Alright, so, I gotta tell y’all about this whole KU vs. MU football thing that I decided to dive into. It’s been a real journey, let me tell you.
It all started when I heard about this rivalry, which some folks call the “Border War.” Sounds intense, right? I got curious and wanted to find out what all the fuss was about. I knew these two teams, Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers, had a history, but I didn’t know how deep it went.
First off, I started digging into the past. Turns out, this rivalry has roots way back in some serious real-life drama between the states of Kansas and Missouri. There were some serious differences of opinion on things like slavery and how to run a government, which made things pretty heated between these two. It’s wild to think that these disagreements from back then still affect the sports rivalry today.
Then, I looked into the games themselves. I found out they had this big game on December 11, 2021. That was the first time they played in a while, and boy, did KU show up! They beat MU 102-65. It was a big deal because they hadn’t played each other in nine years. I watched some old game footage, and the energy was crazy, even through the screen.
- December 9, 2023: This was another date that popped up. Apparently, for the third year in a row, they were gonna face off.
- December 6, 2024: I also heard something about that 35-4 season but I need to find more about it.
- May 2, 2020: They talked about meeting again in 2025-26 and 2031-32. It seems like this isn’t ending soon.
- December 12, 2024: I found some guys talking about the game, but I didn’t really get what they were saying.
I kept going, trying to find the overall record between the two. One source said that Missouri was leading with a 201-137-2 record against Kansas. That’s a lot of games! It made me realize how long this rivalry has been going on.
I also found out that they are planning to bring back the “Border Showdown” in 2025-26 and 2031-32. That’s pretty cool. It means there’s going to be more football to watch, and more chances to see how this rivalry plays out.
So, I dug a bit deeper and came across this thing about a game on December 10, 2021. It was supposed to be a big deal because they hadn’t played in nine years. I was trying to find out who won that one, but my search got a bit sidetracked.
Then, there was another game mentioned on March 22, 2023. It was gonna be on TV, on Big 12 Now on some sports channel, but I didn’t catch that game.
My journey is not over
This whole KU vs. MU thing has been quite the ride. I started knowing nothing, and now I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. There’s so much history, so many games, and so much passion involved. I’m definitely gonna keep digging and see what else I can find out. It’s like a real-life sports drama, and I’m here for it.
