I have to admit I found this comment from KU's CB to be funny after your post from yesterday. Evidently you aren't the only one that doesn't understand why a game is a rivalry.

Quote:
The second-ranked Jayhawks and third-ranked (AP poll) Tigers will meet for the first time with national title implications for both, a fact that figures to amplify the intensity inherent in the rivalry with roots in the Civil War era.

"Ohio State-Michigan, I don't even know why they're rivals," Talib said, adding, "There's a reason why (we're) rivals."

I never said I didn't understand why a game is a rivalry. I just questioned the name that the rivalry was given.

Why do people give a shit if their rivalry is the greatest?

Kansas/Missouri is a great, bitter, heated rivalry. And now the football game means a great deal. It's a huge thing in the local area.

Texas/OU is a great rivalry. Michigan/Ohio St. is a great rivalry. Who cares who says which is better?

My only concern is making sure people understand that Texas/OU is a bigger rivalry than Texas/Texas A&M. The Aggies seem to be bothered by that one.

Dear jealous fans,

We're playing for a NCAA title spot and you're holding on to the past because that's all you've got.

Nevermind, then.

Carry on with the Kansas/Mizzou bashing.

Sheesh, you can always tell when someone's not used to being important.

I agree. This is just something for talk radio to spew about for a while, and America, having nothing better to do, joins the fray.

OU and Texas are both looking up the rankings last I checked. As long as OU is without their starting running back (and possibly their starting QB) and Colt McCoy is the QB of Texas, I feel pretty good that the North winner has a good chance at winning the B12 championship.

Interesing side note: I'm guessing that Mack Brown is kicking himself right now for letting Chase Daniel and Todd Reesing out of the state of Texas while recruiting Perilloux (sp?) instead (who later went to LSU).

There's a difference between "having a good chance at winning" and completely overlooking. It'll be fun to watch, either way. Especially considering it's either watch the game, or hang out with the in-laws!

That applies to players, but doesn't apply to fans. Fans are under no obligation to 'act the right way'. Not only that, but MU hasn't been in this position since 1960. That was the year that we would have played for the championship had KU not cheated and played an ineligible player against MU. KU won the game, but later had to forfeit it. Unfortunately, the damage was already done and MU missed its chance at a championship.

The idea that fans have to somehow curtail their comments is silly. They aren't going to post any of this banter on the locker room chalkboard.

That wasn't what I said. Fans don't have to conform to the unwritten rule where you are modest about your chances in a game no matter what the strength of your opponent when you actually believe that you'll win the game. Fans can say whatever they want or overlook any opponent without worrying that their comments will be on a bulletin board in the opponent's locker room.

I personally think we'll expose Kansas quite easily. They haven't beat a team with more than 6 wins thus far. I don't see that changing on Saturday.

Since there are a lot of Big 12 fans in this thread, maybe you can tell me what a couple of terms mean:

"Boomer Sooner" and "Rock Chalk Jayhawk."

I know that Oklahoma is the Sooners, and that Kansas is the Jayhawk. But I can't tell why booming and rock chalking help the team--or even what the terms mean.

I agree 100% towards the "we are relevant for the first and likely last time ever". So I think we are making the most of it- we can't act like we've been here before and I kindof dbout it will happen again. However, a lot of us are still in a daze about it, completely stunned. Again, it's a dream I'd just like never to be woken up from.

That said, I would just ask where have we (KU fans) been punk fans? Sure, there are always going to be punk fans for every school. But where, particularly on this board, have we been anything but, well, pleasantly stunned by this season and just trying to enjoy the moment? I don't recall any of us rubbing it in other's faces or anything like that unless I'm mistaken.

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Rock Chalk, Jayhawk" (a.k.a. the "Rock Chalk" chant) is a chant used at all University of Kansas Jayhawks sporting events and is well known throughout the nation by sports fans, particularly those who have attended a basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse and heard it loudly chanted. (Listen to the chant.)

The story of its origin most often told is that it was written by a Kansas chemistry professor, E.H.S. Bailey, and the University Science Club in 1886.

Its lyrics are a refrain of "Rock chalk... Jay-Hawk... KU," repeated twice slowly, and then three times quickly. It is usually preceded by the Kansas Alma Mater "Crimson and the Blue", and followed by the fight song, "I'm A Jayhawk".
It's also sung at the end of basketball games in Allen Fieldhouse and football games at Memorial Stadium if KU is winning by a significant amount and the other team has no hope of a comeback.

I can only gather that this is an extremely new phenomenon...?

I'm guessing Mizzou would actually have a better shot since they faced OU already and have seen them. Also, they (rightfully) think they could have won that game if not for turnovers so there's no confidence gap.

Of course, there will be some clashing with Mizzou fans ("hating each other since before the Civil War!") as that happens every year, regardless of how good the teams are. That said, I wasn't raised here so I definitely don't have the hate that a lot of fans have

I heard Chase Daniel say this as well, and I don't get it. Oklahoma was leading by 17 late in the 4th until Mizzou got a garbage TD to make it look closer. And OU had a couple of turnovers that led directly to MU scores if I remember correctly.

Now I'm not saying a rematch would be a lock for Oklahoma (and I've already said I'd rather see them play Kansas), but I think it'd be a better argument to say that Missouri lost the game because they didn't have a running game without Temple.

Well, in the first game, my impression was that Mizzou was down early, came back and was up going into the 4th quarter when they decided ball protection wasn't quite a crucial game component. I think most teams win when their opponent has 4 turnovers and you can't expect a good team to do that twice.

No doubt. I just find it interesting how many different ways one can spin a game. For instance, you could just as easily say that OU was down by a point going into the 4th because of missed extra points and then dominated down the stretch with pressuring defense and clutch offense while Mizzou caved and exposed their weaknesses when it mattered most.

Mizzou let OU run down and score after the half, then Macklin fumbled and OU scored again.. pretty much killed the game.

I am a nuetral observer in St Louis area.
Missouri--High flying offense, great QB. Cannot tackle. Had an easy schedule. Toughest game they got spanked by OU.

Kansas-- High flying offense. Great QB. Schedule was pure cake. Not one tough opponent all season long. They even avoided OU, Texas and Texas Tech.

I give the nod to Kansas though, as Pinkel is a coach that tends to get outcoached. That will be the deciding factor.

Great game on right now. Mississippi led 14-0 heading into the 4th quarter, but Mississippi State scored with 8:25 left to make it 14-7. Then with 2:38 remaining they return a punt 73 yards for a game tying TD. It is now 14-14 with 2:25 left.

Middle 2nd quarter - Arkansas leads LSU 7-6
Middle of the 3rd quarter - Delaware leads DSU 37-0 and I'm LMAO.
Late 4th - Colorado rallies to lead Nebraska 58-35 with a 34-0 edge in the 2nd half

Talk about an implosive first half ... LSU QB Flynn is 7/21 for 50 yds
