Got to love Dave Matter for being able to get to the heart of an issue very quickly...it is why he is one of the best.

If the Alamo Bowl...

…takes 7-5 KU over 9-4 Mizzou — assuming a Big 12 loss, which is why we’re having this discussion in the first place — I will be officially done with bowls.

…if they did that, they’d basically be saying that the first 90% of the season doesn’t matter at all. At that point, just eliminate the 6-win requirement and say “Whoever’s hottest at the end of the year, we’re taking them.” If that’s a 5-7 team that won two in a row…they’re in!

As a Texas fan, I can sympathize with you.

Not a huge fan of the “X team is really hot right now” argument.

to be fair

it’s not every team that’s won 1 of their last 3 and 2 of their last 6 like kU has.

Ain't Gonna Happen

Alamo Bowl would rather pick Santa Anna than the Chickenhawks

I'm not sure about that...

…Santa Anna is not a popular fellow in Texas.

Someone brought up a point the other day

with the “K-State Rule”, doesn’t the Big 12 Championship game runner-up HAVE to go to the Alamo or better?

I juggle one handed, do some magic tricks and do the best imitation of myself.

a lot of people were going back and forth on that

The answer was either the Alamo or Shreveport, but I dont think it ever was found via link or text (and it might not even be written down anywhere as it is)

I thought...

…it just had something to do with “No conference team with 2 fewer wins than you can go to a bowl ahead of you”…or did I completely and totally make that up?
