golfing certainly doesn't reap the same rewards as fishin

No, I am.  I'm saying that the way we currently schedule, we've got one slot for a "marquee" non-con team, and 2 slots for other things.  Usually one of those two extra slots is a warm-up creampuff, and the other is scheduled for regional recruiting purposes and/or appeasing local alumni (games in Houston or Dallas).

The ags fit in that first bracket, so they'd be scheduled as the "marquee" game and we're all full up on those through 2032 or something like that.

I think Missouri Illinois had some good games back in the day... always felt that should have been a bigger rivalry.

Ha!  No, she works for a living.

I learned a lot about Mizzou's rival during my first connection in the St. Louis airport.  KU/Mizzou stuff everywhere.  I had no idea it was a whole big thing at all.  Then you add in the real-life history and it's legit.

Yup that's a long-lost rivalry.  We've played as a home-and-home a couple of times in the ensuing decades, which is about what I expect with the ags as well, eventually.

Beer has been brewed in Budweis (now České Budějovice, Czech Republic) since it was founded in 1245. In 1876, German-born Adolphus Busch and his friend Carl Conrad developed a "Bohemian-style" lager in the United States, inspired after a trip to Bohemia and produced it in their brewery in St. Louis, Missouri.
