“For crying out loud, what’s wrong with them?” asked Ann Reaney, who was dumbfounded to learn that some of her fellow Lawrencians were not planning to watch Kansas University’s showdown against Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.

Many fans have been prepping for the match for weeks, and while the city has been gearing up for the big game – even agreeing to project it onto a wall at Ninth and New Hampshire streets – others expressed a collective “meh” when asked whether they looked forward to watching the game.

“I just don’t do sports,” said Sandy Kircher, who conceded that she thought the Jayhawks’ unlikely push for the national championship was exciting. “I’m happy for them. They practice really hard.”

Haskell Indian Nations University student Jimmy Lee said neither the game nor the Jayhawks played to his loyalties.

“I don’t really go for KU,” he said. “It doesn’t really pertain to me. I don’t really get into football.”

The undefeated Jayhawks meet the Tigers on the field at 7 p.m. Saturday. The game will be televised on ABC.

“I’ll be out of town, nowhere near a television,” said Mike Readinger, whose family obligations will keep him from watching the game. On Saturday, he’ll be on a tractor at his father-in-law’s home in Independence, Kan.

“He feeds me Thanksgiving dinner, and I help him with chores,” Readinger said.
