Man, you guys rocked us that year. I do hate the gay ass tigers, but in my book this is the BEST rivalry in college football. Pure hatred for the other side, I love it.
This game was played at Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, KS. 1969 was the final year that the stadium had a grass field. In 1970, the Jayhawks went to artificial turf, and have had several surfaces. In 2009, a FieldTurf surface will replace the AstroPlay surface that was in place on Kevisto Field (named for a prominent KU donor in 2006) since 2001.
This is the game when Coach Fam showed Missouri coach Dan Devine a peace sign, and Devine responded with his middle finger. Typical Missouri sportsmanship.
LOL, well, actually, it was supposedly Pepper Rodgers, the ku coach at the time, who flashed the peace sign, and Dan returned half of it. Good story, but something Ol' Pepper made up. Pretty funny though! Don Fambrough was a long-time ku assistant, and became head coach in the 70s, on two different occasions, as I recall. I think Fambrough is still living. If so, he's in his 80s.
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Don't answer that.
Who cares about the bowl game. You played in a half filled cavern. You are basing your chest thumping on what 5 old men in orange jackets decided in some smoky room in Southern Florida. Congrats. I will take our season everyday over yours.
We have a Cotton Bowl trophy, a Big XII North trophy and the Lamar Hunt trophy. We also finished number four in the polls.
Big 12 north trophy??!! Congrats, you were better than 5 teams at a given time. The big 12 north is nothing. You guys didnt win a conference title. You lost twice to the same team. Also do you or have you ever attended Missouri? Well in the mean while youll be thinking of something to write and ill be in San Antonio cause our program is good at both of our mens major sports.

All the BCS bluster sounds hollow at this point, doesn't it? Mizzou has scoreboard. We beat KU, we won the North, and we finished 4th in the nation above both OU and KU.
Thanks for once again showing why open enrollment in Kansas universities doesn't work. It's nice to know that the Orange Bowl means more to you than the Big 12 North title and an end-of-season top five national ranking. It looks like we're both happy. See you in KC in the fall...or not. Considering KU fans sold their tickets by the hundreds to MU fans last year, I can only imagine what it will be like this year.
I'm Mitch's Dad and I posted the video (I should get my own account). I have the 1969 highlight film on video as well as some very old footage from 1938-40 when Mitch's Grampa (my Dad) played at Mizzou. He also was an assistant coach at Mizzou from 1947-1985. Glad you enjoyed it!
This was terrific! I'd love to watch game films of all these games. Highlights don't always give the feel of the game.

Has Harry Caray done NFL football? If he didn't, that's a big loss in terms of NFL announcers.

So you were the Jayhawk fan that went?!? I was wondering who that was. It was great seeing the entire upper deck empty at the game.
BTW, congrats on your dream season...which wouldn't be complete without a smack down from your archrival.
