Since you guys only beat us by a TD last year, what does that make you....7th graders?

OK, stop. One of the committee members for the Orange Bowl was quoted as saying that the Orange Bowl wanted teams with no more than one loss. When pressed, the guy would not comment on whether the thought KU was the team to take over Missouri, or if they deserved to be there, just that they wanted teams with just one loss. Your AD didn't play any game or have dick to do with getting the Orange Bowl. Kansas pulled an Ohio State and benefitted by not having to play in the conference championship game, period.

All I know is that it makes Mizzou better than Kansas in 2007.

Yeah, but you were the home team.

Anyway, this thread wasn't about the past. So

Yes, we did beat you, didn't we?

I'm glad you haven't forgotten.

Sure, that's what they said. Kind of a pretty lame and illogical explanation, though, don't you think?

I'm not denying that, but again, it has nothing to do with what I wrote.

Absolutely. It makes no sense to take a team from a conference that can't even make it's own championship game and put them in a BCS game. I'm assuming they thought they were getting a "better" team just because they had one loss. Like I said - KU pulled an Ohio State.

**TrebMaxx** · 10-05-2008, 05:44 PM

Coaches Poll MU 2 > KU 15
AP Poll MU 3 > KU 16

MU SOS 4 > KU SOS 64

That is all.

Unlike you, I don't believe everything I hear. It's naive to believe there weren't any backroom politics. That's the way these bowls work.

I find it amazing that you are now defending KU's invite to the Orange Bowl was due to backroom politics and not based on how they played. Really, I think you should give up and take a break.

This isn't secondhand stuff I'm telling you. It came directly from the mouth of one of the Ornage Bowl committee members. They wanted a team with one loss. That is why Missouri didn't play for the Orange Bowl.

That should be all. I have no clue why we're arguing with someone who's only argument is that they made it to the Orange Bowl last year. WTF does that have to do with this year?

This thread is very close to my first 100 post thread! Oh so close, lets keep it up!

Edit: Didn't realize it made it already! We can stop now!
