Shit. The way all our teams are playing the friggin Mildcats might win it.

There goes our shot at winning both football and basketball national championships in the same year. :deevee:

Arkansas.

I'm not sure winning out would be necessary. MU could be 0-3 in the conference after next week, and KU and NU are both going to lose more games. The whole division is shaping up to be a trainwreck.

Just the way it goes in college football... someone will emerge the leader soon...

Should make the ride down the stretch a crazy one...

I was hoping for at least taking the next step and winning the North. Who knows, that still could happen. But they need to fix some issues with the defense first. Oh well, it's still better than getting beaten by KSU for a decade.

I think they thought they would get Sharp warmed up on a freebee. Oops.

I really like Opurnum. He's fun to watch. He brings a lot to the field. I'd have them both out there on some packages. But yeah, he needed to be on the field a little more. He may have softened up the D a little more.

Well that sucks. Maybee they can beat OU to make up for this abortion.

In other words, outside of aTm, the South may still be stronger than the North. However, if Mizzou can pull a win today, that helps the Big XII north, to a point.

But gollie, I knew aTm was bad, but I had no idea what just the hell happened in Manhattan.

loving the ride. . I just hope we can keep Mangino long enough to take that next step...

Each year it gets better and better for the hawks...

Oh, I don't think it was all rust. I think credit goes to CU. They keyed on the run well.

That's pretty hard to wrap your head around.

Exactly. Besides, KU got to the Orange Bowl a couple years ago by splitting carries with Sharp and McAnderson. Thunder and Lightning was deadly. Why aren't we doing that now? Opurum has already proven himself to be more than capable.

Holy shit, neither did I. 62-14? :eek:

I don't know what to say. Really. Maybe the Gregory kid might be the answer what K-State needed in the QB spot.

I mean, they gave up 66 to Tech last week, only to give up 14 (most of this was in the late 3rd to 4th quarter) against aTm.

As much as I love Reesing I think next year will be fun with Pick.

Thanks.

Agreed. Especially with how much better the south is than the north.

It's tough to beat anyone with this D. ISU at our homecoming missing a win by a bad throw... Something has to give.

OUs D looked very very VERY good. They may be looking to kill someone after their tough loss. And our ****ing fans leave at halftime.

Pick looks like the real deal.. Looking forward to that also.

I saw that on the bottom of the screen and just said "WTF?"

Don't count Mizzou out just yet. There's another half to play.

I think the OL better shape up. I doubt Pick can do what Reesing can do.

And his name is Pick. I can't get over that.

I just lost all expectations for this football team. I will still support them but thank god basketball tips off soon with what could quite possible be the best KU team of all time.

The KU-Texas Tech game should be fun to watch if you like offense.

Typical.

Kale Pick's apart the opposing defenses. :)

Rumors of Missouri's demise are greatly exaggerated.

I, too, am excited about or hoops team. But I am not giving up on the footbal team just yet. Still a lot of football to play. I'm hoping for the upset next week. :)

No wonder they had an article on the fans

Why? Should I still think they will win the north after losing to the buffs.

same here, we are due for a big win over OU... It is time... Maybe this is the wakeup call for KU...

Quitter.

With that defense of yours? Good luck....

They won't win the North, but winning out (including the B12CG and the BCS game) would probably be what it takes. All tonight did was raise more questions about why besides being the coaches kid, what did Cody do to win the starting job to start the season?

It was about the students leaving at halftime. I would never do that.

Sigh. Sad but true. He's probably one of those students that leaves games in the 3rd quarter. :shake:

The Big 12 is still pretty much open unless Green really is Vince Young :*(

Very good post. Raises questions, for certain.

Sure.

So do u have video of u watching this in a gay bar?

Blaineterception!!

Oh.....wrong thread.

He threw another one?

There were rumors that Colorado wouldn't fire Hawkins because they are still paying for Gary Barnett's buyout and Hawkins' buyout from Boise State. I hope it's true because I don't see them as a legit threat in the north.

I said "could" damnit.

Thats what you decided to post? This is it?

Wow.

Mangino needs to hire a good D coordinator.

CU was a laughingstock before this game. This doesn't change a whole lot unless they show more consistency.

Glad to see Zach come out of hiding

I just looked at the Jayhawks schedule and I really think KU ruined its chance to win the north today. Even if they beat Nebraska.

Probably... They pissed down their leg tonight. This was a big big game they had to have this one...

Instead they just shit all over the place...

So who wins the North? Colorado? lol

Caught the second half thanks to the greatest thing ever invented, the DVR. It happens to the best teams in the country every year, and it's pretty surprising that it's the first time it's happened to Kansas in the past 3 years.

I didn't really expect them to beat a South team this year, so all we have to do is beat OU next week... :D

No, it wasn't. That was the problem. ;)

This is like watching Dick Vermeils chiefs play. always lose the important game.

Yeah, they certainly made it much tougher. Sucks especially with that gift from NU today. :banghead:

Should be us. KU and OU are our potential loses. I just don't believe CU will beat us. We won't spot them 14 points like we did last year. You know, our goal was to win the north. I guess that's progress, although I wanted to play Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Your right, it wasnt a big named team... But in terms of the conference title it was effin huge..

We still have TX, OU, TT, NU and MU on the schedule... It was big in terms other than the name of the team...

You guys have to win at Texas Tech:evil:

You Nebraska homer! I agree Sam Nebraska has the easier schedule but are they going to play Green? Do you live in Nebraska? I haven't heard much about him other then he's a stud recruit. He looks raw but can make plays which is better then Lee but he'll turn the ball over.

I think we can start Green and still beat Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas State and Colorado. Green supposedly doesn't know much of the playbook. He's run well in mop up duty and hasn't thrown much. I'm sure there will be growing pains.

What I keep hearing is that he doesn't know much of the playbook.

Of course... and especially when you're dealing with college kids, they're the most dangerous games on the schedule. No matter what you say in practice that week, they're still the Colorado Buffaloes, and you have real teams to play later on.... :doh!:

Well Hanson single handly bozo'd the whole KU defense... He never had to run at full speed, He just trotted around making complete fools of KU.

LMAO

We all knew KU sucked - this is no big surprise, IMO.

They had a pretty good D coordinator but he left for a better job.

They are still going to beat your putty tats.

****!

I hate football :(

Might as well give it up. I did.

After last week, this loss didn't surprise me much. Like last season, they are still significantly flawed. Reesing, Briscoe, and Meier can't do everything.

I think KU was the better team yesterday, but they didn't get it done when it counted like they have in previous close games over the last few years.

Anyway...they are still in the hunt for the Big 12 North and a pretty good bowl game (all you can really hope for as a fan). Win next week against OU and the season is back on track.

We'll see about that too as well.

Well, I can see KU possibly going 1-3 before arriving to Manhattan, because they play against Oklahoma, who by all accounts, probably is going to be pissed after losing Texas and also losing their "so-called" stud QB. However, KU DOES have a shot winning the OU game, becuase the game is in Lawrence, which helps. But also Oklahoma losing Bradford could be costly as well.

It's just depends if KU's offense can get it going right from the start, not bumbling and wandering around like a homeless drunk when the game started, until realizing "OH SHIT! We got a football game to play!"

After that, they play Texas Tech, at Lubbock. That could be worse than the Little Bighorn massacre.

Nebraska has a very friendly schedule. They play Iowa State and Baylor at Lincoln, so that helps them. Nebraska should take care of them, but Iowa State is not going to be easy, fwiw. The Arnaud and Robinson combo is a tough one to deal with.

Missouri worries me the most, if I was a Mizz fan. They play against Texas, and that's not going to be easy. Mizz has a outside shot a this game, since the fact the game is played at Columbia. Outside of that, I don't know if they're gonna win this game, becuase Mizz's defense scares the shit out of me. After that, they got to go to Colorado. Yowza.

Frazod might be right. The Mildcats might actually have a outside shot of winning this conference.

I can understand the scenario where the winner of the Colorado-Nebraska game wins the north. I have a hard time seeing Kansas State win the north.

Well, considering the Colorado, Missouri, and Kansas games is at Manhattan, I would tend to give the odds to Kansas State. Plus, you have seen Missouri and Kansas' defenses recently, yes?

I need to see more consistency from KSU. They weren't even on the radar before this week. Maybe A&M is that bad.

And you might be right. Maybe aTm is worse than people think, including me. I still find it a little odd that they got their asses handed back to them, considering their QB is Jerrod Johnson, the Big 12's total offense leader, who played decently up to this point.

Perhaps it's just one of those days that you know it's just not your day for aTm. However, I also want to let people know that Daniel Thomas kid is real. Plus, K-State offense showed more "spark" when Grant Gregory replaced Coffman. Gregory has more risks than Coffamn, with his dumbassery spinning out of the pocket, trying to create something, only to lose massive yardage. But he also has high reward, as he can run better than Coffman, and manage the team better.

But you are right. K-State do need to show more consistency. But you can't deny that K-State actually gotten better under Bill Snyder. Remember, K-State under Dickless Prince gave up what, a shit ton of yardage and points?

In 2008 season, K-State defense gave up 35.8 PPG in 12 games.
In 2009 season, K-State defense gave up 23.8 PPG in 7 games.

So outside of one bad game in Texas Tech, they had been consistent in terms of keeping their opponents below 25.

I was at the game last night - it was a perfect storm. Everything that could have went wrong for A&M, did. The only reason A&M scored 14 was we put our backups in and they kept their starters in for the entire game.

I agree with you - we could easily lose to Colorado next Saturday.

I'll bet you $100 we (KSU) win that game by 10+ points. CU on the road is a lot like KSU on the road - they suck.

The only way i'll be comfortable with the idea of winning this game easily is they start Cody Hawkins..:)

I wouldn't take that bet, because you are probably right. I wouldn't bet against K-State if the game is in Manhattan.
