JUNK!

unlv? what?

very odd...

Gutter...does _________________=junk?

Looks like they wanted two high scoring offenses.

9 PM day after Xmas.
Taking that week off so that’s all good.
I’m fine w it.

UNLV is probably as good as BYU so we should be favored.

Nice. A game in Phoenix against another high scoring offense. Sounds fun. Awesome that KU made a bowl and gets another month of practice to prep for next season when they return a lot of starters.

None of these matter other than practicing and winning. These bowls are looking to sell seats. UNLV is virtually at home. Kind of like last year.

JUNK is a decent word to fill in the blank.
"Looks like" maybe they couldn't get who they wanted? UNLV is a surprise.
Guaranteed Rate pays out a substantial but comparably low 1.6 million. Not too many teams want to be away for Christmas. Not really a great nor desirable Bowl game if given a choice.
Las Vegas Bowl (where Northwestern is going) pays put 2.9 million and the kids will be home for Christmas. Which Bowl would you have wanted to be "invited" to if you were Northwestern?
We (KU) were originally thinking and probably wanted Pop Tarts. 6 Million payout.

P.S. For those of you going...
One of the nice things is if you wait until kickoff to buy your ticket, you should be able to get in for $5.
Another nice thing is KU has the better sideline.
One more nice thing is there are worse places to be on December 26th.
A bonus nice thing is the Suns play the Mavs Christmas Night.
Other than that, I don't have too many other nice things to offer.

We needed Bean to not have gotten hurt and we would be in the Pop Tarts bowl instead of ksu.

I’d just like a bowl win, no matter who it is against. UNLV has more wins than we do so that’s something.

Tech's desperate and dirty play cost KU two games really. A shame.

UNLV.

Sagarin 60th.

Offense 46th: 415 ypg.
Defense 93rd: 402 ypg.
Scoring offense 23rd: 34.3 ppg.

Have a WR with over 1300 yards in Ricky White.

This isn’t like Arkansas last year who was underrated.

That option game is going to be unique. Unfortunately their head coach was at Arkansas last year. And playing them again next season. Don't like this vibe

I won’t complain much about which bowl game KU is playing in after years of dogshit teams, but it’s too bad it’s not a more interesting opponent than a deeply mediocre UNLV team.

If they are deeply mediocre then hopefully we beat em by 3 plus TDs and have fun in the rout.

It has been about 15 years since a bowl win too. Get that monkey off the back

I remember that win.
Breckenridge bar.
Todd Reesing and co had no issues thumping Minny.
