Son, A very big event is unfolding for Missouri and Kansas.  The 2007 Thanksgiving weekend in Kansas City is unfurling a Super Bowl event.  The MU and KU football programs  are meeting at Arrowhead Stadium for bragging rights.  But this is much more than just bragging rights.  This is about very BIG money.  Ka-Ching.
