As of this moment, the consensus seems to be KU will be playing in the Pop Tarts Bowl.
Against... UNC? NC State? Miami? BC? Duke? VaTech? I think if Clemson wins out there is a slight chance we may face them.

I just went to the Pop Tarts bowl website, and although I know the little click here icons are a picture of a pop tart with a bite taken out of it, it sure does look a lot like Kansas.

I personally would love NC State in the Pop Tarts Bowl.
Give it to me.

I still have PTSD from watching Philip Rivers pick KU apart for NC State in the 2003 Tangerine Bowl. Thirty point beatdown, IIRC.

Yup.
Mangino's first bowl game I think.
We were just happy to be there.

And David Jaynes in 1973. Kansas gave it away, basically. To Lou Holtz

Maybe JD6 would come in if Bean gets hurt? Wouldn’t that be something. Hope it’s not even remotely a possibly.
He'd have to be in the same state as the rest of the team for that to happen.

Exactly. And actually taking reps in practice.

I give the benefit of not knowing the inside workings of how much pain his back issue might cause with travel here.
I am extremely hesitant in regards to viewing athletes as soft, unless they have a history of doing so. These people compete at levels most of us can’t comprehend.

I am not faulting him for not being there. My back has been a mess recently so I empathize with him tremendously. My response was purely literal. Whatever is wrong with his back is preventing him from being an option as a backup as he doesn't even travel with the team. Will he be in pads on the sideline this weekend and change that? I don't know, I doubt it. If I had to guess I'd say he has taken his last snap this season but who knows. It would just be a guess based mostly on my own lingering back problems.

Back issues suck.
I have thought he was done for the year at least since the OU game.

his back pocket is more likely his biggest back issue. looking for a big nil hall next season in lawrence or elsewhere. and why not, he's not playing in the nfl.
