I don't know what would be worse.

Getting rolled by Notre Dame...or losing to Notre Dame in Tulsa like fashion (I still don't know how the boys lost that game).

So you think that Kansas Football (or Kansas State for that matter) would travel better than Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin or Michigan?

While I completely agree that playing some nasty Big 12 or SEC powerhouse games would be great, Baylor needs to become a yearly fixture on the schedule. I think making the Baylor game a yearly tradition needs to happen. It seems like a natural rivalry to me (close proximity, same student body demographics, the abercrombie bible school vs. the gucci party school, both football teams making promising Head Coach hires, etc).
Let me explain something to you. I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me.

I assume you mean 'non-conference' games?

Looking at the Bears' OOC games for '08 they open with three straight HOME GAMES against Wake Forest, Northwestern State and Washington State before playing their last OOC game against the University of Connecticut in Hartford. The Bears have a TOTAL of 5 'away' games all season.

No, he's referring to ND. They rarely, if ever, play in the opposing teams stadium. That's why Rutgers had to cancel its series with them. ND wanted the games played at the new Giants/Jets stadium and Rutgers refused because they are in the process of renovating their own stadium.
