Questions, 785-864-4962 or [email protected] From the KU athletics website--the term "Jayhawkers" was used as early as 1849 by a group of pioneers crossing what is now Nebraska who called themselves the "Jayhawkers of 1849", apparently naming themselves after two kinds of birds which frequented the prairie. No one seems to know if the term was used prior to this. The party went on to discover what became known as "Death Valley" in California. Though it never seems to make much news in the Topeka area, the KU-MU Border Showdown was won in 2005- 2006 by....KU with a score of 23-17.
