A few things:
1. MU beat OU in football this year. How many posts did I make about that? I really don't care.
2. Most MU fans are football first. I'd say the state as a whole is probably more of a baseball state than anything (Cardinals...). I hate it, as baseball couldn't mean less to me, but it's the truth. After that, it's definitely football. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand the state or our fan base.
3. OU's "superiority" in basketball is minuscule, at best. Your edge lies with two final four appearances to our none. As far as conference titles, conference tournament titles, NCAA tournament appearances, sweet 16s and elite 8s, MU and OU are pretty much the same program going back through several decades.
