buy into "KSU didn't end up in a bad place" yet.

They are the reason we had to sweat it out hard, and aren't completely home free yet.

I see no reason to reward them as they desperately try to throw bones to their generally unhappy KC metro constituency who as I said now find themselves at the far fringes of mu's new conference.

it would be great for KSU though.  don't worry about MU's nice things, worry about what nice things we have and could have.  it would be the premier college basketball event in the KC metro every single year.  it would be a way to continue the series and provide a yearly non-con rivalry game to look forward to.  it would be a money maker (better than florida or bama or other garbage team that we fill most of the lower bowl for) and we wouldn't have to worry about playing in the birmingham civic auditorium or whatever the next season.  it's fine to play bama or whoever at the sprint once in awhile but people forget we also have to make a return visit to their venue.  we don't have to with mu.

Agree with Saul.  Met and work with a lot of MU grads, and i can't think of one that's a mega douche like your average KU fan.  There are a nice group of people.

Southern miss, famu, and iupui were not quality teams.

[catzacker]

we could have nice things w/out that meaning that a local competitor gets to have nice things in the process. 

playing mu @ sprint center = playing wsu @ intrust.

What a rough ridin' terrible comparison. This would benefit us more than any possible ooc game. Who gives a crap if the other team benefits, too.

that is an awful example.  MU is on equal footing with us right now.  WSU is well below us.  we do not compete with WSU for recruits.  Losing to WSU would be humiliating and beating them meaningless.  Beating MU would be great and losing to them would not be a mid major resume loss. 

[steve dave]

that sounds cowardly as crap dax
