WTF Happened to the Orange Bowl?

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Does anyone else remember when this bowl was relevant?  Like Tommy Frazier v. the U relevant?

I mean, my god, look at the last 5 matchups in this bowl game.  The only team that's remotely relevant is VaTech and they've been meh since Michael Vick took his services to the NFL.  Other than that, JFC what an embarrassment.  Not one of those teams would win 7 games in the Big XII or SEC this season.

January 2, 2007    Louisville    v.    Wake Forest    
January 3, 2008    Kansas    v.    Virginia Tech    
January 1, 2009    Virginia Tech    v.    Cincinnati    
January 5, 2010    Iowa    v.    Georgia Tech    
January 3, 2011    Stanford    v.    Virginia Tech    

The game is played in the middle of a neighborhood, in the middle of a swamp, the nearest bar is a Circle K, it's in rough ridin' Miami where football is a less popular than Hialiah and polo and the stadium is a trash heap.


Please tell me there is no situation in which we can somehow back into this bowl.  Praying for the Cotton.

VaTech fans must be begging for a different bowl.  Wouldn't be surprised at all if they forfeited the ACC championship game just so they could go to a decent bowl, like the Gaylord Hotels Bowl or the Chic-fil-a Peach.

I just remember back when Miami, Florida, and Florida State were all in separate conferences that were easily won and some midwestern school would win their harder conference and their reward? playing a florida school in the orange bowl!!!!!

Virginia Tech is a national powerhouse and is back in the top five again this year.  Lots of sour grapes in this thread.

No more overrated than Oklahoma, or anyone in the Big 12 for that matter.

K-State has never won a national title in anything and plays in a depleted Big 12.  You were saying?

I was saying how shitty the Orange Bowl is and how irrelevant all the teams that play in it are.

Fact:  The Orange Bowl is an abortion

Fiction:  VaTech is a national powerhouse

BMWism:  K-State plays in a depleted Big 12

There are very few things the Orange Bowl is "bigger" than, unfortunately for you as you exist in this thread, ku is one of them.  :sad:

[OregonSmock]

The Sugar Bowl is in a worse stadium than the Orange Bowl, and I don't remember too many good games from that bowl recently, either.  Incredibly enough, you guys are still butthurt about the fact that KU won a BCS Bowl in 2008.  I love it.

I would respond to this but I know you're just trolling and don't actually believe any of it.
