The term "Sunflower Showdown" needs to be put to rest.
1. It is not inclusive of the 3rd D1 team in the state
2. This "rivalry" between KU and ksu has been a joke for the past 20-25 years with WSU owning a higher winning percentage than KSU against KU.
I'm not for Gov't mandates requiring the 3 to play, but clearly the press should stop calling this the "Sunflower Showdown" until it starts to include the Shockers.
Otherwise they can call it:
-- Big Brother Little Brother Showdown
-- Northern Kansas Showdown
-- Big XII Teams from Kansas Showdown
-- Lopsided Showdown
-- KU vs KSU Showdown
-- Usually Boring Showdown
-- KU vs "Coat-tail hanger on" Showdown
-- ex-Illinois Coaches Showdown
-- The 85 Mile showdown
-- The Cattle / Wheat Road Showdown
-- The KU vs Who Gives a Ratz A$$ Showdown
-- The 183-91 Showdown
But.... NOT the Sunflower Showdown.
