I'm no MU apologist, but they didn't want to split the fan base between the liberty bowl and the conference match-up against Kentucky. Even if they probably would have lost both games anyway. You can't really blame them.

Oh it makes complete sense from their standpoint. What MU fans hate about it on Twitter is it's the exact rationale they bagged Bill from 2012-2020.

It's not. But if it's true Burrito Bill was scared shitless as well. Neither are true, but if people keep saying beaker football caused a piss puddle, the other is true

I think it would be awesome if they played each other in a bowl.

That game would have some major emotion attached.

Mizzou has a lot more to lose than to gain in a bowl matchup against KU. Opposite is true for us matching up in hoops.

But facebook fans will always resort to things like "THIS TEAM IS SCARED ****LESS LEL"

But at the very least it makes for some fun burst.

Play that shitfest in the Papa John's bowl and baby you got a stew goin...
[Reply]

Yep. What does the Liberty bowl want more? KU vs 5-7 Rice or one of the oldest matchups in college football? What would be a better draw for fans and TV audiences?

It's clear folks want the game, but it's also clear why MU doesn't want to do it.

They are cowards

But they’ve always been

They kept stiffing Mo State and SLU for similar reasons

Cool, Burrito Boy was too then. Paid players and still was scared...sad

Well when you're already scheduled for 4 games starting before long, it makes perfect sense to duck the same team over an irrelevant bowl game.

Makes perfect sense ITT.

It’s 2022 and the mighty Kansas Jayhawks still strike fear into the hearts of mutts. Just doesn’t get old.
[Reply]

A program actually calling around to various bowls saying they didn't want to face 6-6 KU football.

Now that's something that will never get old. :-)

We need to hit the transfer portal hard in the offseason. Build some momentum from our quasi success. Should be a fun sell to kids and to tell em yeah Missouri was afraid of us so I wouldn't go play for those cowards

Missouri wins the golden tampon. A prestigious award for the biggest pussies in college football.

Some Hope Solo level roast beef action going on there.
