Good luck with that. KU's team this year is gonna be nasty. Your one Burger boy will not make the difference. They could have a down night, but I doubt it. Collins and Aldrich still remember losing there.

I wouldnt go that far, only reason Gameday is there? KU of course! :thumb:

Should be a great atmosphere and hopefully a great game. If nothing else, it is great to at least be good enough to justify gameday coming to your house. It is a far cry from the Wooly losing to UMKC days.

When was the last time either of these teams even made the Elite 8?!?!
:LOL::Poke:
***runs and hides for cover***

I know KU will be nasty, I never said they wouldn't be. Doesn't mean that they won't be unbeatable.

I'm not going to get into a big argument with you considering I'm not counting on us winning, but I don't think you will run all over us like you seem to think. The year you ended up winning the freaking National Title, we took you down in Bramlage.

And our "one Burger boy" is just one part of a pretty good class Frank put together. Curtis Kelly and Wally Judge are going to look a lot different in the low post than last year's amazing lineup of Darren Kent & Luis Colon.

I'm pretty glad as a KU fan. That place should be rocking, and it'll be a great test for the Jayhawks.

So you may make the tourney again?

That's a fairly arrogant statement. The 07-08' season KU won the ship they had five pros (more actually with Cole and Collins) on their team. They lost to K-State who had two pros (1st and 2nd rounder) a couple other freshmen and two decent college players. Down night or got beat? I doubt Bill Self is going to go into that game thinking that as long as they don't have an off night they should just roll. Wally Judge is no Michael Beasley, but I think it shows how much one player can completely change the dynamic of a game. KU is going to be the fave to win the NCAA Tournament as they absolutely should be. Doesn't mean you can't lose one game. The last championship team came in and lost. When your on the road at your rivals house all bets are off. That's my only point. You be crazy to pick K-State against this team, but that's why they play the game. Go look at that night on YouTube. The place was nuts. That is what ESPN is wanting to give their viewers. Two teams that will be top 25, in state rivals, and seperated by an hour drive. Good stuff! Should be an awesome night. A good time for the entire state and fans of both schools. Surely KU fans like K-State being competitive to make the rivalry fun and relevant, No?

Short answer, yes.

They've got a pretty good class coming in and several decent starters returning. I hope the days of being in the cellar are gone, and I ultimately think the hiring of Coach Martin will lead to competing for con. Championships and deep tourney runs.

K-State has advanced to post season play for TWO consecutive years? That's pretty heady stuff.

yes...cause playing @ Kansas State has been such a house of horrors for KU for the past 25 years! ;)

KSuck got the game because they are playing David to their big brother Goliath - once again. ESPN likes fairy tales, and it doesn't get much more so than KSU vs. Kansas. KSU doesn't sniff a Game Day without Kansas coming to visit.

Game will be played in 2010, not 1999. Thanks for reminding us that we sucked under Woodridge & Asbury, though.

Jeez, you guys are really getting mad over this. Like someone said earlier, I would think you would want KSU to start doing well so that the game will mean something (and assuming you kill us as bad as you all claim[:whackit:], it'll make said win look more impressive).

Good post.

I'm all for the Big 12 getting as much respect and coverage as possible in basketball and football. Especially the North. **** the South.

3 years.

BACK TO BACK TO BACK 4th place finishes in the Big XII. Only other team to accomplish that is Kansas. ;)
