Surely we can raise money for such a cause without stooping to this.

I just received a text from KSHB that the KU vs MU Basketball game will be Oct. 22, 2017 at the Sprint Center and benefits to go to the Hurricane victims. So looks like it is going to happen. I guess it is a good cause and a way to raise a lot of money.

I always thought the rivalry between us and Missouri was a nasty one, and one we were happy to be done with, not angry because they left the conference.

Wonder who thought of this? I can imagine someone saying, "How can we get KU to play Missou? Oh, I know, let's say it's for charity so KU will look bad if they refuse! Glad we thought of this before Wichita U did!"

Hope we don't play them. Don't want to watch if they do. Finished with the Antlers and the other vicious fans, period.

I just emailed the Athletic Director with my thoughts. It is a bit late, but maybe if he gets enough negative emails he will at least consider the fans' wishes.

Of course we shouldn't be playing Mizzou and we shouldn't be playing any of the former Big12 teams outside of the NCAA tournament IMO. But, if I remember right, we've played Colorado and we have Nebraska on the schedule this year. Have we played Tx A&M too?

So the horse has left the barn.

Mongo just pawn in game of life.

I agree with you on not wanting to play them again ever. It's just too ugly on their part.

Ugh. We gain nothing from this and only elevate an otherwise unimportant program. I'm all for charity, but I'd rather just donate the gate from our current exhibition games.

Then to add to the fun, we've learned today that UNC is completely avoiding any NCAA sanctions for "the biggest cheating scandal in NCAA history."

Friday the 13th I guess.
