"JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. • A state appeals court says a Missouri man who roots for the University of Kansas Jayhawks may keep his personalized license plate expressing disdain for the University of Missouri Tigers.

The Administrative Hearing Commission last year rejected an effort by Missouri's Revenue Department to recall Toby Gettler's plate, which reads "MZU SUX." The Revenue Department had issued the plate, but tried to recall it on the ground that "SUX" is obscene.

Gettler presented evidence, including a dictionary definition, that the word has gained common usage as slang for "subpar or inadequate."

1. so the idiot got it.

It was a dumb fight but his to make, if that's what he wanted. The rivalry will die out over time, considering they aren't even allowed to play each other. (Just once a year in KC, one basketball game with proceeds for charity: it would keep an old rivalry going and could make millions for a local group!)

2. Hope the plate is worth the harassment

Hope the car is always parked in a garage, it will be a target for "careless" drivers. Some people are real tough to take on so much unnecessary hate
