Great for the Big 12 to have the top team in each division 1 and 2 in the nation.

I don't think OU will lose to Texas (but at this point no one really knows how good Texas really is), but if it happened, and Mizzou beats OSU, the Texas/Mizzou game could be 1 vs 2.


Har har, frazod. Har har.

The next two weeks will be great tests for Mizzou.... Mizzou, Texas, and OSU are probably all averaging 50+ points a game.

Kansas needs a good showing against Colorado. It'll go a long way in securing a bowl, and they're going to get raped by OU the following week.

They finally got rid of that LOSER Cutler, now they can do something... ROFL

OVERATED! OVERATED!

Yeah, I don't understand how KU didn't fall after the Iowa St. game either.;)ROFL

They slept though the first half and had a great comback. Works for me. Mizzou is nowhere close to #2 in the country. More like #10.

Nick Saban has done a miracle at Alabama. That program was in shambles just a couple years ago.

Keep telling yourself that asswhipe.

What's with the name calling dickhead?

We'll see how MU fares the next two weeks, though I expect them to win both. They're clearly the best team in the North.

It's going to be funny to see them play Oklahoma again, though they should still earn a BCS berth.

They may lose but they will not get raped.

Oh yes you will. Your offensive line against the Gooners? Sod better have his affairs in order prior to the opening kickoff.

Do you get more enjoyment out of a KU loss or an MU win?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

Obviously I enjoy MU wins more. You're a moron to even ask the question.

But after your fraud run of last year, I'll certainly enjoy watching the Gooners use you guys as chewtoys for three hours.

I thought it was mild, given the context.

ROFL

What is Missouri's strength of schedule?

How in the hell could 13 people give Alabama a first place vote over Oklahoma?

What a joke... They should have gone to at least 20 after that showing.

I we use your logic, KU is not even in the rankings.:)

Okay, maybe that's a little strong... and I'm not saying that just because of ISU; they've been pretty inconsistent over the past few weeks and OU is stomping on the throats of their competition in the first quarter. They're averaging 21 points in the first quarter so far this season, and have given up a total of 3.

Compare OU's average first quarter lead of 21-0.6 with the other high-scoring teams... Mizzou's 14-6 average lead after one quarter, or Texas' 10-2.

Who knows, maybe they'll be hungover after the Texas game and get off to a slow start... and, obviously, OU is just like any other college team and will lack focus from time to time. But, at the moment I have a feeling that Kansas could get down a few possessions in the first half and at most make the final score look closer than it really was.

You know, next to the 12-1 record and Orange Bowl win, the best part about last year was how pissed off mouth-breathing MU fans like yourself got about the whole thing. That's all we heard throughout the entire off-season.

The beauty of it is that most KU fans I know will readily admit that MU deserved to be there over our Hawks. That just makes the victory even sweeter.

I love having an athletic director that knows how to do his job. If you're going to be pissed at anyone about the snub, you should be pissed at Alden. The dude doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

Eh.... 3 teams ahead of them lost, and two of the three teams just below them Vanderbilt and Boise State (not VTech, who beat Western Kentucky) jumped them in the AP.

Maybe Oklahoma State should have jumped them... besides that, no one else can really complain because Kansas did win. 15-17... :shrug:

Yay! Another KUnt who cheers backroom bullshit because his pussy team couldn't win on the field!

A friend of mine who graduated from Mizzou says she's going to have a watch party for OU/KU. For starters, it's the same week Mizzou plays Texas, so if both South teams win, any smack outside of a complete demoralizing of KU would be pointless.

Past that though, I don't really get it... Kansas fans knew the Jayhawks would take a step back this year, and everyone knew OU would get better. Mizzou couldn't beat OU last year, so had Mizzou taken a step back they wouldn't be able to beat them this year either, and who knows if they'll even beat them this year (if they meet).

Yeah, have fun watching Kansas lose or whatever, but it seems like some people think it proves something about last year. It doesn't. If Kansas gets their ass kicked by OU it'll mean that OU is much better in the trenches and that Kansas still has a way to go. Well, we already know that.

You were frauds then, you are frauds now. Perkins and his golden kneepads can't save you this year.

You are something else. Are you ever going to get over it?

I didn't bring it up. But if asked, I'll happily remind you clowns of the truth you all know.

We know what Whitlock's article will be about tomorrow. Ball State ranked.

Jealousy is a bitter pill to swallow.

I find it ironic how all these beaker fans are just dying for us to lose as if they have nothing else to root for. Basically, they are acting exactly the same that they accuse MU fans of during basketball season.

MU is going to have to win with their offense all of the time, though. Their D needs some work.

KU was not going to be as good this year. I think most of us knew that.

Or how they bring up last year's Orange Bowl and then say that Mizzou fans can't get over it. It's as if they really think that a team in the midst of a National Championship chase (in the sport that actually matters) is worried about what bowl game Kansas played in last year. I don't know any Mizzou fans who are losing sleep over what an inferior team did last year.

That D looked pretty good last night. They had a bad night in the first game of the season. Since then, it's been pretty darn good. People said the same thing about our defense last year, but we led the Big 12 in scoring defense by the end of the year.

I never worried that much about who got the bowl game last year. Nationally everyone knew who the better team was and most fans only care about the BCS championship game and couldn't tell you who was in the Orange Bowl or Cotton Bowl the previous year.

How are the Jayhawks frauds at the moment? (I'm not conceding the 'frauds then', I'm just not arguing it)... look at the bottom of the Top 25 and tell me where they should be ranked. Even if you say 20-25, being 15 instead of 25 is hardly considered being a fraud... it's just guesswork by that point. Hell, Ball State is ranked in the AP basically by default.

Like I said, Kansas fans knew they would take a step back this year... no one was expecting to match last year's success, and everyone knew the schedule was brutal this year. Why it's a talking point now for "you're frauds", I have no idea.

At the same time, Mizzou hasn't had to do much to get up to the number two spot in the nation... I'd probably worry about them being frauds before worrying about Kansas.

At my count, there's one Kansas fan who said Mizzou is overrated, and one Mizzou fan who said they're going to enjoy watching OU beat Kansas.

I guess I could say the same thing, that "all these Tiger fans" are dying to watch the Jayhawks lose, when they should be more enthusiastic about watching their own team.


I don't care what Mizzou does... they're a fun team to watch, and it's good for the Big 12. I'd love to see the B12 North rival the SEC divisions, because it wasn't long ago when it an incredibly sad division. But, sitting at #2, chirping about how you're (the global you) going to enjoy watching Kansas lose, while Mizzou has its biggest games ahead of them isn't very smart.

Missouri is earning their ranking every week. Until they lose, they deserve to be at the top. KU is a marginal top 25 team at best and they've got a long way to go, but they'll be a better team next year than they are this year. KU is an improving program, but we've got to settle for second place ni the Big 12 North, and with Colorado's program coming on pretty strong, that may not last long.

I am one of those people who is very concerned about our game next week. OSU will bring a solid team to Columbia. It will be a struggle to win.

yep. I'm worried every freaking week. I've been conditioned as a mizzou fan (and by proxy chiefs fan) that anything good won't last long and that we'll choke it away.

this has to be what being a red sox fan before they won the 'ship was like--always expecting the bottom to drop out.

I've said that this is the scariest game on the schedule....

next week will be a great game....without a doubt the number one game of the day....

Frazod, stop being a douche. KU wasn't a fraud last year, and they aren't frauds this year. Worry about your own team.

Go **** yourself. They were and they are. I can't wait to see how the rest of the conference lights you up if you can barely escape Ames with a win.

No, f***face. KU finished 12-1 last year with a win in the Orange Bowl. They were not frauds.

This year everyone knows that they are far weaker, probably somewhere in the 20s. I fail to see how that makes them frauds.

Same team, cumstain - only this year, with a REAL SCHEDULE, you can't dodge and suck your way to a BCS bowl.

You know damn well this isn't the same team. It's not even close to the same team. Stop being an ignorant douche, it reflects poorly on you.

Awww, poor widdle baby ain't going to the 'ship, so he needs to make excuses. :deevee:

**** you, loser. Real schedules are a bitch, aren't they?

List the nine teams you would put infront of them, and why. I'm interested in hearing you reasoning behind your opinion.

WTF are you talking about? I haven't made one excuse here. KU is a much different team this year, everyone acknowledges this FACT.

The only reason Missouri is #2 right now is the easy schedule they've had to this point.

Irony in it's purest form.

I'm not the one whose hate is causing him to abandon all logic.

...says the guy posting in the thread about MU.

ROFL

You are the daintiest and dumbest of the mouthy KUnts, always good for a laugh.

Keep telling yourself that the 2008 Jayhoax are really that much different that the 2007 Jayhoax. If you say it enough and click your ruby slippers together, perhaps you'll end up back in Kansas.

Kansas 35
Iowa St 33

Missouri (3) 1-0 5-0
Kansas (16) 1-0 4-1
Kansas State 0-1 3-2
Nebraska 0-1 3-2
Colorado 0-1 3-2
Iowa State 0-1 2-3

Exactly how I feel. The last time I rooted for a winner was the Royals in 85 since then it has been all bad luck

*Sigh*

I don't have to tell myself that, I know it to be true.

Yeah, that's what happens when you play like shit for an entire half. You have close games with lesser teams.

And your point? Frankly, if I was a KU fan I would STFU at this time.

Just like you know that Kansas would have beat Oklahoma last year, right? LMAO

I would if there wasn't an ignorant douche calling my team a fraud.

The last close game I recall (and it was not really that close) was at Arrowhead............oh I see what you mean....lesser teams..

I very much doubt that KU would have beaten Oklahoma last year.

:deevee:

Maybe you should put me on ignore then, pussy. You wouldn't cry so much.

Nah, that's your style.

big 12 represent

Yeah, sure it is.

Isn't it time for you to start in with the basketball smack? LMAO

Nice comeback?

It isn't necessary, believe me.

No, you'll just continue to go in threads and tell us we suck because we didnt win by enough.

I was surprised that MU didn't blowout Buffalo and allowed them to stay in the game so long. Many other MU fans were surprised, too, and acknowledged they would have to play better in the future.

You seem to just want to have the last word, so I'll let you have it.

Okay.

:)

Interesting thought on strength of schedule and folks smacking down on MU's weak schedule.
