Honestly, I’m not interested in giving this event any more attention than it deserves, but sometimes in this job you have to write things for the historical record. So, let the record show there certainly were some dumb Missouri fans in 2013.

Perhaps you have heard that the owners of the Black & Gold Tavern in Kansas City, Mo., are planning an event tomorrow to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Quantrill’s Raid on Lawrence.

There is a bunch of blabber on the bar’s Facebook page, but I’ll just give you a sampling. The bar calls the raid not only daring but “Missouri’s most decisive road victory.”

It talks about how the raiders “sought vengeance for murders and other terrorist acts” such as the raid on Osceola and the burning of Missouri farms. And then it ties it all up in a knot that could only be understood by someone who took a logic class at the University of Missouri: “Just as KU chooses to honor the memories of murderers and thieves through the naming of its athletic teams, we will celebrate the sesquicentennial of Quantrill’s Raid.”

Does that mean they’ll chant: “We’re better murderers than you are?” Who knows?

And really, how much vengeance did the Missourians get by killing about 185 men and boys? Jim Lane led the despicable raid on Osceola, yet Quantrill and his men couldn’t figure out how to find him in a Lawrence cornfield. I guess even back then the Tigers were scared of a Cornhusker.

But before I go on, I should take my own advice and remember there’s really no reason to give this event more attention than it deserves. This is basically a bar trying to sell some extra drinks. I’m not sure it will work. The Facebook messages attached to this announcement were almost universally negative when I checked this morning.

The bar may have whiffed on this idea. But it is worth noting that one of the bar’s owners, Zach Cartwright, is a former University of Missouri lineman. He’s certainly whiffed before.
