How in the world is Kansas in a bowl game?

I'm not sure what would even inspire the OP's OP. What kind of bored, soulless loser even expresses thoughts like that? Just watch the stupid bowl game and keep your mouth shut, whatever the damn score is.
Naturally it ends up being a classic lower-tier bowl shootout......

Same guy that claimed ND fans sold out the stadium to Clemson….his brother told him….lmao
I am old enough to remember then there was only about 7 bowls.
Basically you pretty much had to be a top 20 team to have a shot at one.
IT was a reward for a very good season at least.
Now bowls are meaningless.

Bowls are not a reward and never have been! They are exhibition games, entrepreneurial enterprises meant to make money for the promoters, and to be an afternoon at the park for the paying customers. Whatever the teams and coaches and players get out of it you'd have to ask them.
BUT THEY ARE NOT AN EFFING REWARD!!!!!!

Bowls give players and teams the opportunity to play other teams that they would most likely not play during the regular season. If these games were held during the regular season they would be more interesting and not just exhibitions with all the frills. But that would be impossible to do. Some of the games are very good (including Kansas vs Arkansas; North Carolina vs Oregon), but like a box of Christmas chocolates, you never know what you get until you bite into them. Next fall is a long way to go for those who have decided not to watch college football bowls.
Also, we can watch teams like Kansas and Eastern Michigan who would get maybe 30 seconds of our eyes on any given Saturday.
Yeah, I watched the last part of the KU/Arky game, awesome game. As well most of the 2nd half of the Oregon/UNC game, another great game. Two great bowl games, for all to see and enjoy!
Whether they're 'meaningless' or not, that's really a meaningless question. But they're definitely not meant as rewards for the teams playing in them. That notion has no bearing on their existence, nor is it ever why they were brought into existence in the first place, whether there was only five bowl games at one point in the distant past or fifty. It's just some bullshit people say, nothing more. At best, marketing, but really no more than fan sentimentalizing.....

Well I played in two. Pretty excited for both of them. You’re wrong.
All games are meaningless if you don't care. I remember playing Pop Warner games back when I was 8. They had a hell of a lot of meaning to me.
Is a sub .500 ND team playing a bad USC team "meaningless"? Not every game has to impact the NC outcome to be meaningful.
Hey, most ND fans feel the game vs South Carolina has meaning. For others, it doesn't have meaning.
An individual doesn't get to decide which games have "meaning" and which games don't for everyone else.
If you don't care about the bowls, then don't watch, grandpa. No one is forcing you to watch.
The play calling by Kansas is synchronized properly. It makes their average to above average players produce positive results.
If it’s a meaningless exhibition game then by definition isn’t it a reward?
Kansas vs Arkansas was a fun game. 6-6 Oklahoma is in an entertaining game with FSU.
Yes, these games don't have anything to do with a NC. But (IMO) they are fun and entertaining and somewhat novel college football matchups to watch on a chilly December night. If you don't want to watch, don't watch. Complaining about "there are too many bowl games!" is like complaining about there being too many movies broadcast on television. The obvious solution if that is your opinion: do not watch.
