And then the teams didn't play again for 9 years. Time gets away from us all.

OK, well, how about simplifying.
I've been to ( two ) games v Kentucky.
I've been to ( ten?+ ) games v Mizzou.

The peak intensity of a game v Mizzou is not matched - even when Mizzou wasn't ranked.

How's this for a dose of reality: this is our most anticipated regular season game in recent history.

For mizzou fans, sure.

It's completely subjective and arguable.

I'm personally looking forward to at least 3 more regular season games just this year. Probably even more considering how bad they are.

I get wanting to insult them by trying to pretend "this is a big game for you, but we don't really care that much because Baylor is our rival now"....but it's just fucking stupid to pretend this isn't an exciting game for us.

the peak intensity and anticipation for any KU game i’ve attended or watched was Memphis in ‘08

you guys seem awful hung up on feelings

I’d rather be playing Washburn this weekend.

Textbook strawman.

Tickets are pretty expensive for a fan base that is more excited about a handful of other games this season.

Foot on the gas and let Och 360 dunk at the buzzer.

I’m soklous.

IMO it was North Carolina '08, but this is subjective.

Sure, i'd agree.
That and our first matchup with Roi in the FF.
But MIZZOU 2012, both games honestly, regular season, probably rank in the top 10-15.

When KU played Kentucky in 12, we were playing with house money essentially, and that peak intensity and anticipation was rivaled by a regular season game v Mizzou.

Textbook strawman.

and nobody ever said this wasn’t going to be an exciting game

Cheapest ticket on Stubhub for the Mizzou game: $92
Most expensive: $1800

https://www.stubhub.com/kansas-jayhawks ... 104939350/

Cheapest ticket on Stubhub for the Kentucky game: $167
Most expensive: $1999

And that game isn't for 6 more weeks so those prices will likely climb.

Textbook strawman.

That's exactly what people are doing.

"Not our rival because they aren't in our conference anymore, UK is our rival now, oh wait not in our conference either, but we played them in a national title game almost a decade ago, and we recruit similar players, oh and champions classic 1 time every 3 years, except we always pretend that game doesn't matter, oh wait..."



Remember the UK KU mid season game in the middle of conference play a few years ago where the same group of you were saying the game doesn't matter, play the bench players, etc... yeah, that mindset screams rivalry.

We have people in this thread saying never pull starters Saturday and have Och dunk at buzzer.


It ain't the same.

Mizzou brings back Hawklin.
