Is anyone watching this game other than me?

A message to Frazod: We're not frauds.

And a message to everyone who panicked last week after Iowa State: Simmer down, this team is still going to finish with 8 wins (I hope) and play in a bowl.

About the same time KSU last made the Final Four.

Struggling 2 weeks in a row to wins against big 12 cellar dwellers? I think that constitutes as frauds. I still see losses for KU coming against Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech. Maybe even against Nebraska with the way they are playing today. 6 or 7 wins tops for KU.

Struggling in the first half != struggling all game long

It took a while to get going today, but we won pretty handily.

We did a lot of running that didn't go anywhere in the first half. But then in the second half, we used those same formations that we ran out of in the first half and passed out of them in the 2nd and made some big gains.

Doesn't matter. Struggle at all to score against a team with a potent offense like Missouri, TT, UT, OU, etc. and you will be down by 21 before you know it.

You clearly didn't watch either game. KU is a superior team to both ISU and CU, and deserve their ranking.

So basically we differ in our thinking by one win. I think KU could upset somebody (probably Texas Tech), and you don't.

If you guys beat Texas Tech, it wouldn't be an upset. They are ranked 7th but are really the 6th best team in the Big 12.

That's true, but our defense seems to be playing better in the 2nd half also.

Hopefully that's just a hiccup of the past 2 weeks and something that can be corrected. If not, there's a bunch of losses upcoming.

In all honesty, that seems like a pretty reasonable expectation to me.

Sure it would. TT = #7. KU will be unranked at that time.

Eh, pay no attention to that MUron. KU wins at least 8 games this year. I thought they played pretty well today. Yeah, they struggled in the first half. CU is a physical team and KU has been kind of slow starting lately. So what? KU made great adjustments and also played better in the 2nd half. As I recall, CU lost to Texas last week by a similar score. Does that mean that Texas almost sucks as bad as us because they beat CU by an extra TD?

Oh noes, losing to 3 of the best teams in the nation after taking a step back from winning the Orange Bowl! Yeah, poor frauds, they might have to settle for just any bowl, and have a chance to win consecutive bowl games for the first time ever. Sucks to be them.

Isn't their chest thumping lately cute?

A loss to OU next week won't drop them out of the top 25.
