Media loves us, knows to respect us, talks about us being awesome thread

Chris Kleinman thought he had the monkey pox, but it was just media members clinging to his privates.

Is this after we win the conference, because you know we don't stand a chance in hell of playing in the CFP?

2004 in Lawrence was a night game. I remember, because it was depressing. Also, 2010 too. The juke game. That might have been a Thursday night game tho.

[Skipper44]

Off the top of my head the 2010 game was a Thursday night and 2004 was not on TV

2004 was the last one you are right.  2010 was a Thursday night game.

Not sure of the year but it should have been the early '80s when KSU wore the alternate uniforms for the first time (mauve jerseys). That game was a Sat night under temporary lights. I believe the first "night" KSU/the other KS team was in 1947. Don't know how they pulled that off but apparently they did.

Was just reading some Olds posts on the phog about this. Sounds like some fights and boot barfin may have happened too.

While I'm as excited as the next person about our potential and bowl possibilities, I've seen on prediction already that has UT in the Sugar Bowl with KSU headed to the Cheez-it Bowl in Orlando, Fla.

Trust me, some of the media may purport to "love" us right now but, even if we win the next two but not the Championship, they wouldn't waste one minute picking UT over us, regardless of record and standing, to go to a more presitious bowl game.

It's all about the economics and unfortunately, we don't have one of the country's largest endowments and our alumni wealth and subsequent influence, pales in comparison as well.

IMO but based on previous experience, we have to win the next three games IOT even get a whiff at a New Years Six bowl game.

[KITNfury]

You're not wrong except I believe the sugar bowl is contractually obligated to take the second best record if #1 is in the playoffs.

[KSURFC8]

Won't be the first time that a contract was ignored when it was KSU vice someone with a bigger/wealthier fanbase (see 1998).

As it always is, we have to win out. Then they have absolutely no choice.

[catastrophe]

Yeah I think it’s been covered elsewhere but I don’t even think it’s debatable at this point. If KSU wins the next two it’s bound for the Sugar.

only a "guarantee" if both kstate and TCU win their last two regular season games. because if 11-1 TCU beats kstate in dr pepper, TCU probably misses cfp and goes to Sugar.

Good clarification. Yeah would need both teams to win the next two, but then I think it would be locked in.

1982.  Was on TBS. Cats warmed up in regular unis and had silver/gray jerseys handed out to them to switch into in the locker room before kick.

That schedule even by today's standards was fire. Noncons vs Arizona St and Kentucky? Bowl vs Wisky? Even throwing in the now defunct (rip) Wichita St? Amaze
