The Border War (officially branded as the M&I Bank Border Showdown for sponsorship reasons) is the name of an intense rivalry between former Big Eight and Big 12 teams from the University of Missouri and University of Kansas, the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks. The future of the rivalry is in doubt, as Missouri will leave the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference on July 1, 2012. Missouri has indicated a willingness to continue the rivalry, as it began, by playing non-conference games.

Background

The intense rivalry between the two universities can be traced to the open violence involving anti-slavery and pro-slavery elements that took place in the Kansas Territory and the western frontier towns of Missouri throughout the 1850s. These incidents were attempts by some Missourians (then a slave state) to influence whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free or slave state. The era of political turbulence and violence has been termed Bleeding Kansas. When the Civil War broke out, the animosity that developed during the Kansas territorial period erupted in particularly vicious fighting. In the opening year of the war, six Missouri towns (the largest being Osceola) and large swaths of the western Missouri country side were plundered and burned by various forces from Kansas. These attacks led to a retaliatory raid on Lawrence, Kansas two years later (Lawrence Massacre), which in turn led to the infamous General Order No. 11 (1863), the forced depopulation of several western Missouri counties. The raid on Lawrence was led by William Quantrill, a Confederate guerrilla born in Ohio who had formed his bushwhacker group at the end of 1861. At the time the Civil War broke out, Quantrill was a resident of Lawarence, Kansas teaching school. SI.com supervising producer Dan George summed up the rivalry by stating "It's more than the schools -- it's a state thing going back to before the Civil War, when William Quantrill's Confederate guerillas burned Lawrence and murdered nearly 200 people. Neither Missouri nor Kansas folks have forgotten it." Those on the Missouri side are quick to point out that the Jayhawkers were guilty of the same things - crossing into Missouri, leading brutal raids and burning towns, and that Quantrill was part of a group that almost burned down Columbia, the home of the University of Missouri, due to it being a Union stronghold.

The early athletic matches between the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri are said to have helped aid both states in the healing process following the civil war. The athletic rivalry started off with a bang when the University of Kansas chose to name their athletic team the Jayhawkers (now Jayhawks), the same term that had been used to describe the unsavory assortment of outlaws, independent military bands, and rogue Union troops that had plundered and burned their way through western Missouri just 30 years earlier.

Over the years, the series has developed into one of the most bitter and hateful rivalries in college sports. Even the coaches have gotten into the rivalry. Former Kansas football coach Don Fambrough, when referred to a physician across the state line in Kansas City, Missouri, for treatment, exclaimed "I'll die first!": not to be outdone, Missouri's former basketball coach Norm Stewart would traditionally have his players stay in Kansas City, Missouri, before playing at Kansas, going so far as to require the team bus to buy its gasoline at a Missouri filling station and reprimanding players who ate in Kansas, as he did not want to put any money into Kansas' economy.

The 2007 football season brought the origins of the rivalry between the two states back into the spotlight. A t-shirt created by a Missouri alumnus gained national attention with its reference to Quantrill's Raid of 1863. The shirt depicted the burning of Lawrence in 1863 following the raid of William Quantrill and his Bushwhackers against the Jayhawkers of Kansas. The image of Lawrence burning was paired with the word “Scoreboard” and a Mizzou logo. On the back of the shirts, William Quantrill was quoted, saying "Our cause is just, our enemies many." Some Kansas fans interpreted these shirts as supporting slavery. KU supporters returned fire with a shirt depicting abolitionist John Brown with the words, “Kansas: Protecting America from Missouri since 1854.”

The 2007 Border Showdown logo

Name change

In 2004 its name was officially changed from Border War to the Border Showdown.^{[citation needed]} KU athletic director Lew Perkins stated, "We feel that in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, and the ensuing events around the world, it is inappropriate to use the term ‘war' to describe intercollegiate athletics events." Players, students, alumni, and fans have failed to adopt the new name of the rivalry, and even media outlets such as Sports Illustrated and NBC continue to refer to the rivalry as the Border War. Former Kansas coach Don Fambrough expressed his disapproval for the rivalry's politically correct "Border Showdown" rebranding by saying, "It's a goddamn war. And they started it!"

Points system

Border Showdown

Missouri (7)	Kansas (2)
2003, 2005 2007, 2008 2009, 2010, 2011	2004, 2006

Beginning in the 2002–2003 season, the series was memorialized in a sponsored contest, under which points were awarded for athletic contests between the two schools. Only sports where both schools compete are eligible for the contests, and because Kansas fields fewer teams than Missouri, several of Missouri's sports (such as gymnastics, men's swimming and wrestling) do not count in the Border Showdown statistics. Bonus points are awarded for matchups that take place in post-season competition (Big 12 or NCAA tournaments). Between 0.5 and 3.0 points are awarded per matchup, with approximately 24-27 matchups taking place per academic year. The Border Showdown moniker is applied most publicly to the annual football and basketball games. Missouri currently leads the Showdown series 7-2.

Football

The Missouri-Kansas football series is the second-most-played rivalry in major-college football history. The teams first matched up in football on October 31, 1891. There have been 9 ties in the 120 games played. The game is the oldest college sports rivalry west of the Mississippi River.

Through the end of the 2009 season, Missouri has an all-time football record of 612-511-52 (.545), with 26 bowl games and 12 bowl victories, while Kansas, through 2009 has an all-time record of 568-550-58 (.508), with 6 bowl victories in 12 bowl games.

• The Tigers and Jayhawks first met on the gridiron on Halloween in 1891 in Kansas City, Missouri. The Jayhawks pulled out a 22-10 win in that first game.

• In 1909–1910, both squads entered the game undefeated (Missouri at 6-0-1, and Kansas at 8-0). Two dropkick field goals propelled the Tigers to a 12-6 victory, an undefeated season, and a Missouri Valley title.

• Missouri claims the 1911 football game in Columbia, Missouri, as the world's first Homecoming. The game was "broadcast" by telegraph to over 1,000 fans in Lawrence.

• 19 of the first 20 games were played in Kansas City, with the 1907 contest played in St. Joseph. In 1911, the game began to be played on the respective college campuses, where it would be played (with the exception of 1944 and 1945, when it was played in Kansas City, Missouri) for the next 94 years. The 1911 game was played in Columbia, Missouri, and alumni from MU were asked to "come home" to Rollins Field, giving rise to the tradition of homecoming. That first homecoming game resulted in a 3-3 tie between the schools.

• Kansas held the early advantage in the series, with a 14-4-4 advantage from 1891 through 1922. The Tigers rebounded with a 10-5-1 record in the next 16 years, but Kansas led 5-0-1 during the next 6 years (1939–1944), holding the Tigers scoreless each year.

• The Tigers led the series for the next 36 years from 1945 through 1980, holding an advantage over Kansas of 20-13-3. During that period, Kansas had two different 3 game winning streaks, while Missouri held winning streaks of 5 games, 4 games, and 3 games (3 times).

• Since 1981 Kansas led the series over Missouri, holding a 16-14 edge. Since the inception of the Big 12 the series is tied at 7-7. With their 35-7 victory in 2010, Missouri won the latest game.

The 2007 Border War game between Missouri and Kansas at Arrowhead Stadium

Kansas Jayhawks vs. Missouri Tigers at Arrowhead Stadium on November 29, 2008.

• In late 2006, the schools signed a two-year agreement to play the game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. While the capacity of the Kansas City Chiefs home ground at Arrowhead (79,451) is much bigger than either Memorial Stadium in Lawrence (50,000) or Faurot Field (71,004), many fans of both schools, and merchants in both Columbia and Lawrence, have expressed reservations about the move, since it requires each to give up a home game. While a much larger percentage of all Jayhawk fans are in the Kansas City metropolitan area than the percentage of all Tiger fans, and many Missouri season ticket holders come from St. Louis, attendance is expected to be relatively even between both schools. In 2008 the Arrowhead series was renewed through at least 2012.

• On November 24, 2007, the two teams entered the game both ranked in the top five in the nation: Kansas at #2 and Missouri at #3. On the heels of #1 LSU's loss the day before, Missouri won the game 36-28, thereby ending the regular season ranked #1 in the nation in both the Bowl Championship Series and Associated Press polls. The game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, with a near-record 80,537 people (the second-largest crowd in stadium history) in attendance, was the largest TV audience to watch any 2007 regular season game.

• On November 26, 2011, the final Border War was played at Arrowhead Stadium as the Missouri Tigers announced that they would be moving to the SEC effective July 1, 2012. Missouri won the final Border War game and they also won the entire series with a record of 57-54-9.

Indian War Drum

The winner of the football game receives the informally arranged Indian War Drum traveling trophy.

The drum trophy originated in 1937 when MU's Kansas City Alumni Association in cooperation with the Kansas University Lettermen's Association decided to present an authentic Indian tom-tom drum each Thanksgiving to the winner of the Kansas-Missouri football game. The decision was finalized at annual Homecoming luncheon of the M Men's Club at Rothwell Gymnasium on November 13, 1937. The MU Kansas City Alumni Association made arrangements for the drum to be built by Osage Indians, because they were more representative of the two states than any other tribe. The drum remained in Missouri's possession for the first few years until the trophy was briefly forgotten during war time. The tradition resumed on an annual basis in 1947, and the MU and KU circles of Omicron Delta Kappa served as caretakers of the drum throughout most of its history.

When the trophy disappeared in the 1980s, the Taos Indians of New Mexico built a new one. The original trophy was later recovered in a Read Hall basement in Columbia under a pile of boxes and it is now in the College Football Hall of Fame.

In 1999, at the urging of Kansas the drum was replaced again with a bass drum and the second drum became the property of the Mizzou Alumni Association.

The Kansas and Missouri athletics and alumni associations’ logos are on opposite ends. While in Missouri the Alumni Association and Student Board now keep the trophy. While in Kansas it is now kept by the Student Alumni Association in the Booth Family Hall of Fame there.

Lamar Hunt trophy

Beginning with the 2007 game at Arrowhead, the winner also receives the Lamar Hunt Trophy, in honor of the late Chiefs owner who long envisioned bringing the Border War to Arrowhead. This should not be confused with the Lamar Hunt Trophy which is presented to the NFL's AFC champions every year.

1960 controversy

Although 57–54–9 for MU is the often stated series result, there is an ongoing dispute about whether the 1960 game should have been counted as a win for Kansas, leaving MU in the lead 56–55–9. The Big 8 retroactively forfeited the win to Missouri due to Kansas player Bert Coan being voted ineligible following the 1960 season. The record books of the University of Kansas, and the NCAA, state the record as a win for Kansas, fueling the controversy. Several other publications have referenced the series record more to the favor of Kansas due to the NCAA official record books record of the game as well as Kansas actually winning the game on the field.

Going into the 1960 game, Missouri (9–0, #1 nationally ranked) was known for their very stingy defense that, until giving up 19 points to Oklahoma the week before the Border War match-up, had not allowed a team to reach double digits all season. They boasted three shutouts. Their offense relied heavily on a wide sweep to the right with speedsters Norris Stevenson and Mel West in the backfield. It was run out of a combination of the T-formation and the old Single Wing. The term “student body right” is often used to describe the USC sweep play in the mid to late 1960s, but that phrase was created to describe Missouri’s wide sweep. Kansas (6–2, ranked #11, with their 2 losses coming to #1 Syracuse, 14-7, and at #1 Iowa, 21-7) was making history that day by becoming the first team to face three #1 teams in the same season. Kansas had a pretty good defense of their own, surrendering a mere 9.1 points per game with two shutouts that season. Kansas was also loaded in the backfield. Even without Coan, Kansas' backfield consisted of three future NFL draft picks: two-time All-American John Hadl at QB had led the Big 8 in all-purpose yardage as a RB in the 1959 season; halfback Curtis McClinton (three-time All-Big 8), and Doyle Schick at fullback.

On November 19, 1960, in front of a then record crowd of 43,000 in Columbia, Kansas won the game against Missouri by a score of 23–7. The defenses lived up to their billing, leading to a scoreless tie at the half. Kansas had threatened twice in the first half, but had turned the ball over on downs after Missouri’s defense made a formidable goal line stand. Later, after advancing to Missouri's 12, Missouri’s defense again tightened, sacking Hadl for a huge loss, and Kansas missed the ensuing FG. Missouri never threatened on offense in the first half. The Kansas defense was keying hard on the sweep. In fact, it wasn’t until midway through the 3rd quarter that Missouri was even able to achieve a first down. Even then, Missouri didn't achieve their 2nd first down until the fourth quarter. Kansas scored first in the second half with a field goal. Then, after a Missouri fumble deep in Tiger territory, Hadl hit Coan on a TD pass. Near the end of the 3rd, Kansas went on the games only sustained drive by either team, 69 yards on 13 plays. It was capped with a 2-yard TD run by Coan. Missouri finally got on the board with 5:24 remaining in the game, making the score 17–7. The final Kansas touchdown came after KU picked off a desperation Missouri pass, and then passed for a score with less than a minute left. Coan clearly played a role in the Kansas victory with 2 touchdowns and 67 yards on 9 carries, but many believe it was the Kansas defense that was the deciding factor. Dan Devine stated "the better team won", but also cited Coan as a key factor in the game.

Kansas was awarded the Big 8 championship following the game. However, on December 8, 1960, the Big 8 retroactively forfeited the game and the Big 8 Championship to Missouri due to the Big 8 voting Bert Coan ineligible, on a 5–3 vote.

The background to this ruling was as follows. Coan had transferred to KU in the fall of 1959 from TCU after a reported disagreement with the TCU trainer-track coach. At TCU's urging, the NCAA investigated the matter and it was revealed Coan had taken a plane trip to an all-star game in the summer of 1959, paid for by KU donor and AFL co-founder Bud Adams. On October 26, 1960, KU was placed on 1 year NCAA probation because the NCAA declared that KU alumni indulged in illegal recruiting practices consisting of "excessive entertainment" in the recruitment of Coan. Adams denied he took Coan to the game as a recruit. Initially, Coan also denied any impropriety in his transfer to KU, but later in a 2007 interview he admitted he had indeed been illegally recruited by Adams. No KU officials were ever found to be directly involved in the ordeal. While Coan was not ruled ineligible by the NCAA, the NCAA finding triggered questions of Coan's eligibility in light of conference rules. One conference rule banned off-campus recruiting trips; another rule specified that any athlete recruited in violation of the ban would be ineligible. After KU was placed on NCAA probation, KU received a phone call from the University of Nebraska, their next conference opponent, questioning Coan's eligibility. It is alleged Nebraska had earlier received a letter from Missouri's Don Faurot concerning Coan. KU sought to obtain a ruling from the conference at that time, but was instead told the matter would be taken up at the post-season conference meeting. KU took the position that the NCAA had mistakenly concluded Coan was a prospective student-athlete at the time of the trip with Adams, and thus there had been no infraction of conference rules. Coan did not play in KU's game against Nebraska however, due to injury.

At the post-season conference meeting in December, allegedly at the behest of MU's Don Faurot, but in accordance with the conference's response to KU's inquiry in November, the Big 8 faculty committee took up the issue of Bert Coan. Based upon the NCAA's ruling that a representative of KU's athletic interests, Bud Adams, had transported Coan from his home in Texas to Chicago to view a football all-star game, the conference's ruling committee ruled, by a vote of 5–3, that KU had violated a conference ban on off-campus recruiting. By conference rule, any student-athlete that was recruited in violation of this ban was automatically ineligible. The committee accordingly took up the matter of the period in which Coan would be ineligible. The committee initially defeated two separate motions to declare Coan ineligible for the entire 1961 season, before finally declaring him ineligible for a period of one year starting from the date of the NCAA finding by a vote of 6-2. The Big 8 then ordered KU to forfeit the two games in which Coan had played following the NCAA finding (versus Colorado and Missouri). By virtue of the forfeits, the conference championship was awarded to Missouri.

Despite the Big 8's official ruling on the matter, the reactions from many on all sides were not in agreement with the Big 8 committee in the end. When asked at the Look All-America gathering in New York City Missouri All-American, Danny LaRose said, "It'll always be a 9-1 season as far as I'm concerned. And I think the other players will feel that way, too." However, LaRose also expressed his admiration of the Big Eight “for standing up for what was right – enforcing its own rules.” Also at the gathering, Colorado All-American guard Joe Romig echoed similar feelings when he said, "I don't care what the NCAA or the Big Eight does. We lost the game at Kansas. Nothing will change that." Meanwhile, Kansas All-American quarterback John Hadl expressed more concern about his teammate when asked at the All-America gathering and had this to say, "He's a good guy. I hope it doesn't hit him too hard." Missouri head coach Dan Devine expressed his apparent disappointment in the process adopted by the Big 8 when he said, "This is the worst thing that could happen in inter-collegiate athletics. I mean the fact that they were playing a boy not knowing he was ineligible. That should have been determined before he played." For his part then executive secretary of the Big 8, Reaves Peters, said the case was the "toughest case to come before us in history."

KU protested the Bg 8 conference ruling primarily on the basis that Coan was not recruited during his trip with the KU booster. Despite the fact that Coan later admitted he had been recruited to KU during the trip, thus invalidating KU's objection, KU continues to defy the conference ruling in claiming the game as a win.

Colorado does not count this forfeit as a win in their record books. While KU claims the MU game as a win, they do not claim the conference championship that the conference also ordered them to forfeit.

Ultimately the on-field loss to Kansas cost Missouri the 1960 national championship. The final AP poll was released one week after the game (before the decision was made to force Kansas to forfeit) and the 8–1 Minnesota Gophers took Missouri's spot at number one in the poll, giving them the AP National Championship. Missouri went on to finish the 1960 season 11–0 (10-1) including a win over Navy in the Orange Bowl, while Minnesota finished 8-2 with a loss in the Rose Bowl.

Basketball

Kansas leads the all-time series, 171-95.

Notable games

• 1906-07 - Missouri began the basketball border showdown in Columbia against the Jayhawks with a 34-31 triumph, and the following day followed it up with a 34-12 beating. This left Missouri with a 2-0 all time record against basketball's founder, and Kansas' first coach, James Naismith.
• 1909–1910 - Each of the basketball teams had players from the team's football squad (Tommy Johnson for Kansas, and Ted Hackney for Missouri). The players picked up where they left off from the gridiron, playing a rough and tumble style that, some stories say, caused James Naismith to exclaim, when viewing the second contest between the two, "Oh, my gracious! They are murdering my game!" Kansas won both meetings.
• 1922 - Kansas and Missouri split their conference games, tying for the Missouri valley title at 15-1. Although Missouri's committee on intercollegiate athletics challenged Kansas to a one game playoff at a neutral site, Phog Allen refused to accept, leaving the decision to Kansas' athletic board and Chancellor, who declined. While no national champions were actually crowned until 1938 when the first national tournament was held, in 1936 Kansas was retroactively awarded a Helms Foundation National Championship. The title was again awarded to Kansas for the 1923 season.
• 1951 - In the finals of the Big 7 Holiday Tournament, Kansas center Clyde Lovellette stomps on the stomach of Missouri star Win Wilfong. He is ejected from the game and reprimanded by coach Phog Allen. Missouri coach Wilbur Stalcup works the microphone to calm down outraged Tigers fans, and in so doing earns the respect of Allen (the two had previously been enemies). Kansas wins the game and the tournament with a 75-65 victory.
• 1961 - During a MU loss to Kansas in Lawrence, a bench-clearing fistfight erupts between the two teams. Afterward, KU athletic director Dutch Lonborg suggests the schools discontinue the rivalry. In the nationally-televised return match, won by Missouri, another brawl explodes, this time involving the fans who streamed onto the court after Wayne Hightower threw a punch after being fouled while trying to rebound a missed lay-up. The incidents were seen as a hold-over from that year's football controversy.
• 1971 - Kansas defeats Missouri, 72-68 in overtime, to win the final game ever played at MU's Brewer Fieldhouse. It brings the Jayhawks one step closer to a perfect Big 8 record (they later beat Nebraska to achieve the 14-0 mark.)
• 1972 – with Kansas having a poor season and Missouri trying for a Big 8 title, Bud Stallworth drops 50 points on Missouri in the final regular season game of the year in a 93-80 Kansas win at Allen Fieldhouse.
• 1987 - MU and KU face off in the title game of the Big Eight Tournament. KU's Danny Manning elbows MU's Derrick Chievous in the eye by accident. Chievous nonetheless leads his Tigers to the 1987 Big Eight Tournament championship. The year also saw almost-identical game-winning field goals from Mizzou freshman guard Lee Coward at the ends of two games, the regular-season clash at Hearnes and in the Big Eight Tournament final.
• 1989 – Missouri registered the largest victory by a visitor in Allen Fieldhouse, winning 91-66 over Kansas under first-year coach Roy Williams.
• 1990 - The two teams meet in Allen Fieldhouse, with KU #1 and Mizzou #2. The Tigers win, 77-71. Missouri also defeated KU earlier in the year in a #4 vs. #1 game.
• 1994 - The Tigers twice beat a higher ranked Kansas team, sweeping KU on their way to an undefeated conference record.
• 1995 – Kansas became the first visiting team to score 100 points in the Hearnes Center, winning 102-89.
• 1996 - Missouri upsets the #3 Jayhawks in Columbia 77-73. This is the first of three straight years that a top 3 or higher ranked KU team will lose at MU.
• 1997 - A top-ranked and undefeated Kansas team starring Jacque Vaughn, Paul Pierce, and Raef LaFrentz comes into Columbia to face the unheralded Tigers. In a see-saw battle that some have called the greatest MU-KU game ever, Corey Tate's jumper with five seconds left in double overtime hands Kansas its only regular-season loss, 96-94.
• 2002 - At Allen Fieldhouse, KU headed to the locker room with a slim 43-42 halftime lead. The second half belonged to the Jayhawks, as they doubled up Mizzou 62-31 in the final 20 minutes en route to a 105-73 win. Kansas becomes the first and only Big 12 team to go a perfect 16-0 through the conference, concluding the season with a 95-92 win in Columbia.
• 2003 - During halftime of the KU-Texas basketball game, former MU coach Norm Stewart is presented a rocking chair by KU. A common chant in Allen Fieldhouse during "Stormin' Norm's" days with the Tigers was "Sit Down, Norm!" whenever he would jump off the bench to argue a call. For the first - and only - time ever, the Fieldhouse crowd told him to "sit down, Norm!" good-naturedly.
• 2004 – Kansas won the final game ever played at the MU's Hearnes Center 84-82 on David Padgett's basket with 2 seconds left.
• 2006 - Missouri upsets Kansas in overtime when KU's Christian Moody misses two straight free throws with 0.4 seconds remaining in regulation. Afterward, however, the Tigers collapse, Quin Snyder resigns as coach, and in the rematch in Lawrence, Kansas crushes MU 79-46.
• 2007 - In Lawrence, Kansas freshman Sherron Collins came off the bench for 23 points to thwart Missouri's upset bid in an 80-77 win, the first MU-KU game for new Tiger coach Mike Anderson. In Columbia, the Jayhawks' Julian Wright scored a career-best 33 in a 92-74 win, KU's first victory over the Tigers in Mizzou Arena. The game was played on the one-year anniversary of the resignation of Missouri coach Quin Snyder.

• 2009 - In the first time the Tigers and Jayhawks met both ranked since 2003, Kansas goes up 30-16 at the half, but a furious Mizzou comeback capped by a Zaire Taylor jumper with :01.3 seconds to play gives Missouri the win in Columbia, 62-60. In the rematch at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas avenged its loss to Missouri 90-65.

Current series:			171-95, Kansas leads series

* - OT
** - Double OT
NOTE: For games played on neutral floors, KU is listed as the home team, even though this may not have been the case. This is simply due to lack of information on who was the official home team.

Baseball

MU currently leads the baseball series, although the series history is disputed by the two schools. The KU media guide shows that the first game played between the two schools was in 1899, while the first recorded game in the MU media guide was in 1901 (the MU guide lists the entire 1899 season as "unknown"). The KU media guide lists the series with MU ahead 195-121-2 while the MU media guide lists the tigers ahead 212-123-2. In 2007, the Jayhawks and Tigers added a non-conference game against each other in addition their three-game regular season Big 12 series. The non-conference game was scheduled to be played at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, home of Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals. However, the initial meeting was cancelled due to rain. The teams did meet at Kauffman Stadium in 2008, with Kansas winning 3-0. In the 2009 meeting at Kauffman Stadium, Kansas again came away with the victory, 7-3. In the 2010 meeting, Kansas again prevailed, 1-0. In the 2011 meeting, Kansas won, 7-1.
