  1. Yep, Purdue led 38-0 early in the 3rd quarter. i'll make sure to Tivo the rematch.
  2. didn't purdue already play CMU this year?
  3. I agree. Nothing aganist KU fans, but Missouri was ranked higher in all the polls and the BCS than KU, and had a much higher strength of schedule. Something's seriously wrong with this picture. Mizzou shouldn't have played in the big 12 title game. Ended up screwing us over. I'd really, really, really like to know the reasoning behind picking ku over Missouri. I don't know. My reasoning is that a hopeless, sick, two running cards to a straight flush suck out. Missouri had the 26th SOS, beat two teams going to a BCS bowl. Kansas was 109th in SOS, and their best win was against Ok St. Missouri beat KU head to head, and their two losses were to 1 team. What the hell is going on here? I've already said it once, but maybe you missed it. The bowls aren't required to pick the best teams. When it comes to at-large bids, they pick wahtever eligible team they believe will bring them the most money, TV ratings, etc. For whatever reason, the OB thought KU was the better pick. It isn't fair to Mizzou; I'll be the first to admit it. They proved they're the better team. I understand that they aren't required to pick the best teams. However, it's like picking a 3rd best team in the conferece to play in a BCS bowl over a #2 team in the conferece, who will be going to the Cotton Bowl. Think of this message. Great job on finishing 2nd in the conference, but we're picking the 3rd best team. Yes, that team that you just beat a week ago. What kind of a message does that send? I doubt the Orange Bowl cares as long as their pockets get lined.
  4. I agree. Nothing aganist KU fans, but Missouri was ranked higher in all the polls and the BCS than KU, and had a much higher strength of schedule. Something's seriously wrong with this picture. Mizzou shouldn't have played in the big 12 title game. Ended up screwing us over. I'd really, really, really like to know the reasoning behind picking ku over Missouri. I've heard Mizzou didn't travel well to it's last 1 or 2 bowl games. I don't know if it's true. But if it is, that plays a part in it. But it's Kansas, how do we not favorably compare when it comes to attendance, media attention, etc.? It's not like they took Texas instead of us. Well KU has a good history of traveling, be it in our infrequent bowl games or our hoops team. As for media attention, we've probably gotten more this year, based largely on the nationwide shock we won more than 4 games. Maybe we had solid ratings when we were televised this year. I don't know. It's all speculation. For whatever reason, the OB saw us as more profitable.

  7. Because the bowls aren't required to pick the best teams. They make their decisions based on which program will bring them the most money, TV ratings, etc. For whatever reason, the OB thought KU was the better pick. It isn't fair to Mizzou; I'll be the first to admit it. They proved they're the better team. But I ain't 'pologizing.
  8. I don't like Les Miles.
  9. if by interesting you mean awesome, yes. Even when Mizzou beats us they lose.
  10. what kind of D do you guys play? Diet Oklahoma can move the ball. They just can't stop anyone.
  11. so is KU to the fiesta confirmed. Because the KU board is reporting KU to the orange.
  12. are you talking TV or radio? The radio guy on 710 AM. aww, I missed it. The FSN broadcast was terrible.
  13. are you talking TV or radio?
  14. Oh my God. Amazing.
  15. I think you know what his name is and you were just trying to be a mean meany. You should really count to ten before posting such hateful things, TT. Modzilla?
  16. KU slops its way to a victory over USC. It appears Self has said, "Until Collins comes back, we're not going to bother trying to run an offense."
  17. Hey look at this, as usual, nobody cares. reds44 doth protest too much, methinks.
  18. Forget you. I'm watching Time Bandits.
  19. fine. what channel is Timecop on?
  20. Yes, but I need to know if he later goes forward in time to save his future son from getting in trouble (with the Cubs winning the WS), and then has to go back into the past to save his friend in a Wild West setting and keep the integrity of Clint Eastwood's name! He does, my friend. He does.
  21. We're not watching Timecop. We're watching NMSU/FSU. Get your act together. Jean-Claude Van Damme takes precedence over all other matters at this moment. That and the sheer number of insane paradoxes involved in this movie which make no sense. I'll tell you how it ends. Van Damme gets his parents to kiss at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance, and he and the professor get back to the present. Now switch back to ESPN.
  22. TD NMSU!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. We're not watching Timecop. We're watching NMSU/FSU. Get your act together.
  24. that's what I've been waiting for! er, what sport? who cares? Any time those programs meet, you know it's a grudge match.
