The 2007 Missouri vs. Kansas football game was a college football game held in Kansas City, Missouri between the Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers, two Big 12 teams that have shared a long and bitter rivalry against each other. This edition of the series was especially important as it was the first time that both teams entered the game ranked in the top 5 of both the AP and Coaches' Polls and thus had national championship implications. The game saw #3-ranked Missouri defeat #2 Kansas, upon which they earned a trip to the conference championship, where they subsequently lost to the Oklahoma Sooners.

“Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it, is [in?] his love of justice.... Repeal the Missouri compromise—repeal all compromises—repeal the declaration of independence—repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man’s heart, that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.... Now I know we’re not in Kansas.”
—Noel Langley (1898–1981)
“You can’t be a Real Country unless you have A BEER and an airline—it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER.”
—Frank Zappa (1940–1993)
“He may travel who can subsist on the wild fruits and game of the most cultivated country.”
