I think it sucks, too. I have some cousins who live in Kansas City, and I was planning a trip to see them around the game. You're right, the loss of the TV exposure hurts, but there was a good chance we were going to get killed -- meaning the exposure wouldn't have been so hot. If you're a recruit at home watching a game, and one team is getting pounded, what makes you rush out and sign with that team? Don't say I'm being a downer here -- I have as much faith in our boys as anyone, maybe too much at times (last year I bought into the spring hype and predicted 8 wins -- oops). But eliminating this game, plus the fact that TCU is going to fall off a lot this year, means we won't get smoked by anyone this year. Not saying (yet) that we're going to beat everyone, but the whippings won't happen this year.
Unless, of course, we deliver the whippings! (Uh oh, there I go again....)
