Kansas v Missouri History Lesson

For all of our out-of-town readers, here is a sign that was unfurled for the first time in last weekend’s Kansas versus Missouri basketball game.  That’s John Brown in a classic remake (sort of) of “Tragic Prelude” which is in our state’s capitol building.   There are a few variances.  For instance, that’s still John Brown leading Bleeding Kansas against Missouri.  And that’s still a gun in his right hand.  But in his left hand the Bible has been replaced by Kansas’ 2008 National Championship trophy.  LOL.
