Agreed. They don't ignore the Super Bowl when they don't have broadcast rights. Local DFW news loves us, though.

We did get to see the LSU busses on their way though. That was fascinating and intriguing.

Is there any chance we get better ratings than the national championship? Our game is on network tv and the championship is a rematch on ESPN.

So pissed last night. Got the latest issue of Sports Illustrated and not one efffing mention of the cotton bowl. Thinking about canceling subscription.

Maybe if we were playing a better team?

Quote from: The UBBEN

Since picking the Wildcats to lose by 14 to Baylor all the way back on Oct. 1, I've picked every Kansas State game correctly, including correctly picking them to win as an underdog four times. Let's make it five.

Fuktard · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2012, 11:11:26 AM »

it's almost comical....like the game isn't even taking place. No problem if it's some crap bowl with crap teams, but this bowl does have 2 top 10 teams playing. it's like they're mad

Fuktard · « **Reply #15 on:** January 06, 2012, 11:29:02 AM »

ESPN clearly doesn't read their own previews:

WHY TO WATCH: Let me count the ways. Two top 10 teams, and arguably the second or third-best matchup of all the bowl games. It's the only matchup between the Big 12 and the SEC. It's two very different styles. How many more reasons do you need? This will be a fun one. Kansas State is a touchdown underdog, but the Wildcats were already an underdog in eight games this season. Of those eight games, it won six and finished 10-2. This is nothing new for Kansas State.

Which is ironic considering the tucks despise Ubben. On second thought, that's not ironic at all...it's commonplace.

If Arky wins ESPN will have highlights to continue bending over for the SEC. When the wild wildcats win ESPN will have a segment on how Saban likes to cook his eggs in the morning.

ESPN is under-reporting this game because FOX is carrying it, not because we're there.

It's the goddamn Super Bowl. They can't get away with under-reporting it. They can with the Cotton Bowl.

Ubbs picked against us in his bowl preview. switcharoo.

Well considering how many 'tards are posting in this thread (not OP) I figured I had to point this out.

They better write something next issue otherwise I am done.
