Baker Mayfield-Kansas war erupts after Jayhawks refuse to shake his hand pregame

The Jayhawks got chippy with Mayfield, too.

Oklahoma’s playing at Kansas on Saturday. The Sooners have Heisman Trophy frontrunner quarterback Baker Mayfield, and Kansas is Kansas.

At the pregame coin toss, Mayfield went to shake hands with the guys he was about to put somewhere between 300 and 600 passing yards on. They declined:

Mayfield’s response was a classic, “I’m not even mad. This is actually funny to me” kind of thing, and I respect that. There’s also this anecdote:

Later, Mayfield taunted Kansas fans, which included suggesting they stick to basketball because their football team isn’t good:

And later in the day, with OU leading:

Kansas later put this cheap shot on him:

And Oklahoma took a personal foul, perhaps in retaliation, a short time later.

In the third quarter of the game, Mayfield looked across the field, and grabbed his crotch as he looked across the field:

Mayfield’s legend has grown this year as he’s gotten into heated moments with other teams, though this one wasn’t at all his doing. He previously planted a flag in the middle of Ohio State’s field and got into a pregame ruckus at Baylor, among other little moments along the way. He’s also been the best QB in the country.

Oklahoma’s gonna win.
