We have to get the W on Saturday. No if ands or butts. This is a must win game to salvage any chance at a Big 12 Championship Game berth or even a bowl game.
If we are to start 1-3, it will be very difficult to get butts in the seats at Arrowhed. The harsh reality is that hungover college kids wont make the 45 minute trek to watch a 1-3 football team. Neither will the Lawrence locals. And your run of the mill KU alumni fan that lives in KC Metro will think twice too.
It will be incredibly demotivating for these kids to show up and play in front of 25,000 fans in an 80,000 seat stadium for the rest of the season. These kids deserve better for all that they have given to turn this program.
Translation = Start 1-3 and Hawks will not really have a home field advantage the rest of the season. We simply cannot backslide to a losing season in Year 4.
