ESPN ran a pretty funny article online Tuesday about different college football programs and why they’re hated by other teams.
MU and the University of Kansas, two schools that might have been overlooked in an article this time last year, have put their programs on the map and were mentioned in the article. ESPN reporter Mark Schlabach summed up the Tigers’ and Jayhawks’ hatred for each other:
“Kansas hates Missouri because the Tigers beat it. Missouri hates the Jayhawks because it really didn’t matter when the BCS invitations were delivered.
Both teams are expected to be good again this year. KU will try and follow up a school-record 12-1 season and a win in the Orange Bowl. Missouri looks to improve upon a 12-2 season in which the Tigers were ranked No. 1 shortly before losing to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship. The border rivals face off Nov. 29 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
