Just hate to see when people don't understand how bowl games operate.
It's understandable though. Tough to understand something you never experience.
Some people reading this may think you're bbs'ing, but let's do a little math here. KU last played in a bowl game on December 31, 2008 in the Insight Bowl (aka Copper/BWW/Cactus/Cheeze-Its Bowl) located in Tempe, AZ. This occurred over 4000 days ago (nope, not a typo). For all you Cats fans, two weeks from now you'll be saying "That was over 9 bowl games ago!" Woof
If we assume that everyone Miles and company is trying to recruit is a senior in high school, then that means that they were 6 or 7 years old when KU last went bowling.
Now, I have next to no memories of what was going on when I was 6 or 7 years old. Rewind the clock back a little to when I was a senior in high school, and I still don't have much of a memory of what was going on when I was 6 or 7 years old. What about those currently in Lawrence? The seniors that will be graduating in May will have barely been in middle school. Okay, so we're getting a little better as far as memories go, but still no real emotional connection to the program.
I'll spare you guys from dragging this out, and say that the people that actually do remember the mediocre amount of success they had, and that may be able to help the program out, actually can't right now because Karl was tired of their '08 Avalon and decided to go get a 2020 GMC Denali (already with 15k miles) financed for 120 months at 18% interest thanks to the Christmas special deal that Crimson and Blue Used Motors was having. They're located right across the street from the Kubota dealership, and a half block east of Sonic (true story). That, on top of Karla's Christmas spending spree and their ESPN+ package, and there just isn't anything left to give to KU football. After all, they have to start saving to get those upper deck seats at the Sprint Center in March.
