Missouri border 8 states, tied for most of any other state in the union. Why is Kansas the focus of their anger? The answer to that question lies in the foundations of rivalry. The attitudes of fans and how they perceive the opposition is what shapes any rivalry, but in this one in particular, those attitudes have deep roots. The history those roots have latched onto may not always be sound, and the teams may not longer be in the same conference, but that hasn't damped one of the most legendary rivalries in college athletics.
