Let’s take a trip down memory lane to when times were good. Yep, the past, that place where KU football wasn’t a habitual laughingstock, where it wasn’t a disgrace. This series will explore the games that made us proud to be a Jayhawk football fan. And what better time to flash back to than that magical 2007 season that led to the Orange Bowl win the following January.
October 6, 2007 was the first time a KU team had gone to Manhattan and won for 18 years. The last time they did so, both teams were pathetic. That game was a tossup as to who would be the doormat of the Big 8.
