BIG 12 Rivalry: Missouri vs. Kansas | Nov 28, 2009

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The 117th version of the Border Showdown was arguably the wildest in the nation's second most-played rivalry.

No. 118 topped it nearly every way.

Missouri tackled Todd Reesing for a safety with 2:39 remaining and Grant Ressel hit a 27-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Tigers a 41-39 win over Kansas on Saturday in another wild rivalry game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kansas won 40-37 last year, scoring a touchdown with 27 seconds left and blocking a field goal at the buzzer.

These bitter rivals somehow one-upped that epic game, trading big plays, scores and momentum seemingly with every snap, putting on a show no one from either team will likely ever forget.

Fellow Mizzou fans, no reason to run your mouths at the Jayhawks over this game. They hadn't won a conference game all season yet they gave 120% in this one and took it down to the wire and should have beat us. I have nothing but respect for the game they gave us.

kansas is crap this year, but this game is always exciting and close so mizzou be careful.

GO BLACK AND GOLD

What a close and exciting game. I'm a missouri fan but have Ku fans so its all good nothing but a friendly rivalry (well between us anyway). Can't really say the rivalry itself is all that friendly haha.

I was at this game, 2nd row by the players tunnel at the goal line. should've had a booth review to be sure her was down with the ball in the end zone.. It was very close to being across the line and wouldn't of been a safety that way..

@MikeJonesIsMyHero yeah but your on a football video in which KU sucks at so ku fans have to resort to all other sports.

[MikeJonesIsMyHero]

@STLIsWhereItsAt I'm saying all sports combined. Last time I checked, football was a sport. Try again.

[STLIsWhereItsAt]

@MikeJonesIsMyHero exactly what any typical jayhawk fan would do. resort to other sports but not football cuz they suck at it.

[jayh15xdaved]

This just proves that mu is good at one thing beating us in football talking about how great there team is and then they become 21st when Kansas can actually become 1st in a sport

[MikeJonesIsMyHero]

How many championships does Mizzou have in all sports combined compared to KU..?

[cornfednebraskaneer]

Are you serious, Mangino? Not only passing with under 3 minutes left to most likely stop the clock, but going 4 wide leaving your QB unprotected in the end zone? You had the lead! Between the tackles for 3 plays and play D!
