KANSAS> The Jayhawks have a 2-5 record in bowl games Past bowls not kind to'Hawks
By Dan Gelston Kansan sportswriter
When the Jayhawks say, "Aloha," to Hawaii, they will be revisiting a bowl that represents half of its bowl victories.
Kansas win against Brigham Young in the 1992 Aloha Bowl was the team's second bowl victory. Bowl games have not been kind to the Jayhawks. They have a 2-5 record with their other bowl win coming in the 1961 Bluebonnet Bowl, a 33-7 victory against Rice.
Although the Jayhawks' bowls appearances have not been plentiful, they have been eventful.
None has been more so than the 1969 Orange Bowl, which pitted the Jayhawks against Penn State. The game has become known as the infamous "12th Man Game."
Kansas led 14-7 with less than a minute left when Penn State quarterback Chuck Burkhart scored on a 3-yard run to bring the Nittany Lions within one and forced the game into one of its most dramatic finishes.
Penn State went for the win with a two-point conversion attempt, but Burkhart's pass was broken up.
However, the officials ruled that Kansas had 12 men on the field, thus nullifying the play. Penn State got to
try again, this time from 1 1/2 yards out, and it was successful. Bob Campbell's left-side run with 15 seconds left killed the Jayhawks hopes for a 10-win season.
The game was played before 77,719 fans, the second-largest crowd ever to watch a Kansas football game. This game was also the last for two Jayhawk All-Americans, quarterback Bobby Douglass and defensive end John Zook.
Kansas' first appearance in the Orange Bowl was not its first-ever bowl. The 1948 Orange Bowl saw Georgia Tech defeat Kansas 20-14.
Trailing by the same 20-14 score, the Jayhawks drove 57 yards to the one, only to see the beginning of their bad luck in the Orange Bowl.
Kansas quarterback Lynne McNutt, attempting to sneak the ball in for a game-tying touchdown, fumbled the ball, and Georgia Tech defensive player Rollo Phillips recovered it, ensuring a Tech victory.
Thirteen years later, Kansas played in the 1961蓝bonnet Bowl, and the Jayhawks trounced Rice, 33-7. All-American quarterback John Hadl had an unusual off-day and threw for 64 yards. Running back Ken Coleman ran for 107 yards. Coleman and running back Rodger McFarland each rushed for two touchdowns.
From 1973 to 1981, the Jayhawks were defeated in three bowl games. In the 1973 Liberty Bowl, the Jayhawks fell to North Carolina State, 31-18. Kansas quarterback David Jaynes finished the game 24-for-38 for 218 yards, posting Liberty Bowl records for attempts, completions and passing yards.
Kansas could not recover from a 19-0 halftime deficit in the 1975 Sun Bowl against Pittsburgh and lost 33-19. The game was running-dominated as both teams combined for 714 yards on the ground.
In the 1981 Hall of Fame Bowl, the Jayhawks were shut out 10-0 against Mississippi State, as Kansas produced just 260 yards of total offense.
Eleven years later, Kansas played in the Aloha Bowl. Kansas snapped its four-game postseason losing streak with a 23-20 win against Brigham Young University.
Dan Eichloff's 48-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter proved to be the game winner as the Jayhawk defense, which sacked BYU quarterback Tom Young six times, held the Cougars scoreless in the fourth quarter.
BYU put on a ferocious drive late in the fourth quarter, advancing to Kansas' 34-yard line, but senior safety Charley Bowen ensured the win with an interception with 2:11 to go.
ALOHA: UCLA Kansas linked in many ways

Iowa State to become the offensive line coach at Illinois. Not only are the 1995 coach and Donahue good friends, but also the 1968 coach and Donahue.
"Ihired Terry when he was right out of college," Rodgers said. "When I went to UCLA in 1970, I took Terry with me. We're very good friends and still talk often."
Since neither Kansas nor UCLA has any shot at the national championship, both teams are approaching their week in paradise as a much-needed vacation. However, both teams have said that the main reason for going is to win the game.
Perhaps Mason has figured out the best way to balance between work and pleasure since his last visit to Hawaii.
"I think we'll work a little harder on our kickoff coverage," he said. "We had a 7 (a.m.) press conference every day, and I'd come down in shorts, a T-shirt and sun glasses. As we got close to the game someone said, 'Did you forget you're going to play a game in a day'?"
"When they (BYU) returned that kickoff I thought, 'Oh boy, This might not work out the way I thought."

Fans will have plenty to do and see in Hawaii
By Adam Herschman Kansan sportswriter
Jayhawk fans traveling to Honolulu to support the Kansas football team will discover that Honolulu is as magnificent as Hawaii Five-O and Magnum P.I. portray it.
The most recent show is Magnum, and so that's probably the most present-day view of it," said Gail Chew, vice president of communication at the Hawaii Visitors Bureau. "I watch reruns of Hawaii Five-O, and yes, it is as beautiful as it's shown. There's no doubt about it. I'd match my state with anybody."
Besides going to the Aloha Bowl to watch the Kansas football team on Christmas Day, there are many things to do in and around Walkid, which is about a 10-minute drive southeast from downtown Honolulu on the island of Oahu.
Chew said Waikiki was a suburb of Honolulu in which many Honolulu residents live and also where the majority of visitors stay when they come to the island.
"It's a fun place to go, and the weather is beautiful," said Anne Walters, manager of Carlson Travel Network in Lawrence. "There's nightlife, there's shopping, tremendous different kinds of foods."
As for restaurants, Chew said Jayhawks fans would find McDonald's, Burger King and Jack in the Box, as well as ethnic foods such as Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
"All the ethnic cultures which make up Hawaii's population — you're going to find a restaurant," Chew said. "There isn't any kind of food that you would want to eat, that you can't find here."
Fodor's 94 Hawaii guide book recommends House Without a Key and Orchids for American food. Both restaurants are in the Halekulani Hotel, 2199 Kalia Road. For Japanese, there's Benihana of Tokyo, 2005 Kalia Road, and Fodor's 94 also recommends Hy's Steak House in the Waikiki Park Heights Hotel, 2440 Kuhio Ave.
For shopping in Waikiki, the Royal Shopping Center has 120 stores on three levels. The shops include Chanel, Louis Vuitton and the Little Hawaiian Craft Shop. The center runs along the main strip in Waikiki. Kalakaua Avenue.
"If you have children with you, there's a sea park." Walters said.
Seal Life Park is 12 miles east of Wakiki at Makapu Point. The park features exotic marine life. There's a 300,000-gallon Hawaiian Reef, Tank that
"If you're interested in history — and we just had the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor — there's a Pearl Harbor tour with the U.S.S. Arizona." Walters said.
Pearl Harbor is 25 minutes northwest of Waikiki Beach by car.
holds 2,000 island specimens, including sharks, marye algals and exotic eel fish.
"The best way to visit all the sites is to jump on the Waikiki trolley," Chew said. "The Waikiki trolley stops at different landmarks, including Iolani Palace, the Capitol and Chinatown."
Chew said visitors could purchase an all-day pass, which costs $15, at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.
"It's paradise," Chew said. "It's simply paradise."
