Let’s just ignore the previous 10 years of rock bottom suck. Or the fact that your monumental .500 season ended with you losing 6 of 7, mostly in blowout fashion.
Agreed on the KU basketball part. It’s why I’m genuinely shocked you all are only a 3.5 point favorite today. You would think the defending National Champs with your history and tradition would get more love from Vegas. Guess Vegas doesn’t like you guys for some reason.
And as far as your bought and paid for Orange Bowl, this has been discussed ad naseum on here. Mizzou was the better team on the field that year (as proven in the head to head matchup) and finished higher in the final rankings than Kansas despite your ‘best win ever’. It’s not Mizzou’s fault your slimy AD (Lew Perkins) arranged a back door deal to get you into that bowl over Mizzou. It is what it is.

Meh….Perkins just made up for his blunder of allowing the home game to be played at Arrowhead, making it essentially a Missouri home game. If that game were played in Lawrence, it’s a W. Regardless, that doesn’t explain why Missouri’s failed to win a major bowl in every other season.
I never said or implied that KU has “arrived,” so I’m not sure what you’re going on about. I predicted that they’ll be better than Missouri is currently. Again…not a high bar. You’re a program that will be perennially picked near the bottom of the conference. KU has a better coach, an uptick in recruiting, and facility upgrades coming.
And who cares about Vegas lines in an early season CBB game. They’re as clueless about Missouri’s true ability as anyone. They’ve played nobody but they’re undefeated, plus they’ll be energized and playing at home in front of a hostile crowd. So Vegas gave them some respect but not too much respect. It’s not like this is a vintage KU team anyway. At least not yet. But a lot of people are saying it’s easy money. We’ll see.
