KU fan has been thumping their chest quite a bit this year. Almost to the point of bruising. Some KU fans predicted a good season this year, even going as far as 10-2. Most notably was Jack Harry of Channel 41. Although we only have his word. There is ZERO evidence in print or otherwise to prove he made this prediction. At any rate, I found this laughable. Why would anyone think KU would be any good this year? They were 6-6 last season with no bowl bid, and the season before they were 7-6. Can we say “went backwards?” So, where was the growth to predict a 10-2 season on 2007? There wasn’t. KU fan is just ignorant. Let’s look at it further, shall we?
Coming into this year, KU didn’t even know who their starting quarterback would be. By the way, for those in Rio Linda, the quarterback position is a huge factor when predicting a team’s success for the upcoming season. On top of this their coach, Mark Margerine-gino, was going to be fired. Yes fired. Plus, he single handedly put KU back on NCAA violations for cheating. All the more reason to predict a 10-2 season!
The real reason KU had success this year is simple: Their schedule. And it was a joke. Almost cowardly, really. But this isn’t new to Baby Huey. Since 2002 (His first season), he has scheduled 2—yes 2—BCS schools in his non-conference schedule. That is down right embarrassing. What is funny about this is even with his weak scheduling he still could never finish above fourth—in the North. He waited until his weakest season to pad his stats. Nice job fatty.
However, even with his 12 win season, what did Tons of Fun really accomplish? A 12 win season, ok. Four of those wins were against ridiculous opponents, plus they didn’t play Texas OR Oklahoma. In the biggest game in their schools history, national television, number one on the line, Big 12 title game, they got absolutely whose your daddy’d by Missouri. A beat down so bad, the NCAA is debating on whether Gary Pinkel should have to wear a “wife beater” all next season. And KU fan, don’t bother telling me that “if we had another two minutes” crap. You didn’t. Bottom line is Missouri slept walked through the 4th quarter and still beat you.
So with that, they failed to win their own division. No Conference Title game. Got creamed by their cross state rival. Again I ask, where is the accomplishment? A birth in the Orange bowl? Ok. We all know, locally AND nationally, that the Orange bowl committee is retarded. To pick KU over MU—a team who throttled KU, won its division AND played for its Conference Title—you would have to be retarded. It is the only logical explanation. Regardless, even with their first Orange bowl in almost 40 years, KU fans embarrassed themselves by not even showing up for the game. Hell, a 3 loss K-State team brought 50,000 to the Fiesta bowl.
In the days after the bowl games were over, KU fan is touting how they would much rather have their season over Missouri’s. This is absurd. KU played two teams that finished in the final polls. They took a beat down from one and squeaked by the other. KU accomplished nothing.
