Views from around the Sports Nation on KU getting Orange Bowl over MU. - Page 3

MarcBulger · 12-04-2007, 03:25 PM

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

Of course you haven't. You did once. And you lost.

Because you guys can't beat good football teams.

SOS = 109. Amazing.

What was OU's SOS when you played them on Saturday? 92?

We're kind of like OU. We lose to the dregs but go to big bowls.

OU has a win over a top 40 team. You are nothing like OU.

Wow you were handed it on a silver platter....KU didn't earn shit and they know it, prove it by winning against VT, they get creamed then what will you say?

You never beat MU or a top 40 team, period.

Act as if KU earned the orange bowl, give me a break.

11-1, that is all. They don't want two loss teams in their games. That's for bowls like the Cotton.

If your AD did what KK is claiming and it can be proven (I hope not) you may not be going to ANY bowl games.

KK is a hack and always has been.

And the Fiesta. But, you don't hear anyone to the east bitching about that.

Can we stop whining about what we have absolutely ZERO control over. Instead of posting all this crap here take it to the BCS and do something constructive with it.

MU got screwed. Go do something about it.

Until there is a playoff this will happen to somebody every single stinking year.

Bitching about it here is accomplishing nothing.

Jesus ..... all i know is that the MUrons better stop yelling about how other fans are whiney.
