This week’s Kansas-Oklahoma football game doesn’t appear that it will have many fascinating story lines, but one will be this:
Does the bad blood linger from last year?
Remember, KU captains and current players Joe Dineen, Daniel Wise and Jeremiah Booker all refused to shake Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield’s hand during the coin toss before last season’s game in Lawrence. It was the start of a game-long tiff, as Mayfield received a couple late hits before later making a lewd gesture toward the KU sideline following a third-quarter touchdown pass.
Oklahoma won, 41-3, with Dineen later saying the pregame decision was made to help fire up the Jayhawks.
