Perhaps the Orange Bowl wanted us as their choice, but took Kansas as the back-up choice. Perhaps Pinkel & Alden wanted to play in Dallas, Texas where we've got a serious recruiting pipeline underway, where we can easily get lot of our fans to, where lots of our current recruits and their families can see us play, where Chase Daniel will get incredible local publicity as a hometown hero, where we get to play a name opponent that we most likely can handle, and where we can still play on New Year's day as the first game out of the gate. Other than the Orange Bowl having a bit more prestige as a BCS bowl, we will get more mileage out of the Cotton Bowl. That's why I pose the possibility that the Cotton is what Pinkel wanted.

Interesting, and it would make a lot of sense, if true.

What? I wish the Rose Bowl had taken KU I WISH, it would have been a rape of brutal proportion.....

I'm sorry KU is not on the level of SC or Florida or any of those teams...

And you'd trade your class for ours in a heartbeat.

I didn't say I wouldn't, I'm just wondering why you're so nervous about the whole thing, like you're on the USC staff or something. I don't go to other school's boards comparing basketball recruits, telling them their program sucks and will never be on the elite level of KU, but for some reason, you feel the need to do so. I don't care if we're not "on the level" of those schools. This was supposed to be an 8-4 season at best, I'm thrilled where we are. I wish KU would have gotten to play USC as well. Hell, I probably would've gone to the game. By the way, I saw how you "brutally raped" big bad UCLA as well. You are all that (whatever that means by proxy of the team you chose to root for), I bow to your superior football-ness. The only thing I know right now, is that in the sport we actually did get to go head to head, beat you at your place.
