Evening gents. Well, fearing a jinx, I have made no mention of my Kansas Jayhawks trip to the Orange Bowl tonight. I knew they were completely capable of not only staying with Virginia Tech, but outright "winning" it. They did just that. No fumblerooskie plays, no bad calls on a late game pass pattern, none of it. Just a team that came out 17-0 and put it on ice with some fourth quarter rushing that came not a minute too soon. Final 24-21.
For one full month I have endured sports talk radio callers popping off about Kansas' weak schedule, haven't played anyone, a fraud, etc. "Just wait till your 'Hawks play a real team like Tech." We did, we won, no Mickey Mouse, no apologies. Kansas University FOOTBALL is 12-1 this year. Football at Kansas. Can you believe that? We've been waiting 40 years for a return trip to the Orange Bowl. The last time was the dreaded "12th man" game. Look up history. A devastating loss for Kansas that year. Ever since it had been toilet bowl teams. Not this year. You could smell it from the first game of the season. I'll tell you, I am just floating right now. This is a good day to be a Jayhawk. A football team that will wind up in the top five at years end poll and a basketball team that is in the top three and 14-0. Yeah, this is a good day.
Regards, Todd
