Kansas Beats Va Tech in Orange Bowl
Kansas and their coach were both living large tonight, as the Jayhawks defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies in the Orange Bowl, by a score of 24-21.
This was an entertaining game, but it was the afterthought of the bowl season to me. I still think that Missouri belonged in the BCS over Kansas, and if there was a more boring team to watch this year than Virginia Tech, I don’t know whose colors they wear. It was good, however; to not see a repeat of the Hawaii/Georgia game and Kansas played their hearts out to make sure that the Jayhawks would finally be known for something besides basketball and being the home of Dorothy Gale. Kansas may not see this high-profile a game again for awhile, as they had the right amount of luck, scheduling, and love from the BCS Bowl selectors to get to a BCS. Next year, the schedule will be tougher, expectations will be higher, and the second act will be criticized much harder than the first.
