2008 FedEx Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech V Kansas Jayhawks

And while Miami virtually doesn't have ANYTHING to look forward to this season in ANY kind of sport, at least they have THIS at Dolphin Stadium.

Yep, you read it, the 2008 FedEx Orange Bowl will be played in this cesspool dubbed ''Miami'' right in the middle of absurdity, Dolphin Stadium. Of all the places to have this great college football game, they chose this shithole huh? But hey, it's the Orange Bowl so I guess we can still hope for a good football game and forget about those Dolphins for a little bit.

It's offense against defense on this one people as the Kansas Jayhawks will bring their No.2 ranked offense to match-up against the Virginia Tech Hokies and their No.2 ranked defense.

Yep, the Kansas Jayhawks sure played good this season. They improved from a dismal 6-6 mark a year ago to 11-1 today.

Four Kansas Jayhawks were named all-Big 12 first team. Two of them, James McClinton, named the league's defensive lineman of the year and Marcus Herford, named the league's special teams player of the year after leading the Big 12 and ranking 8th nationally in kickoff returns.

The Kansas Jayhawks were 6th nationally in total offense gaining nearly 500 yards a game and second in scoring with more than 44 points per game.

Their rivals on January 3 are no pushovers either. Virginia Tech Hokies head coach Frank Beamer is third in the league's all-time leaders in winningnest coaches. He has 209 wins, behind only to Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno.

This is the 15th consecutive bowl appearance for the Virginia Tech Hokies, including four BCS games. Virginia Tech is one of only two teams, the other being the USC Trojans, to produce 10 or more wins in each of the past four seasons.

While this is the first meeting ever between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Kansas Jayhawks, it would be the 21st meeting between the current Big 12 and current ACC members. The ACC leads the series 11-9. Nine of the 20 previous meetings have decided the national championship.
