As a lifelong hogfan, but more importantly a sports fan, I keep track of all major programs, conferences, etc. We're all excited about the matchup and I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we both deserved to be in BCS bowls this year. Not only because of BCS rankings and records, but both teams lost to Top 10 teams from their conference. With stellar QB's and receivers, this will be the marquee non-BCS bowl of the year. It'll have lots of scoring and even for the average fan will be a great game to watch. LHC Bill Snyder is a legendary coach, and props to him.
I have to say I'm confused by some of the smack talk. I understand some friendly banter, even a little hate, but I don't recall ever seeing so much misinformation.
Georgia Tech is not in our conference
Houston Nutt is no longer our coach
...and as for the lame hillbilly stereotypes, it's obvious that the people making those statements have never visited our beautiful state. I believe we are the epitomy of Southern Hospitality. It's good to see fans passionate about your program, but let's try to be realistic instead of acting like you're being punished or slumming by "having" to play us. Show some class, because I know most Kansans do.
