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.

witherspoon is the most overated linebacker in the country

Even if this Hanson guy is starting, he can't play defense, and K-State does have a running game, unlike KU and Mizzou.

Also - there is nothing more redneck(ingly?) pleasing than watching a bunch of Harley Davidsons circle the field before kickoff.

Actually, KU has one of the best running attacks in the conference. The problem last night, IMO, was that they brought Sharp back in too soon. Or at least they should have given Opurum half the carries. That guy tore some shit up the last 2 weeks. But CU's defense really played well against the run last night. They were keying on Sharp big time.

Maybe you are right, but I'm saying, that Thomas kid can flat out play.
