Things are moving too fast for me and my staff.  Thank God for transfers.

[OK_Cat]

jfc, the only thing that will make this season ok is that it's going to be hilarious.

[Cire]

I think offensively we might be ok.  Defense is going to be a trainwreck.

At least Snyds isn't a laughing stock like Gill will be

Read the title of thread and thought this was an early April Fool's joke.

on Ducks/Canes series

LHC Bill Snyder: (Laughs) I’m not going to go to those games now, whether they remain scheduled or not. Yeah, that’s just not our philosophy in regards to scheduling. And that doesn’t help. That doesn’t assist our program.

how much money are we going to spend buying out these games?

Given I'd like basketball to continue not sucking, I am hoping zero (0) dollars ($).

[OK_Cat]

I'd rather watch us get beat on national television to miami than to watch us beat/lose to western kentucky on fsnkc

    <--- our schedule again, now that Old Ballz is back.

[catzacker]

We’ve never had at Kansas State, and I don’t think we’re the only team that way, we started this thing with 47 guys on scholarship when you could have 85. And we never, ever caught up to the full 85 during my 17-year tenure here.

 

And bill shouldn't be allowed to get out of any games unless it costs us zero dollars.

Critter Christmas!

you mean you'd rather watch us play some no-name team in a boring, 10-3 type game?  As opposed to a high def ESPN broadcast against an elite team? 

We're going to suck for the next several years...I'd hope we all can face that fact.  I'd much rather lose on ESPN against a big name school than to lose against a La-La type team on a regional broadcast.

Maybe I'm alone in this, I dunno.

I'm with you.  The UCLA loss was a billion times more fun than the LaLa loss.

I'd rather win enough games to be bowl eligible. Besides, you said "I'd rather watch us get beat on national television to miami than to watch us beat/lose to western kentucky"

Much rather watch us beat a WKU than lose to anyone in the non-con. Football non-cons are entirely different from bball non-cons. Bad teams (and even mediocre/above average teams) in BCS conferences should just get their four non-con wins and get out. Bowl eligibility and the extra month of practice trump "national exposure" games.

Replace Auburn, Fresno and UL with some WKUs during the Prince tenure, and even a trainwreck program suddenly finds four extra wins and three consecutive bowl eligible seasons (not to mention three extra months of practice in a sport that tightly restricts practice time).

Until we can play Miamis/Oregons or USCs again, it's pointless and unnecessarily self-defeating to even have them on the schedule.

The problem with your theory is the part where you assumed we would beat WKU.

[OK_Cat]

I'm just talking about the fun level.  I'd rather watch Miami play than Western Kentucky. 

I don't give a crap about the well-being of the program.  We're going to suck for the next several years, or at least until Old Ballz goes away. 

[Dugout DickStone]

For a program that didn't play in a bowl last year and plays in a relatively easy division, to volunteer to go on the road and be someone else's decent non-con win is so moronic I don't see how anyone can defend it.  Bowl eligibility should be the goal.  Not flying coast to coast to play a close game against a name team that also pretty much sucks (Miami, UCLA)

"Oh yay, we are getting drilled by Miami in high def.  I had all my friends over and our wives hung out in the kitchen while me and my buddies drank a couple beers a piece and played Texas Hold 'em.  What a great weekend.  I am going to post pics on Facebook!"

Sometimes our fans are idiots.

Being in a bowl kicks the snot out of being 5-6.  If we were a 2-9 kind of team, I'd totally get the love for playing Miami.  Likewise if we were a 9-2 kind of team.  Unfortunately, we are neither of those things.  Bring on the cupcakes!
