Huge game for both teams. I still think KU will win, despite the fact you guys put Texas in a clownsuit. It's gonna come down to our O-Line, Reesing's poise, and the ability to pressure freeman. I think K-State wins for the following reasons, 1. Home Field Advantage - Kansas State. No Mark Mangino's coached team has faired well on Big XII conference play, especially when it comes to the road. KU is 2-18 in Big XII road games under Mangino, and never fared better than 3-5 in conference play. Some of KU's manageable conference games: Texas A&M, OSU, Kansas State, and Colorado are on the road. 2. I think K-State is more prepared than Kansas is, considering if you look at their opponents. K-State faced two quality teams at the road in Auburn and Texas. Auburn isn't good, I'll admit that, but they did beat Florida at their house. KU however, has scheduled schools who I think aren't quality teams, even though I hear that Toledo lost to Miami by 14 and all that. Get real, Miami isn't worth a darn this year. And finally, Kansas haven't converted an extra point in Manhattan since 1997. What makes you think they will win in Manhattan? K-State has played better teams, but KU's schedule doesn't mean much. After, KSU used to play very similar schedules in the 90s, and they didn't falter when they opposition got tougher. More importantly, KU was actually hammering these bad teams. Last year we almost lost to Louisiana Monroe. This year we rolled everyone. Pure domination. Given the quality, that's nothing to brag about, unless you consider that we've lost to teams like this in the past. You can point to our past record on the road under Mangino, but that only means so much. As a Kansan, you have to be aware of the state Terry Allen left the program in. This was a Chernobyl caliber clean-up by Mangino, so it should come as no surprise that it's taken a while for the team to be competetive. But it has. And we've gotten better every year, whether or not the record reflects it. Perhaps most importantly, we have a new offensive coordinator. Nick Quartaro was terrible, and he is largely to blame why we lost so many games last year after leading in the second half. He played conservatively. His playbook was thinner than the mcDonald's healthy eating menu. This year we have a more versatile spread offense, similar in style to Mizzou's. It will be much harder to defend. And we have more talent than we've had in a while. Lastly, these are basically the same two teams that played last year. And we almost doubled you up in Lawrence. It will be an upset if KU wins. But I think we've got a good shot.

YES. :wink: We're gonna have our hands full with KSU next week. But just because they beat Texas doesn't mean we can't beat them.

KState is gonna give Texas a game today. Texas is overrated.

Because my parents raised me right.

WS PLZ!

Crank dat soulja boy vs KSU, UT!

Yeah, how dare they show a famous victory highlight in their own stadium. When they know its rubbing it in the face of the visiting and majority of fans? Pretty dumb and petty thing to do. Still their victory, still their stadium. Honestly, in the big picture, any Cubs fans' complaining is just sour grapes. It all depends. Do they show that clip regularly? When other teams play? Or was it unveiled only for the Cubs. If it was just for the Cubs, it's pretty lame. Sadly, since there are barely any witnesses to Florida's other home games, we may never know.

CHARLIE WEIS IS FAT LOLZ SO ORIGINAL DID YOU KNOW JOE PATERNO IS OLD AND NICK SABAN DOESN'T STAY IN JOBS LONG AND URBAN MEYER LIKES TO STEAL RECRUITS, LET'S ALL MAKE COOL ORIGINAL JOKES ABOUT THEM TOO i didnt make it; i saw it on a different board. and truffle, that couldnt be mangino's body unless he's lost weight since i last saw him.

bradley's post-game interview is on espn motion. he's fuming. pretty interesting stuff. http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3033666&categoryId=2378529&n8pe6c=1 It's the last video on page one of the video clip options.

chip had a nice home run call. i hated on him quite a bit while we had him, but in retrospect, he was not bad. Good energy, good voice.

It's just hate-hate with the Brew cause we're in a race with them now. I don't remember too many people having a deep hatred for the Brew in years past. The Brew fans on her have all been classy. Same obviously is said for the Cards fans through the years. Except K-Town obviously No, I've always hated Milwaukee. They've resented us ever since they joined the NLC pretty much because we turn *their* stadium into Wrigley North. They think we're rich, preppy fans or something when in reality we're probably the most varied fan group by both age and vocation. The Cardinals are just different than Milwaukee. They've been here before, they've fought with us before, and we've developed a grudging respect for each other. Us and Milwaukee? Well, we're just not there yet. Also, Hart and Braun are doing all they can to replace Rolen and Edmonds as most annoying players in the NLC. I hate the cardinals more than I hate the Brewers.

whoever he is, he owes me a hundred bucks if murt can't get some youtube cooking.

dude i got a c-note riding on this. that's not gonna cut it. I NEVER SHOULD'VE MADE THAT BET, IT WAS THE WHISKY TALKING.

Dont ask. You wont believe it. Murton, i need video stat. My brother bet me 100 beans that kind of thing couldn't happen. Against my better judgment, I took the bet.

Gotta get the vid, dude. I told my brother about this, and he said no way that happened.

uhh, yes. I for one am quite comfortable risking the wrath of the "baseball gods" you actually seem to believe in.

He's got some nice skills, I like him. Of course I really like WRs and CBs like I like CFs in baseball. I'm weird. He'd be front-runner for the Thorpe award if he played at a football school. If he continues to play well and we somehow scrape up 8-10 wins, he might have a shot at it anyway. KU up 55-3

I know you're joking, but NW has won the Big 10 championship more recently than Indiana, Mich St, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Historically, they have more Big 10 championships than Indiana, MSU, and the same # as Purdue. Indiana has a much more embarrassing football program, IMO.

exactly. if dude was in new york or boston or even st louis, the major networks wouldn't shut up about him. He has surpassed his cousin as a hitter and is easily out hitting him this year, yet if u asked someone at ESPN they would tell u how manny was for sure the better of the two. What? I said that he is better than Manny but ESPN would still say Manny is better they're related?

Nebraska beats BSU 41-40. Sorry Andy. The Big XII North is wide freaking open. Terrible, but wide freaking open.
