- Sports reporter glad he decided to attend KU’s Bowl game
- January 9, 2008
- I almost didn’t go. This was the predominant thought in my mind as I sat in the Atlanta airport on a layover the day after the Orange Bowl. And to think of everything I would have missed-the best football game I have ever watched in person, the biggest win in Kansas football history, and the romanticism of following your team across the country to root them on in a BCS game, to name a few-was enough to make me want to scream with content. I had decided at the end of the semester at the University of Kansas, where I am a student and sports writer for the newspaper, not to attend. The plane ticket/game ticket combination figured to decimate my bank account, to say nothing of hotel accommodations, meals and other ancillary costs. But it wasn’t even that. I just didn’t think the Jayhawks could win. I had watched every game they had played over the last four years, and I just didn’t think they had the talent to hang with Virginia Tech. I was asked on a sports talk radio show in Lawrence in December to handicap the game - I said Virginia Tech 24-13. I said the Hokies had too much speed. I said we wouldn’t be able to run the ball and would be forced to throw into an interception-happy defense. I gave supreme credence to my own opinion because I had gone 12-0 picking KU football games over the season for the University Daily Kansan and had been crowned the champion of the “Kick the Kansan” college football prognostication contest. In short, I didn’t want to travel from my hometown in northern Minnesota to southern Miami to watch my team get beat.
