It’s not a rivalry, it’s a war

There’s something about rivalries in sports. Whether it’s the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies, or the Taylor Ducks and Rockdale Tigers, a rivalry can bring out the best — or worst — in people.

There’s one “rivalry” where both sides insist that it’s a war instead of a rivalry — the one simmering between two universities in border states Kansas and Missouri.

For the first time since 2011, the teams will “go to war” at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Columbia, Missouri.
