After a long 11 years, fans on either side of the Missouri-Kansas border will be able to see the Kansas Jayhawks take on the Missouri Tigers.
The hype around this fixture has been building all week. On Monday, Kansas head coach spoke at length about the matchup but provided one funny quip from former Kansas running back Devin Neal.
“Devin did ask if he could come back and play this game. He said it to me, walking off the field Friday night, he goes, ‘I'll even come back as a walk-on.’ So, I appreciated that.”
I’m sure Neal is a part of a corps of Kansas alumni who would have been itching to play against Missouri in a matchup that holds massive weight.
