Factor out Chiraq and you have a wonderful State.
Ol’ Norm Stewart with the Mizzou Tigers Basketball team had the right mindset to impart to his team when he visited my Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kansas.
He would drive from Columbia, Missouri with the team and instead of going all the way to Lawrence, Kansas he would stop 60 miles short and stay in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The next day the team bus would have refueled with Missouri taxed gasoline and everyone knew that they ave better already have bought snacks, drinks and water because one they crossed into Jayhawk Kansas they would not by a thing or stop in Kansas for any reason. They would continues straight to the KU campus and Allen Fieldhouse and exit the bus to the visiting team locker room. Not a dime spent in the enemy state.
