Why Kansas sport football is popular?

This is an opinion and would have to be answered by you

In 2008, the University of Kansas played in the Orange Bowl. Sure, it didn't really have many implications-had Virginia Tech won, the Hokies might have been ranked No. 2 overall at the end of the season-but Kansas, a punchline program for most of its existence, won the game with a team of under-recruited, undersized guys and an excessively mean, excessively corpulent Coach of the Year, Mark Mangino. It was a beautiful time to be a Jayhawks fan. In 2008, the University of Kansas played in the Orange Bowl.
