Damn me and my Christmas travel plans!! I would be all over this. Anyone want a voucher for the Tangerine Bowl to sit in the KU section?

Yeah, I saw that. It's a pretty nice deal for Kansas students. Though it's only a savings of $45 vs the amount for airfare, hotel, etc.

I was really hoping Kansas would go to the bowl in Fort Worth since the airfare and hotel would be much cheaper. I would have been able to go to the Fort Worth destination. As fun as Florida would be, I just don't have the time and money to spend going down there right before Xmas.

$45 is a lot of money for those of us in school ;)

Airfare is ~$150 from KC and hotel would be another $100 so, yeah, I get what you're saying, tho. Still, free tickets! If it were nearby in KC or something like that, I could go but that's about the only way since I'm heading out of town the next day.
