belated


So if you've been following college football or the Jayhawks much.. you probably know the outcome of the KU vs. Mizzou game from last week. Missouri pretty much man-handled KU the first half. I spent this time combing the stands at Arrowhead Stadium, shooting feature pictures.. dejection pictures.. jubilation pictures.. to send back on deadline..

But those pictures pretty much fell through the cracks as the second half warmed up.

The crowd at Arrowhead was split 50-50. Right down the 50 yard line.. on one side, black-clad Mizzou fans threw chants from the stands at their rivals.. the blue-clad Jayhawkers... booming back from the opposing side of the field.

It was thunderous.

Eighty-thousand fans booing, jeering.. and bemoaning...

It was a blow to the Jayhawks.. their untainted 11-0 record, a first ever in school history was no longer unblemished... by none other than Missouri. That dream season brought crashing down by the most hated of hated in KU land. Mizzou.
