And I absolutely believe that behind-the-scenes shenanigans were involved. Will it ever come out in the open? Of course not. But Kansas was effectively eliminated from BCS contention the minute Reesing's face was driven into the turf in the Arrowhead endzone, and everybody knows it. Yet there KU is. No reason or excuse has a shred of believability. Something shady happened. It is what it is. Corrupt. Dirty. I could not in good conscience be a part of it.

Again folks,Personally, I wish KU had been in the Cotton Bowl, I personally think it is a better chance to recruit some more Texas talent.

But that is just me........

As far as the crap on this board the past few days, it goes both ways. Saying that Kansas deserved the spot over Mizzou is just as ridiculous as saying Kansas sucks because they didn't beat Illinois or Mizzou. Saying that Mizzou didn't get cheated is just as ridiculous as saying Mizzou is vastly superior because of an 8 point victory.

Kansas' roll through the Big 12 North deserves a BCS bid just as much as Hawaii's roll through the WAC or OSU's roll through the Big 10. They just don't deserve a bid over Mizzou.

Yet, in all of this 'Mizzou got screwed' talk, half the argument seems to be that Kansas doesn't deserve to be in the corporate.com bowl, and I know if the tables were turned, you wouldn't stand for that type of disrespect ;)

Lee Corso - "Did Missouri beat Kansas? Did they beat Illinois? Where are they going?...Something's wrong with the system."

Kirk Herbstreit - "The Orange Bowl committee should be asked a question. Why Kansas over Missouri? They beat Kansas, were 11-1 in their last game and lost to what many say is the best team in the country."

Ivan Maisel - "The Orange Bowl chose Kansas and its 11-1 record over 11-2 Missouri despite the Tigers' defeat of the Jayhawks a week ago. Kansas, like Ohio State, benefited by not playing on Saturday, when Missouri lost to Oklahoma, 38-17."

Rivals.com poll - "The Tigers were left out of the BCS despite beating Kansas head-to-head for the Big 12 North title. Kansas, meanwhile, is going to the Orange Bowl." They're currently leading by a huge margin. http://collegefootball.rivals.com/copoll.asp?poll=69

Blair Kerkhoff - "In other words, Missouri would have profited from declining a spot in the Big 12 title game. Kansas, like Ohio State, gained by not extending its season, and that’s a serious flaw in the process. Risks should be rewarded, not penalized."

Personally, I'd say it sucked, and beyond that, keep quiet.

If somebody handed you the greatest gift you'd ever been given, and later you found out that they stole it from somebody else, would you be proud to display it?

As for the tables getting turned, as a fan of the Chiefs, Cardinals and Tigers, I've always been on the "screwee" side, not the "screwer," so I wouldn't know it feels. I can only conclude that a moral upbringing would preclude me from enjoying it.

Honestly, though, I'd rather be in my position than yours. Sure we've been slighted on a grand scale, and it sucks, but everybody knows it, and my pride in my team and sense of honor is intact.
