Recently, I wrote an article about how Kansas was the team of the year.
There were many skeptics—ONLY because the Jayhawks had lost one game to a good team.
There were also skeptics who said that KU shouldn't have gone to the
Today's Must Reads
Orange Bowl, and that Missouri should have been there instead.
They were all proven wrong on Thursday night.
Some may argue that Virginia Tech simply had a bad game—but if that's the case, maybe Kansas simply had a bad game against Missouri.
Others may argue that Kansas didn't play as well as Missouri would have.
My reply?
VT wasn't doing so hot either.
In any case, Kansas proved that they belonged in the BCS—and that they should be the team of the year.
How many other teams can manage to make it into the BCS under all that pressure...and come out alive?
Hawaii couldn't. Neither could Illinois. Even Oklahoma, a team that should be in BCS, managed to get shut down.
Kansas, on the other hand, stood up to adversity, beating VT in all three phases of the game.
Should the one-loss, top-10 Jayhawks be overlooked by college football fans?
No, not by a long shot.
Kansas earned the distinction as the Team of 2007 by winning in 2008—against a team that should've beaten them.

And you eat with that mouth? Say what you want to say with your "educated brain". Say it correctly too. Missouri is still the best team of the two this year.

well I don't know about team of the year but ku was impressive. personally though I really don't think they did deserve to play in the orange bowl over mizzou. I mean in the head to head missouri won but the part that really left me scratching my head was that missouri was even ranked higher in the bcs poll but the jayhawks still got the bcs bowl I mean I can understand going w/ kansas they're a great team but how was missouri ranked ahead of them but then sent to the cotton bowl? that would be kind of like having the #1 team play the #3 team for the national championship.

Do mizzou fans just look for KU articles so they can piss and moan? I'm not a fan of either team (Ohio State) but it is highly apparent that most MU fans need to get used to winning and appreciate how good MU was this year, quit looking over your shoulder to say something bad. MU fans sound like a bunch of cry babies. I wish Ohio State could of faced you guys. What excuses would you make for losing 3 games and still thinking your hot. Hell even Oklahoma got smoked!

Gotta agree with the post above me. Likewise, I'm a Cal fan so I don't care. But cool it on the Jayhawk hate, people. Maybe they aren't the team of the year, maybe they didn't even deserve to be in the Orange Bowl... who cares? Give the guys some credit for a quality season
They don't deserve a split of the national title though. Shut the hell up, Jimson

From your language, and your attitude, I'd guess you are an MU fan - you probably didn't go there - they do teach fairly well.
