Views from around the Sports Nation on KU getting Orange Bowl over MU.
 

Mike and Mike in the morning - "Both are saying that uk's selection over Mizzou going to the Orange Bowl is purely a joke.

Associated Press - "Never mind that both of Missouri's losses were to Oklahoma, that the Tigers were two slots ahead of Kansas in the final BCS standings and beat the Jayhawks head-to-head on Nov. 24 to doom Kansas' national-title hopes."

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."




MY Fav:

"You can put the Orange Bowl with Kansas on Comedy Central, because it is a joke for them to be there." -- Pat Forde on ESPN this morning

WAH WAH WAH...THE WAHMBULANCE IS COMING!!

the whole BCS system is a joke. I'm happy that we're in the Orange Bowl still...but ya know

I don't blame KU, it is not there fault. Funny I heard that wahmbulance sound coming from the KU crown in Arrowhead.

ROFL

They had to pass Arrowhead to get to Columbia.

Of course Forde is going to say this. He friggin' went to Missouri.

It's a simple issue to understand...

Lew Perkins > Mike Alden

And that's all there is to it.

Yep.

KK on 810 is reporting that KU guarenteed to sell so many tickets and he quoted a rule from the BCS that made it illegal. He interviewed the Orange Bowl guy but he denied it. I didnt get to hear the whole thing. Did anyone else hear it?

Eggs-actly. Alden is a buffoon.

Can people cry a little louder?

They act like it was the fault of the players and fans, that KU is there and not MU...

Whiney ass cry babies.. Hell as a KU fan I was expecting the Cotton or Holiday bowl... The BCS Orange bowl is just icing on the cake.

People actually listen to KK on 810?

Stupidity never ceases to amaze me!

KU needs to win this game to prove everyone wrong, lets see if the mangino's are up to the task, if not there will be alot of uproar, and of course the tigers must beat arkansas and the mcfaddens

Getting there is one thing, winning that game would be icing for KU after losing to Mizzou and being told by everyone they don't deserve it.
