The University of Missouri (Mizzou) is widely credited with holding the first homecoming game in 1911. The event was organized by Athletic Director Chester Brewer to invite alumni back for the annual football game against rival Kansas, featuring a parade, pep rally, and bonfire, culminating in a successful gathering of over 9,000 people.
The University of Kansas (KU) and the University of Missouri (MU) have a fierce sports rivalry known as the "Border War," which is deeply rooted in the violent Bleeding Kansas period and the Civil War era, with their respective mascots, the Jayhawks and the Tigers, stemming from pro-Union and pro-Confederate factions. The rivalry officially began with a football game in 1891

Not the case with the Missouri Tigers: their basis - the Columbia Tigers - were a Union-affiliated militia whose job was to prevent Quantrill's Raiders (and essentially, the Jayhawkers from Kansas, both sides of whom raped, pillaged, and sacked numerous towns in Missouri and Kansas indiscriminately, basically things that would've been war crimes on both sides, had the Geneva Convention been in place) from doing the same to Columbia. The Missouri Tigers took their name from that militia.
Proof Positive
It is a brutal, brutal rivalry between the states, tracing its roots all the way back to Bleeding Kansas in the 1850s.

No. We could lose by a hundred every game for my entire lifetime, and I'd never sing that song.
I had to look to see when or if they would play again , or if this was a one time deal or not ,looks like it's the first of a 4 game agreement
but.............
with these major Conference expanding , and expected to expand some more , I wouldn't count on anything
I know Kansas and Utah have both been mention when it comes to Big Ten expansion , by the time 2031 comes around , Kansas might not even be in the Big 12 anymore
although , when it comes to the Big Ten expansion , several teams have been mentioned
with these major Conferences growing larger , just how many non conference games will schools schedule against major computation

This Article Made Me Laugh My Ass Off. F - KU, Indeed.
To explain more, a Mizzou fan passed up a chance at kicking a field goal for 25k to kick it at the KU sideline and pulled his shirt up to reveal "F KU" painted on his chest.
I hope this rivalry never ends.

Ahmad Hardy. What more can I say about him? Leading the SEC in rushing, all while he has Jamal Roberts (another talented sophomore back) behind him taking touches. I saw several plays in that South Carolina game that made me just drop my jaw, especially the touchdown run.
Also? Beau Pribula has helped a ton. I knew he was great with his legs. I did not expect him to have the arm he does.
