Kansas' bowl destinations dwindling

A six win KU football team that plays in a tougher conference is ten times better than any Sun Belt team. Who were the big wins for Middle Tennessee State? Nobody, they got trounced by South Carolina 52-7. Troy? Nobody, Nebraska put up 56 on them and shut them out. LA-Lafayette? Again, noone. They lost to Troy by two touchdowns.

I think that next year the NCAA or whoever runs the bowls should change the rule that a 7-5 team has to be picked over a 6-6. In basketball they don't look just at a team's record when picking them for an at-large bid. They look at who the team played and the scores of the games as well as how the team has been doing lately. Pitt has lost it's last five, Washington State, it's last three. 'Zona like KU has won three of it's last four.

Some at KU weary of goalpost overkill

What the University should do is prosecute some of the students for trespassing onto the field and destroying university property. I know that there is no way to get everyone, but cops don't get everyone for speeding. They should pick out the ones that were on the goal post first and either fine them or do something. There needs to be an example set so this does not happen again.

I agree that for certain big wins, rushing the field is okay, but tearing down the goals needs to stop completely or we will be the next school in the news for having a fan get paralyzed or killed from getting trampled or hit by a falling piece of the goal.

As for basketball, I am just shrugging off the Vegas deal to A) excited fans, B) alcohol, and C) beating the #1 team for the first time in quite a while. Something like that would/should never happen in the fieldhouse.
