WTF Happened to the Orange Bowl?

[Rage Against the McKee]

Here's a hint, fellas:  the more you talk about KU's 2008 Orange Bowl, the more apparent it is that long-term psychological damage has been inflicted on your collective psyche.  I love every minute of it.  Please continue.


    

You're the only one who keeps bringing up KU.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

its kinda nice hearing a few tuck beakers defend there pile of crap football program, its a change from hearing them pretend like they don't give a crap because" ITS BASKETBALL SEASON"!

Credit where credit is due.  Their magical run in 07 did include wins over the top 3 teams in the south (OU, UT and Tech).  At least I think.  Someone told me that their opponents combined record that year was 76-88.  That can't be right.  Ours thus far this year is 74-54.  Something seems weird here.

That's what I thought, too, but it looks like KU actually played OSU, aTm, and Baylor in 2007, which were the top 3 teams in the south that year.

1.  Nobody remembers it?  Then why is it mentioned damn near every day on this piece of sh*t board?

Why? because our (not-so-)friendly neighborhood beaker seems to mention it at least once a day. Why do you ask?  

Man! Wouldn't it be cool to go to the Sugar Bowl this year? That's one we've never been to.

Three out of the last four teams to play in the Fiesta Bowl are UConn, Boise State, and TCU.

Texas lost at Texas A&M (where KU won) and at home to K-State (who KU beat in Manhattan) that year and finished with three losses.  Oklahoma lost at Colorado (where KU won), finished with three losses, and got blown out by West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl.  Texas Tech lost at Oklahoma State (where KU won) and at home to Colorado (who KU beat in Boulder) and finished with four losses. 


Please keep them coming.

The transitive property is fun

Seriously?  Damn.  Fiesta Bowl getting some great teams and coaches out there with Boise and TCU.

KU's Orange Bowl season was incredible.  KU was an awesome, fun team to watch that year.  I hated it at the time, but, looking back, it was a phenomenal season.

I bet Oregonhawk had the time of his life.

Perhaps he was one of the 12 or so Jayhawk fans to actually attend the game in Manhattan that year. Ahhhh, what a fanbase.......

I actually miss the fat man.

He was responsible for two turnarounds at one University. One up and one down.

[EMAW4life-JHL]

Yet even wtih that nice transitive score property, you would of went 1-2 against OU, UT, and TTU.
your best win that year was Texas AM, and Oklahoma State who went 7-6 both. after that it was colorado with a record of 6-7.
while you were able to beat schools who beate OU, TAMU and TTU, its proven that upsets happen. UT and OU no doubt would have stomped you that year.
Best yeaer ever and you cant even win the division.

KU's schedule that year was comparable to a Conference USA team. Really no way to argue against that. The Big 12 was awful that year.

I'm sure beems is just trolling again (right?) but by using Beems' transitive property, K-State beat Colorado who beat Oklahoma who beat Mizzou who beat Arkansas who beat LSU, the eventual national champions.

Thus, K-State can claim a national title for the 2007-2008 football season

I bet Oregonhawk had the time of his life.

Yes. Remember when their fans transitioned from "we might be good enough to beat K-State" to "omg our helmet is on the gameday final backdrop" into "eff everyone bring on Bama! Bring on LSU!"

Just gave you goosebumps to watch them begin to believe.

Definitely the isu of bowl games

Decent every now and then? I fail to see your logic
