Whitlock Puts On The Tiger Head
"Va. Tech-Kansas is a terrible matchup. The handful of Kansas fans who pony up to fly to Miami will have a great time at South Beach and plenty of elbow room at game time."

Note to Jason
Like Lee Corso, once you put on the Tiger Head, it never comes off. You are now a Tiger forever. Let me know how that works out for you. You've trashed KU fans twice now, so no more jumping back and forth.

KU needs to beat Missouri to keep national title hopes alive. KU loses to Missouri. KU loses shot at a national title but is absolutely in the Top 10 slots as one of only two BCS one-loss teams. Chase Daniels demonstrates side effects of steroid usage and Missouri pees pants in San Antonio so KU should lose BCS status? We put it on the line moving a home game to Arrowhead and our QB didn't throw a tantrum on national TV. We did the right things. We played our schedule and had one eight-point loss. Putting a home win against some low-rung BCS team in place of Toledo doesn't matter, it still totals up to 11 wins. Well, I guess it matters -- it would have given us LSU's spot in the national championship game or at least a claim to it.

Orange Bowl officials’ reasons for that decision were as such: Kansas (11-1) has one fewer loss than Missouri (11-2), and Kansas didn’t lose badly to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game. Then again, the reason Kansas didn’t have one more loss is that it didn’t have the chance to lose badly to Oklahoma, because, hello, it lost to MU on a neutral field one week earlier.
If KU had played and lost to OU, they still would only have one loss. MU would still have 2. Hmm, let's see here....2 minus 1 equals...uh....1? Ding ding ding!
Hello, indeed.
From day one, I said Missouri got screwed. What I won't say is that KU doesn't belong there. The issue is the two teams per conference rule that allows a three-loss team like Illinois to slip in.
The other issue is that Missouri knew the score going in. This was discussed all week leading up to the Big 12 Championship. We went throught this last year. We were bowl eligible, but we knew we had to win in Columbia to get a bowl. We didn't, so we stayed home. You've got to get it done on the field, beat OU one out of two and there is no issue.
