Your greatest year in school history and Mizzou beat you and ended up with a higher ranking...This has been covered.

Yes, it's lack of factual accuracy is pretty devastating...

They beat us in the number of years the school was paying for the ticket guarantees used to purchase their bowl berth.

Too bad this post is not true. Only PB and Hypocritson would believe a statement so fundamentally stupid.

I read all of Bambi's posts in a Simple Jack voice.

Instead of saying I'm wrong why can't you prove it? How many bcs bowls has Missouri ever won?

Missouri has won both an Orange Bowl and a Sugar Bowl.

Missouri has appeared in the Orange Bowl 4 times, the Sugar Bowl 2 times, and the Fiesta Bowl once.

Each of those appearances coincided with actually winning the conference in which Missouri played.

BCS bowls are now a distinction of the past, just like the Bowl Alliance berths. The only thing that remains are the bowls themselves.

Challenging Duncan to prove something typically won't work out the way you want.

Why that means nothing, according to the BCS KU was one of the best teams that's why they got invited to a BCS game. It's all fine and dandy that MU has been to all those bowls. Was the orange bowl when they went there a top bowl game?

Mizzou and Navy were both in the top five when they played in '61, and Penn State was #2 and undefeated when they beat Mizzou in '70. In other words, yes, it was a major bowl at that time.

Not that more evidence is needed, but you should throw the Cotton Bowls in there as well. The history and distinction of the bowl is on par with the others, in my opinion. And they were essentially runner up to MNC games.

Mizzou football doesn't "dominate" jack shit compared to Kansas. Their all time win % is marginally better (it was 7th among the Big 12 schools while Kansas was 8th, big whoop). They split head to head. They didn't ever win the conference either. The only thing they dominated in was Shreveport Bowl appearances. Congrats.


When Gary Pinkel is being discussed as worthy of a freakin statue outside your stadium, folks will never take your program all that serious.

Seriously?

Yes. The Rose, Orange and Sugar have pretty much always been major, prestigious bowls.

Start-up periods in the great depression aside.

The big issue with your own sentence here is the "got invited" part. Had you automatically qualified by winning your conference, your argument with have slightly more weight.

So if you're adding all those in how many national championships does KU have in basketball?
