Headup,

I graduated 24 years ago, so I didn't get the patch. I think its kind of novel with a 2-7 record, and I would feel funny wearing one even if I was on the team. But KS football has a huge issue with with regional disparity. But thats an issue for another site.
So I don'tunderstand how I lose credibility, because my Alma Mater got an extremely favorable draw in a football regional.


the point i'm making here is that all sports have disparity at times. look at the NFL over the past few years, the team that "squeaked" into the playoffs have done pretty good. so records, don't mean so much. I was on a state championship team that lost 2 of our first 3 games. both to missouri schools, we rolled everyone is KS, so sometimes a team, a kid, gets in that doesn't look so good on paper, then the switch hits, and they are in the dance.

you may not feel you would lose credibilty because you weren't on the team, but why not go back to that school and denounce their accomplishments, your credibilty and reputation will suffer.

every sport has an underdog story, if we simply take away that opportunity, we will not be growing or improving anything.
