Well, why would you paint it on the ceiling???lukethedrifter wrote:I get the feeling that snobrock would argue with Michelangelo about painting.
Not a bit, mi amigo. You just need to learn to accept it as true when you learn something that you didn't know, eg that MU and KU are huge rivals and that it matters not if you or anyone else was unaware of that fact.Socnorb11 wrote:A little grouchy tonight, were we?lukethedrifter wrote:I get the feeling that snobrock would argue with Michelangelo about painting.
I was basically saying that I wasn't aware of it, and that it's not as prevalant in the part of Missouri that I live near. That's all.lukethedrifter wrote:Not a bit, mi amigo.

Directly from your link:Socnorb11 wrote:I didn't know that Missouri/Kansas was a rivalry. And I'm still not entirely certain why it is. I live in the Midwest, but I'm a LONG way from Kansas. In my neck of the woods (and I live 5 minutes from Missouri, and work with dozens of Missourians), the Missouri folks are far more concerned about beating Illinois than they are about beating Kansas. I don't know who voted in this poll, but they say that Illinois is a bigger rival for Missouri than Kansas is:

Code: Select all
State's biggest rivalry
Missouri-Kansas
25%
Rams-Chiefs
22%
Cardinals-Royals
16%
Cardinals-Cubs
12%Code: Select all
FUN FACT
The Kansas Jayhawks (21%) barely edged out the Chicago Cubs (20%) and the Oakland Raiders (19%) as the team Missourians most love to hate.If you scroll down on that same page, there is a poll asking "Which other state is Missouri's biggest sports rival"? Illinois won that poll. That was a bad link, as it turns out...... it's all over the place.RC21 wrote:Directly from your link:Socnorb11 wrote:I didn't know that Missouri/Kansas was a rivalry.

And I think the rivalries are more about basketball than football.....at least it was much bigger when the basketball teams played, now it's gained intensity with football as well. JMORC21 wrote:Think of Mizzou's rivalries like this...
MU/KU = Cards/Cubs, steeped in tradition and filled with hatred
MU/Illinois = Cards/Astros, a recent concoction with no hatred
