re: The upcoming loss of the OU-Ok State rivalry reminds me of a once-classic SEC rivalry....

Are you high? We moved on from a rivalry with kansas that had real meaning beyond sports.

Last I checked the University of Kansas was not in Missouri... so it doesn't qualify.

However, I will grant you that the KC effectively had some of that in state vibe with KU and MU grads mixed. Probably not like that at all in the rest of the state of Missouri. And also, I don't think the dynamic is maybe quite the same in Kansas City for the school kids.

When you have an in state rival... You can bet that the a-hole vice principle went to the school you don't like. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the teacher you hate the most did. And there is also some obnoxious dipshit kid(s) in your class that root for the other school.


And I have posted on this board that I thought Missouri-Kansas was the most historically significant rivalry in the country and was the most "slept on" rivalry as well. So I am in full agreement there.
