Polls are extremely worthless until week 6 or 7 of the season. At that point, it's a little more obvious what a team has/does not have.

not sure if it's been said in the middle pages of this topic, but this game really comes down to KU's O-Line VS KSU's D-Line. If KStates DLine is able to bring constant pressure and abuse QB's like they have so far this year, then we're in trouble.

This game should be a classic!

FWIW, K-State's next game will be on ESPN 2 at 8:00 aganist Colorado.

KU is going to get drilled like a hot chick on prom night.

Is there no KU p**y who will stand up and defend the Gheyhawks football honor?

This place is boring I'm going over to Phog.net and get banned. :) :)

Check the game threads from last year. A few KU football fans will chime in before the game but for the most part they will hide until they win. If they win, expect the basketball only fans to show up in full force.

What makes you think KU football players are gay?

Great stuff! HEH! Can you do one referencing the b-ball team? I want to use it as my avi this fall.

Seriously?


The reason that KU fans won't keep droning on about the subject is because neither MU or KSU has anything to hold over them.

If KSU wins on Saturday, I'll say it was a great job. You're ranked and should beat KU.
If you lose- KU only looks that much better and you've one again got nothing to talk shit about a school that has more tradition and prestige than both schools combined.

Really, it's just wasted breath. I've seen KU in person once this season, and followed the rest of the games. If they win, great job for Mangino. If not- it's not the end of the world.


As for the picture above- it was meant as a joke to start with, by a couple of very good LB's. Banks Floodman, Kevin Kane and Nick Reid made up a pretty damn good LB core, but whatever.

Don't mind these K-Staters, they're just scurred.

More tradition and prestige than both KSU and MU in football?

Are you serious?

Well said, Cocina_Basement.

Yeah, KU fans could get into the shit talking with the opposing fans. But what is the point? Sure, our team has looked very good so far. Sure, they beat up on easy opponents, but isn't that what good teams do? Yes, the defense looks much improved and we have an All American candidate at CB. Moving Rivera to the outside and putting Mortensen at MLB seems to have been a great move. I am optimistic that we finally have a good QB in Reesing. A quality QB is something that we've been missing for most of the Mangino era (yes we had Whittemore, but he was only around for a season, IIRC). He makes very smart decisions. He throws the ball away when there is nobody open. Plus, we have a nice group of receivers. Ed Warinner is doing a fantastic job as the new OC.

All of this looks great, but the Jayhawks still have some things to prove. Obviously, Mangino needs to prove he can win on the road, especially in the B12. However, I look at the game at ISU last year and it gives me a little hope. Reesing came in at QB in that game and helped them pull out a win. A game that they probably would have lost without a good QB. IMO, this team is probably Mangino's most talented in his tenure at KU. I maintain that this team should win no less than 8 games. The way they have looked, they may even win more. Starting this Saturday, we'll get a better idea of what kind of team we have.

Yeah, let's just forget everything that happened before the 90s. KSU football didn't start before Bill Snyder got there. Right?
:rolleyes:
