Kansas Fans Say Insight Bowl Worth Trip

(WICHITA, Kan.)

Packing up and heading out, Seve Palacioz is among the thousands of Kansas Jayhawk fans on their way to Arizona for the Insight Bowl.

"It's exciting just because it's back to back bowl games," Palacioz says.  "That's never happened in KU history."

Last season it was the Orange Bowl. This '07 KU grad and his dad were right there for all the action. While the Insight Bowl doesn't have the same prestige, this year's matchup between Kansas and Minnesota looks to be the first sellout in the bowl's history.

"KU fans travel really well and everyone is really nice," Palacioz says. "We will all just get together and root on the Hawks."

Fans flying by charter will leave from Kansas City on Monday, but others like Seve and his dad have made their own arrangements, trying to save money in these tough economic times.

"It's hard to describe being a Jayhawk fan and being one your whole life and just knowing how much every little game means to you."

The Insight Bowl kicks off on Wednesday, December 31st at 4:30 pm Central Time.  You can watch it on the NFL Network.

The Eyewitness Sports team is in Tempe for the game. Look for report on Eyewitness Newscasts and here at kwch.com.
