the number of people who care about KSU's bowl losses is roughly equivalent to the number of people who care about KU's orange bowl win. all of the KU/KSU football fans and no one else. who wins/loses bowl games means very little outside of the mnc, the key is to get there, get your name on television ads, get the extra practice time and the payout for your conference. the game itself is relatively meaningless on a national scale.
