The Big 12 slate is good for a mediocre team as we get to play other mediocre teams at home.  The schedule would be bad for a good team as we play other good teams at their place. 

I totally forgot about how poorly we've performed in Norman, Morgantown, and Ames. My fault.

I think we will be good enough to beat any team on our schedule this year but the only roadie I would actually favor us to win is Iowa State.  Just because some team with Klein or Lockett won in Norman doesn't make me think our current team with no known offensive weapons can do it.

I think we'll win in Morgantown and Ames. Eight wins.

Let's come up with something funny to bet, ideally that could be paid off at and/or to FattyFest.  Sending money to the other in the mail is boring*.

EDIT: *exception - Bear sending cash inside beast mode art

Is the bet over 6 wins?

That isn't how over unders work. I'll list you for the over, you're a believer!

I know how they work, just thought it was weird you didn't set it at 5.5. If it's 6, I def have the under and appreciate the wiggle room in case Baylor turns out to suck.

5.5 is a copout, in this case we know more than Bovada. Snyder been under 5.5 twice in the last 20 seasons. Getting that outfit to 6 wins last year is just as miraculous as getting 5 wins in 1990.

That'll work.  I'll take under 6, you take over 6.  6 is a draw. 

I should get a bonus if I go a 2nd consecutive year picking every game correctly before the season starts.

Hang on, I need to limit it to the regular season only.  I don't want to escape w/a draw when they go 6-6 and then lose when they beat central michigan or whatever in some weird bowl game.

I'm trying to think of something like where mayors of towns bet on a game and put up some famous local item but I doubt butter ships well.

If it was a lock that we'd both be in KC at a decent hour for the pre-fattyfest friday night, I'd say loser has to buy the round of famous gram & dun #longbones.

How do our rankings in the full review compare to our peer institutions (OU, Michigan, etc.) I'd imagine we compared quite well this go around.

 I saw they only rank something like 381 colleges, did Iowa State make the list?

Here you go. 381 schools is right.

Look at future BIGXII member Tulane coming in at #6! :love:

Also Stanford is all the way down at #18. Anyone going to the game should put that stat on a sign to hold. #johncurrieapproved

I think they go straight to oil based paints for this one.  The Princeton Review is like the Harvard of college lists.

Early betting look for Week 4: Sell Notre Dame, buy K-State

Kansas State Wildcats

In its last nine games, the K-State offense has made 36 trips to opposing red zones, producing 26 touchdowns and 10 field goals. This unit has far better talent at the skill positions than last year's edition and is improving steadily to complement the Big 12's best defense and special teams. The Cats are a contender in the wide-open Big 12.

I hate that reputation.

Think how good our D would be if Brent came in to shape this current roster.  :love:

Yeah, very weird.  But I really like it.  I mean it's my 2nd favorite thing for a football team to be good at.
