The Border War (alternatively, Border Showdown ) is the name of the competition between the athletic teams from the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri, Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers respectively.. The athletic competition between the two schools began in 1891. From 1907 to 2012 both schools were in the same athletic conference and competed every year in all sports. Sports Illustrated describes the competition as the oldest competition (Division I) west of the Mississippi River in 2011, but has been inactive since Missouri left the 12th Great Conference for the Southeastern Conference on July 1, 2012. Although Missouri wants to continue athletic competition, there is no game a regular regular season scheduled between the two schools. However, the two schools played an exhibition game in men's basketball on October 22, 2017, with Kansas beating Missouri 93-87. The proceeds go to 4 different charities for Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Maria grants.
Competition has historical roots in violent relations between Kansas and Missouri states, including guerilla warfare between countries before and during the American Civil War.

​​â € <â €
Many believe the rivalry can trace its history to open up violence involving anti-slavery and pro-slavery elements that took place in the Kansas Territories and the western border towns of Missouri throughout the 1850s. These incidents are an attempt by some Missourian (later slave states) to influence whether Kansas will enter the Union as a free country or a slave. The era of political upheaval and violence has been called Bleeding Kansas. When the Civil War began, the growing hostility during Kansas's territorial period erupted in a very fierce battle. In the opening year of the war, six Missouri towns (the largest was Osceola) and a large plot of western Missouri were looted and burned by various troops from Kansas, commonly called jayhawkers. These attacks led to a retaliatory attack in Lawrence, Kansas two years later (Lawrence Massacre), which led to General Order No. 2. 11 (1863), forced depopulation of several western Missouri areas. The raids at Lawrence were led by William Quantrill, an Ohio-born Confederate guerrilla who had formed his bushwhacker group in late 1861. Quantrill was previously a Lawrence resident, taught there until school closed in 1860. Quantrill also attacked the nearby town of Olathe causing chaos during the civil war.
A recent analysis of the history of competition by a University of Kansas professor concludes that historical memories of the Civil War era were not introduced into athletic competition until the 1970s, and the historical angle did not seep into popular imagination until the 1990s. Disclaimer provides broad evidence of competition "from the beginning, influenced by the hostilities dating to the Border War". The cited evidence included newspaper articles at the opening of the game in 1891 with reference to the Border War, and a University of Missouri professor who declared in 1910, "an annual soccer game... only a continuation of the border wars of antiquity." In addition, an article on competition written by Kansas football coach AR Kennedy in 1917 stated, "It is not surprising that the terms border warfare 'Jayhawk' and 'Bushwhacker' are revived, because in many ways soccer is a worthy successor to war. "
The mascots of the two universities also came from this period. The University of Kansas, like many other universities, did not have an official mascot during the early years of its existence. The football team has used many independent mascots, including a pig. In the three years preceding and decades after the Civil War, the term "Jayhawker" was generally a nickname of "robber robbers" both in the Missouri-Kansas region and nationally. However, after Charles Jenison baptized the Seventh Kansas Kansas Volunteer Keeper "The Kansas Jayhawkers Independence" in 1861, the term also began to be used as a name for every troop from Kansas, and finally by Kansans as a term they proudly apply to themselves. In the late 1800s, it became synonymous with the natives of Kansans, much like Hoosiers in the state of Indiana. According to the University of Kansas, when soccer player KU first took the field in 1890, they were called Jayhawkers. The University of Missouri also adopted the name associated with the Civil War. When the first MU football team was formed in 1890, at a mass gathering of students and interested citizens was held to perfect the team organization, "Tiger" was unanimously chosen as team name. During the Civil War, "Tiger" was a "house guard" unit that protected Columbia from guerrilla attacks. The Tiger militia unit was ordered by James Rollins, to whom the MU Board then granted the title " Father Universitatis Missouriensis " (Father of the University of Missouri) in recognition of his "great efforts to promote generation, usefulness, and success of the University. Ironically, they once protected Columbia from attack by a band led by "Bloody Bill" Anderson, who participated in Burning of Lawrence along with Quantrill.
Over the years, this series has evolved into one of the most bitter and hateful rivalries in college sports. In an early soccer game, the sidelines will be occupied by Veterans of Civil War from both sides. They once stood face to face on the battlefield, now they look across the athletic field. The emotion of the real war that ever took place between states became incorporated into the athletic contest between the two institutions. Overtime, even the trainers have entered the competition. Former Kansas football coach Don Fambrough, when he was referred to a doctor in the state line in Kansas City, Missouri, for treatment, exclaimed, "I'll die first!" Not to be outdone, former Missouri basketball coach Norm Stewart will traditionally have his players living in Kansas City, Missouri, before playing in Kansas, going so far as to request a team bus to buy gasoline at a Missouri filling station and scold the player who eats in Kansas, not wanting to put money into the Kansas economy.
The 2007 football season brings the origin of competition between the two countries back into the spotlight. A T-shirt made by a Missouri alumnus gained national attention with his reference to Quantrill's Raid of 1863. Missouri Alumni used the shirt to celebrate Missouri's pro-slavery missionary who burned down the city of Lawrence, Kansas. Lawrence residents are mostly Jayhawkers. The shirt depicts the burning of Lawrence in 1863 after the attacks of William Quantrill and his Bushwhackers. Lawrence's burning shadow is paired with the word "Scoreboard" and Mizzou logo. At the back of the shirt, William Quantrill was quoted, saying "For we only, our enemies are many." Some Kansas fans interpret this shirt as a slave-supporter, and in recent years, the nickname "Slavers" has been used by many of KU's fans to refer to anything related to Missouri. Supporters of KU responded with a shirt shooting John Brown with abolitionist words, "Kansas: Keep America Safe From Missouri Since 1854.
Rename
In 2004 his name was officially changed from Border War to Border Showdown. Director of KU athlete Lew Perkins stated, "We feel that after the events of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent events around the world, it is not appropriate to use the term 'war' to describe athletic events between clubs." Name changes are generally mocked by people on both sides. Players, students, alumni, and fans fail to adopt a new name, and even media outlets like Sports Illustrated and NBC continue to refer to competition as a Border War.

Football
When the series ends in 2011, it is the second most played rivalry in the history of Division I-A football (FBS), with 120 matches played. Since then it has fallen behind the competition of the Virginia-North Carolina, Auburn-Georgia, and Oregon-Oregon State conferences, but is still ranked 4th in FBS. The team first met on October 31, 1891. After the 1918 game was canceled due to the 1918 flu pandemic, the team met on a 93-year-old field in a row, from 1919 to 2011. Missouri led the series with 57-54-9 Record (including a victory disputed by forfeit in 1960).
- The Tigers and Jayhawks first met on a green field on Halloween in 1891 in Kansas City, Missouri. Jayhawks drew a 22-10 win in the first game.
- In 1909-10, both teams entered the game unbeaten (Missouri 6-0-1, and Kansas at 8-0). Two drop-field goals pushed the Tigers to a 12-6 victory, an unbeaten season, and a Missouri Valley title.
- The NCAA recognizes the University of Missouri as the birthplace of mudik and football games of 1911 in Columbia, Missouri, as the world's first Homecoming. The game is "broadcast" by telegraphs to over 1,000 fans at Lawrence.
- 19 of the first 20 games played in Kansas City, with the 1907 contest played at St. Joseph. In 1911, the game began to play on their respective college campuses, where it would be played (with the exception of 1944 and 1945, when 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 "go home" to Rollins Field, giving rise to the tradition of going home. The first homecoming game resulted in a 3-3 bond between schools.
- Kansas held an early advantage in the series, with a 14-4-4 lead from 1891 through 1922. The Tigers rebounded with a 10-5-1 record in 16 years, but Kansas led 5-0-1 for 6 years front (1939-44), detaining tigers without numbers every year.
- Tigers led the series for the next 36 years from 1945 to 1980, holding an advantage over Kansas 20-13-3. During that period, Kansas had two different 3 game winning lines, while Missouri held 5 games, 4 games, and 3 games (3 times).
- Since 1981, Kansas led the series to Missouri, holding a 16-14 advantage. Since the beginning of the Great 12 series tied at 7-7. With their 35-7 victory in 2010, Missouri won the latest game.
- In late 2006, schools signed a two-year agreement to play the game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. In 2008, the Arrowhead series was updated until 2012.
- In the 2007 edition of the game on November 24, 2007, both teams entered the game rankings in the top five countries: Kansas at # 2 and Missouri at # 3. On the heels of LSU # 1 loss the day before, Missouri won the match 36-28, with thus ending the regular season ranked # 1 in the country in both the Bowl Championship Series and the Associated Press poll. The game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, with a record of nearly 80,537 people (the second largest crowd in the history of the stadium) is in attendance. Because of the potential for the top-5 match between the two teams it seems likely that the game was flexed from day to night so it could be broadcast nationally on ABC Saturday Night Football. This show attracts the biggest TV viewers of every regular season 2007 game.
- On 26 November 2011, the final Border War was played at Arrowhead Stadium when the Missouri Tigers announced that they would move to the SEC effective July 1, 2012. Missouri won the last Border War game, 24-10.
Indian War Drum
The winners of the football match receive an informal Indian War Drawing travel trophy.
The drum drum originated in 1937 when MU's Kansas City Alumni Association in collaboration with the University of Kansas Lettermen's Association decided to present the original Indian tom-tom drumming each Thanksgiving to the winners of the Kansas-Missouri football game. The decision was finalized at Homecoming's annual lunch of M Men's Club at the Rothwell Gymnasium on November 13, 1937. The Manchester United Alumni Association of Kansas City made arrangements for the drums to be built by Osage Indians, as they represented both countries more than any other tribe. Drums remained in Missouri possession for the first few years until the trophy was briefly forgotten during the war. This tradition resumed yearly in 1947, and the circle of MU and KU of Omicron Delta Kappa serves as a drummer throughout most of its history.
When the trophy disappeared in the 1980s, the Taos of New Mexico built a new one. The original trophies were later found in the Read Hall basement of Columbia under a pile of squares and now in the College of Football Hall of Fame.
In 1999, at Kansas's push drum was replaced with a second bass drum and drums belonging to the Mizzou Alumni Association.
The athletic and alumni associations of Kansas and Missouri are on the opposite end. While in Missouri, the Alumni Association Student Council now retains the trophy. While in Kansas is now kept by the Alumni Association of Students at the Booth Family Hall of Fame there.
Lamar Hunt trophy
Starting with the 2007 game at Arrowhead, the winner also receives the Lamar Hunt Trophy, in honor of the late Chiefs owners who long envisioned bringing the Border War to Arrowhead. This should not be confused with the Lamar Hunt Trophy presented to the AFC NFL champions every year.
1960 controversy
Although 57-54-9 for United is a often-stated series result, there is a continuing dispute over whether the 1960 match should have counted as a victory for Kansas, making United lead 56-55-9. The Big 8 retroactively lost victory to Missouri because the elected Kansas Bert Coan player did not qualify after the 1960 season. The record books from the University of Kansas, and the NCAA, proclaimed the record as a victory for Kansas, sparking controversy. Several other publications have been referencing more series notes to support Kansas because of the official NCAA record record of the game and also Kansas really won the game on the field.
Going to the 1960s game, Missouri (9-0, ranked # 1 nationally) was known for their stingy defenses, to surrender 19 points to Oklahoma a week before the Battle of War game, not allowing teams to reach double digits throughout the season. They boasted three shutouts. Their offense relies heavily on wide sweep to right with speedster Norris Stevenson and Mel West at the back. It ran out of old T-formation and Single Wing combinations. The term "proper student body" is often used to describe USC sweep games in the mid to late 1960s, but the phrase was made to describe Missouri's wide sweep. Kansas (6-2, ranked # 11, with 2 losses they came to # 1 Syracuse, 14-7, and at # 1 Iowa, 21-7) made history that day by being the first team to face three teams # 1 in season the same one. Kansas has a pretty good defense of their own, handing only 9.1 points per game with two shutouts that season. Kansas is also loaded in the backfield. Even without Coan, Kansas' backfield consists of three future NFL draft picks: twice the All-American John Hadl at QB has led the Big 8 in all yardage goals as RB in the 1959 season; halfback Curtis McClinton (three times All-Big 8), and Doyle Schick in fullback.
On 19 November 1960, in front of the crowd then recorded 43,000 in Columbia, Kansas won the game against Missouri with a score of 23-7. The defense held out until their billing, which led to a goalless tie in half. Kansas had threatened twice in the first half, but had turned the ball over the drop after the Missouri defense made a formidable goal-line. Then, after advancing to Missouri 12, the Missouri defense again tightened, sacked Hadl for major losses, and Kansas missed the next FG. Missouri never threatened the offense in the first half. Kansas's defense is the hard key on that sweep. In fact, it was not until mid-3rd quarter, Missouri was even able to achieve the first drop. Even then, Missouri did not reach their first 2 downs until the fourth quarter. Kansas scored the first goal in the second half with a field goal. Then, after Missouri fumbled deep in the territory of the Tigers, Hadl hit Coan with a TD card. Near the end of the 3rd, Kansas continued the game just a sustainable drive by both teams, 69 yards on 13 plays. It's closed with 2-yard TD run by Coan. Missouri finally boarded the board with 5:24 left in the match, scoring 17-7. The Kansas touchdown end came after KU took a Missouri pass despair, and then passed for the score with less than a minute left. Coan clearly plays a role in Kansas's victory with 2 goals and 67 yards on 9 brought, but many believe it is Kansas's defense which is the deciding factor. Missouri coach Dan Devine declared "better teams win," but also called Coan a key factor in the game.
Kansas was awarded the Big 8 championship after the game. However, on December 8, 1960, Big 8 retroactively canceled the game and Big 8 Championship to Missouri because Big 8 voting Bert Coan was not eligible, with 5-3 votes.
The background for this decision is as follows. Coan had been transferred to KU in the fall of 1959 from TCU after a reported disagreement with the TCU coach trainers. At the urging of TCU, the NCAA investigated the matter and it was revealed that Coan had traveled to an all-star game in the summer of 1959, paid for by KU donor and founder of AFL, Bud Adams. On October 26, 1960, KU was placed on a 1 year NCAA trial period because the NCAA stated that KU alumni were involved in illegal recruitment practices consisting of "excessive entertainment" in Coan's recruitment. Adams denied he brought Coan into the game as a recruiter. Initially, Coan also denied irregularities in his transfer to KU, but later in a 2007 interview he admitted that he was indeed illegally recruited by Adams. No official of KU has ever been found directly involved in the ordeal. While Coan is not ruling unqualified by the NCAA, the NCAA's findings sparked Coan's feasibility question in light of the conference rules. One conference rule prohibits off-campus recruitment trips; another rule states that any athlete recruited violating the ban will not qualify. After KU is placed on the NCAA trial period, KU receives a phone call from the University of Nebraska, their next conference opponent, questioning Coan's worthiness. Allegedly Nebraska had previously received a letter from Don Faurot from Missouri about Coan. I attempted to get a decision from the conference at that time, but was told that the matter would be taken at a post-season conference meeting. KU took the position that the NCAA had mistakenly concluded that Coan was an aspiring student-athlete while traveling with Adams, and thus no violation of the conference rules. Coan did not play in a KU match against Nebraska, however, because of injury.
At a post-season conference meeting in December, allegedly at the request of Don Faurot MU, but according to the conference's response to the KU investigation in November, the Big 8 faculty committee took the issue of Bert Coan. Under the NCAA verdict that representatives of KN's athletic interests, Bud Adams, had transferred Coan from his Texas home to Chicago to watch an all-star football game, the committee governing the conference decided, by a 5-3 vote, that KU had violated the conference ban on off-campus recruitment. By the rules of the conference, every student-athlete recruited violating this ban automatically does not qualify. The committee thus took the matter of the period when Coan did not qualify. The committee initially defeated two separate moves to declare Coan unqualified for the entire 1961 season, before finally declaring he was not eligible for a period of one year starting from the date of the invention of the NCAA by a 6-2 vote. The Big 8 then ordered KU to lose two matches where Coan has played following the NCAA findings (versus Colorado and Missouri). Based on the loss, the conference championship was given to Missouri.
Regardless of Big 8's official decision on this issue, the reaction of many parties did not match the Big 8 committee in the end. When asked at the All-America Look All-America meeting on New York City's Missouri All-American, Danny LaRose said, "It will 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 for the Big Eight "to defend what is right - enforce its own rules". Also at the meeting, Colorado All-American goalkeeper Joe Romig voiced similar feelings when he said, "I do not care what the NCAA or Big Eight do We lost the game in Kansas. Nobody will change that." Meanwhile, Kansas All-American quarterback John Hadl expressed more concern about his team-mate when asked at the All-America meeting and said this, "He's a good guy, I hope that does not hit him too hard." Missouri head coach Dan Devine expressed his obvious disappointment in the process adopted by Big 8 when he said, "This is the worst thing that can happen in an inter-college athletics.I mean the fact that they play boys do not know he does not qualify It should have been determined before he played. "For his part, Big 8's executive secretary, Reaves Peters, said the case was" the toughest case to come before us in history ".
KU protested against the Big 8 conference's decision primarily on the basis that Coan was not recruited during his journey with KU booster. Despite the fact that Coan later admitted he had been recruited to KU during the trip, thus canceling KU's objection, KU continues to oppose the conference's decision in claiming the match as a victory.
In documenting the match as victory, MU is committed to the Conference. KU depends on the actual results on the field of the game as well as the listing by the NCAA, who never decided on the Conference's determination one way or another. Colorado does not count this as a victory in their record books. Kansas fans also quote the NCAA subcommittee in 1999 to defend the position of KU, where the subcommittee states, "a charred contest is not counted as a loss and that the game will still be played on the pitch." While KU claimed the MU match as a victory, they did not claim the conference championship that the conference also ordered them to lose.
In the end the loss on the field to Kansas caused Missouri to become the 1960 national champions. The final AP poll was released one week after the game (before the decision was made to force Kansas to lose) and 8-1 Minnesota Golden Gophers took Missouri's place 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 victory over the Navy at the Orange Bowl, while Minnesota finished 8-2 with losses at the Rose Bowl.
Results of football match
- The Largest KU Victory: 32 points (1930)
- Greatest MU victory: 48 points (4 times 1969, 1978, 1979, 1986)
System points
Beginning in the 2002-2003 season, the series was immortalized in a sponsored contest, in which points were awarded for the athletic contest between the two schools. Only sports where both competing schools qualify for the contest, and because Kansas has fewer teams than Missouri, some Missouri sports (such as gymnastics, swimming and male wrestling) are not counted in the Border Limit statistics. Bonus points are awarded for matches that take place in post-season competitions (Big 12 or NCAA tournaments). Between 0.5 and 3.0 points are given per game, with around 24-27 games going on per academic year. The Banner Showdown moniker is applied most openly to annual soccer and basketball games. Missouri ended the Showdown series with an 8-2 advantage.
The results of the Border Showdown are as follows:
2002-03 MU 32, KU 8.5
2003-04 KU 21,5, MU 18,5
2004-05 MU 22,5, KU 17,5
2005-06 KU 23, MU 17
2006-07 MU 25, KU 14
2007-08 MU 24, KU 15
2008-09 MU 23, KU 17
2009-10 MU 23, KU 16,5
2010-11 MU 23, KU 16
2011-12 MU 31,5, KU 8
Baseball
MU currently leads the baseball series, although the series history is disputed by two schools. My 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 guides was in 1901 (MU guides registering all 1899 seasons as "unknown"). KU's media guides list this series with United just before 195-121-2 while MU's media guides include tigers ahead of 212-123-2. In 2007, Jayhawks and Tigers added a non-conference match against each other in addition to their regular three-game Big 12 series. The non-conference game is scheduled to be played at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, home to the Kansas City Royals Baseball Major City. However, the initial meeting was canceled due to rain. The two teams met at Kauffman Stadium in 2008, with Kansas winning 3-0. At the 2009 meeting at Kauffman Stadium, Kansas again won, 7-3. In the 2010 meeting, Kansas again won, 1-0. In the 2011 meeting, Kansas won, 7-1.
Post 12 big meetings
The team have played against each other seven times since Missouri moved to the SEC, once in golf (2012 Golfweek Conference Challenge), three times in softball, once in women's soccer, and once on women's volleyball. They have played head-to-head five times, in the second half of the NCAA Division I Softball Tournament of the second half, NCAA Division I Women's Soccer College Cup I 2014, NCAA Division I Softball Tournament Los Angeles Super Regional 2015 and NCAA 2015 Division I Women's Volleyball Tournament in the second half.
Note: For games played in neutral locations, KU is listed as the home team, although this may not be the case. This is only because of a lack of information about who the official home team is.
