This is for a=holes that don't know how to read: 2008 Orange Bowl - WikipediaKansas' victory in the 2008 Orange Bowl had far-reaching effects for both Virginia Tech and Kansas as well as college football teams around the country. The victory allowed Kansas to finish its 2007 season with a final record of 12–1, while the loss brought Virginia Tech to a final record of 11–3.
When they were in the Big XII, they constantly complained about their bowl placement. Especially in '08 when KU got the Orange Bowl.
What kind of feeble low self esteem mind even conjures up that stuff? The worst kind of conference mate is the one that flounders around like a dying carp on the bottom of the boat. . . In the only sport that truly matters financially and in the conference realignment game. Thus bringing down the collective prestige of the conference. It was literally over a decade of people looking at the B12 and seeing a homecoming game for everybody in the form of Kansas Football.

KU was assigned the Orange Bowl in early December, 2007. I'm pretty sure the bulk of complaining from MU fans was during that month. Like, they wouldn't have waited a whole month to start complaining. But I'm an bad person who doesn't know how to read?

It's kind of shitty that a team can run the table in conference and then lose the title game and the team with two conference loses gets named "Conference Champ".
K-State is the single luckiest team you will ever watch play football.
They won the equivalent of a basketball post-season tournament.TCU won the Big 12.
My problem is that the winner of the championship game is declared the Big 12 Champion. In this year's case, TCU is clearly the champion by going undefeated and it's a joke to declare otherwise.
Well we did that for several years with no championship game. Then got left out a few times, so the BigXII reintroduced and everyone was happy. Until this year. Now listening to you guys, it's stupid. Maybe the phog should decide which year we do or do not have a CCG.
There is absolutely no fairness in making an undefeated league champion play a one game playoff against a team it has already beaten and finished two games ahead of.
There is no championship game needed. You don’t get it. Imagine KU goes 16-2 but before being crowned conf champ, has to play #2 (who they already beat) AGAINIt is the stupidest ******** thing I’ve ever seen.

I want Bama to play KSU and club them like a baby seal. Sorry KSUUUUUU wildcats!
What K-State has going on in Manhattan is more fragile than it looks. Recruiting there will always be hard due to location. A lot of their talent from the KC area literally has to drive by KU to get there! All Leipold has to do is beat Klieman one time.. just ONCE, and I think you will start to see things shift quickly.It's no accident that KU and K-State have never been good at the same time. When they are good, we suck. When they hired Ron Prince and started sucking, we got good. Its the nature of a low population state IMO. Guys like Jake Sharp etc. matter. Anyway, I think Leipold beats him in Lawrence next year. We just return too much to not be good. Don't see Portal hurting us either. Too much energy and momentum here.
Well, trying to be rational about taters winning today, butFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why Texas deserved to play Texas Christian and why the officiating ultimately impacted our game against the Taters.
What's more ridiculous is that if TCU doesn't get in, they don't even get the top bowl game for the conference. Three loss K-State goes to the Sugar Bowl. ***** this damn conference championship game.
The most asinine thing is that the Big 12 recognizes the winner of the conference championship game as the official league champion. TCU won't even get a trophy for going undefeated in the regular season.
**** K-State. Inbred mother ********.
Let’s be clear, TCU lost that game in OT. KSU did not win it.

the constant vitriol over misunderstandings of how football and the Big 12 works leads me to believe the stereotype. Most of these people never followed football before September 2022.

Lose the bowl game and they're right back to high volume losing.But I do agree, maybe some day KU fans will enjoy the sweet nectar of winning a Dr. Pepper in Football. To paraphrase the Ol Ball Coach, a conference title isn't heavily influenced by a popularity contest.
Do the squawks have a DU chapter?
