Future of the rivalry and comments from Kansas staff

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Well sourced and relevant comments from Kansas athletic director and kansas basketball coach are entirely encyclopedic and relevant. These figures are the two most visible people in the KU athletic department and their comments were reported by a national non-athletic news outlet. That's an high quality third-party source and the opinions expressed are clearly stated as being personal. However, because the figures are visible and the comments were made publicly to a national news outlet, it is quite relevant and indeed is probably the best commentary that was available in the public discourse from knowledgeable figures. I suspect that the editors removing this rather disagree with the picture that the comments paint. If you have additional information to add and have good reliable sources please add it but don't removed quality and relevant information with a good source without having a discussion here first.

Original Name of Football Team

edit

The section I edited formerly stated the students called the football team the Jayhawks, citing the 1899 yearbook. However, in examining the 1899 yearbook, it is evident the team is called the Jayhawkers. http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/Kansas_University_Jayhawker_Yearbook/1899/Page_102.html Thus, the evidence supports the contention of University of Kansas (see their "Traditions" write-up) that the original name of the football team was the Jayhawkers.

Missouri Tigers in the Civil War

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

An interesting historical tidbit, in light of todays rivalry, is that the towns of Columbia and Lawrence once had a common enemy in the personage of confederate bushwacker Bloody Bill Anderson. Bill Anderson had been a leader in the raid on Lawerence. The Missouri Tigers home guard was formed in response to confederate bushwacker action in central Missouri. The unit most famously protected Columbia from Bill Anderson and an outcome potentially (though unlikely) as destructive as the burning of Lawrence. Indeed, because of the Tigeres watchful guard Bloody Bill avoided Columbia, instead leading to the Centralia Massacre. This is ironic through the lens of modern collegiate athletics, where the Jayhawks and the Tigers are seen as polar opposites and often times, particularly by Kansas supporters, as representative of the two sides of the civil war, though those of us who study history know better.

The Tiger militia unit was not formed till after the Centralia affair. You want ironic? Bill Anderson started as a jayhawker out of Kansas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:5B0:25FF:2CF0:0:0:0:38 (talk) 05:50, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
