Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this Kansas vs. Texas football history. It ain’t always been pretty, and it sure ain’t been easy for neither side, ya hear?
Now, I ain’t no fancy football expert or nothin’, but I’ve seen a game or two in my time. And from what I gather, these two teams been at it for a good long while. Seems like they started way back in the old days, when folks still rode horses to the games, or so I’ve heard tell.
Texas, them Longhorns, they were pretty strong early on. Winsipedia and them other fellas who keep track of such things, they say Texas was whippin’ up on Kansas pretty good in the early 1900s. By 1911, they was ahead somethin’ fierce, like 15 wins to 4, with a couple ties thrown in. But Kansas, them Jayhawks, they ain’t no pushovers, no sir.
It was a back-and-forth kinda thing for a spell there, up till about 1939. Mostly, whoever was playin’ at home got the win. That’s how it goes sometimes, ya know? Home crowd cheerin’ ya on, gives ya a little extra somethin’-somethin’. It’s like havin’ your family around to make sure you have that little bit extra to get things done, even when things get tough.
Now, Kansas, they had their glory days too. Back around the turn of the century, from 1890 to 1932, they were somethin’ special. They had four whole seasons where they didn’t lose a single game! And they won most of their games overall. That’s what I like to call a good streak, even better than my pie streak at the county fair.
- They even had an undefeated streak for the season not once or twice, but a whole four times
- They also had a high win percentage at the time, something to write home about!
But things change, don’t they? Football’s a funny game like that. One minute you’re on top, the next you’re scratchin’ your head wonderin’ what went wrong. And since them glory days, Kansas hasn’t really had it easy in football, especially against Texas.
The NCAA Football Series Records show that Texas has won most of the games overall. But that don’t mean Kansas ain’t put up a fight. They’ve had their moments, their upsets, their games where they made Texas sweat buckets. Sometimes the underdog can bite ya when ya least expect it, just like that old hound dog down the street. Sneaky little fella!
I remember hearin’ about some of them games on the radio, or readin’ about ’em in the newspaper. Folks would get all riled up, talkin’ smack about the other team, just like they do now, I reckon. Some things never change, do they?
Now, I ain’t gonna bore ya with a bunch of numbers and stats, ’cause frankly, I don’t remember ’em all that well. But I do know this: this Kansas vs. Texas football rivalry, it’s got history, it’s got passion, and it’s got a whole lotta folks who care about it. That’s something special, somethin’ you don’t see every day. It’s like a good ol’ family feud, only with helmets and shoulder pads.
And every time these two teams meet up, you can bet it’s gonna be a battle. Texas might have the edge in the overall record, but Kansas, they ain’t never gonna give up. They’re gonna fight tooth and nail, just like a cornered wildcat. That’s just the Kansas spirit, ya know? They don’t back down from nobody. Just like me, when that salesman tried to sell me that lemon of a car back in ’89. I gave him a piece of my mind, let me tell you!
Texas Longhorns Football History vs University of Kansas shows games from as far back as Nov 11, 2000, and Sep 30. Even if the records show one team having more wins, every game is a new fight and new chance for either team to prove themselves on the field. You never know what’s gonna happen on any given Saturday in the fall!
So, if you ever get a chance to watch these two teams play, don’t miss it. It might not always be the prettiest game, but it’ll be a hard-fought one, that’s for sure. And that’s what makes college football so darn interestin’, ain’t it?
And that’s pretty much all I gotta say about this here Kansas vs. Texas football history. It’s a story of ups and downs, wins and losses, and a whole lotta heart. Just like life, I reckon.
