• Miserable ending: MU’s 11-0 end run dooms Jayhawks - 02/05/2012
  Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self walked dejectedly down a Mizzou Arena hallway late Saturday night, his path crossing that of former NBA 7-footer Will Perdue. “Will, Will, Will ... we had that game where we wanted it,” Self said, as ESPN Radio color analyst Perdue nodded his head solemnly in agreement.

• Ryan Robertson: ‘I will miss the rivalry’ - 02/04/2012
  Let me start by saying I’m a “Big Eight Guy.” I was born in Oklahoma and cheered for the Billy Tubbs’ Sooners. I went to OSU football games and watched Barry Sanders live. My parents met at K-State, where my dad played football. I went to high school and live in Missouri. And, obviously, I played basketball at Kansas.
• C.B. McGrath: Mizzou memories not all pleasant - 02/04/2012
  KU versus Mizzou. Where do I begin? I don’t know if I will be politically correct with this topic even though I have been away from the rivalry for almost nine years. I have a ton of memories from pretty much every perspective.
