Through 8 games of the 2007 season, KSU ranked #15 in the sagarin power poll.
When we lost a few defensive starters, we went in the tank.
Just a few, "nuggets" to chew over, imo.

Don't do this. One "vid." from you and half of this place will be disappointed if we don't win 8 games.

We're not going to be. I don't care how much some of our defensive recruits weigh, they're all JUCOS and they won't be very good this year. Our returners all proved that they suck last year, so let's not count on them too much. Our defense will be in the bottom 1/4 of the Big XII.
And please save me the "our offense should be extremely explosive" nonsense. We lost Jordy, who statistics show we threw to 98% of the time last year. We lost our starting running back, who wasn't that good, but what does that tell you about who was behind him? Sure our offensive line should improve this year....just like the last 3 years. Won't happen. But hey, those JUCO wide recievers sure look impressive on paper...WR is one of the toughest transitions to make to the next level so expecting production from those "burners" this year is pretty dumb.
Be warned, there will be "hype" videos abounding in the next few months, followed by spring practice and spring game posts talking about how "player x has really progressed" and "player y is an absolute beast." Well both x and y are going to suck when they actually get on the field and we're not going to win very many games this year, and we're certainly not going to a bowl.
Be strong people. Hold onto that feeling you had after the Fresno State game. We'll all be better off.
What fun would it be if we didn't get our expectations unreasonably high before the season? It makes the meltdown threads that much more spectacular.
Okay, say I buy into the "it was the injuries and lack of depth". You know I've seen plenty of teams with injuries and lack of depth that didn't give up 10 straight scoring drives to a suckass team like Nebraska.
Freeman may be a star.
Freeman may be a star.
The closest Freeman will ever get to a star is when he rushed the court after we beat ku and stood next to Beasley.

Freeman could be the best QB in the world, but he'll be throwing to a bunch of first year JUCO retards and a linebacker. They will make him look suckie. Come on people, grow up.

You mean like Darnell Mcdonald? Quincy Morgan? James Terry? Deon Murphy?
Go to hell, f*cking fan of the 3 seed. :mad:
having incredibly low expectations is going to pretty much rock.
But '07? We earned that. 30 points a game and 400 yards ON AVERAGE A GAME. Remember when Stan would get all excitable and talk about how T-Tech with their fantsy pants shoot and ladders nintendo offense might come in to Manhattan and put up 400 yards on us? Well, everyone did that. The whole year long.

In all fairness, those numbers were skewed a bit by 700 yards at Nebraska.

My point is that the yards per game was pretty much constant post-'03 until this year. The 400 ypg is just a further indication that this year we were much further away from a bowl game than many think.
I think next year will be worse and that is saying something. I think we are reaching a new tier of suckiness.

True, but it will be VERY entertaining. I also don't see that little nip of hope early in the season, that made the later part of the season so crushing back in 2007.

Could you see Freeman becoming a Lynn Dickey or Archie Manning where everyone just comes to the games with absolutely no expectations except to watch a really great QB? That is pretty much my last hope. If Freeman can show another big improvement over last year and make himself a legit NFL prospect, it would be fun, I guess.
The whole thing is going to suck ass until the release of seeing Ron Prince meet complete failure and the excitement of a coaching search. I'm done with him. I bitched about people not giving him enough time, about their racism, about them needlessly piling on him about crap that doesn't matter (his reading habits, the re-branding, the slogans) and predicted this whole fiasco playing out as a self-fulfilling prophecy, but he brought a ton on himself. The scheduling was one thing, but the recruiting coupled with the coaching turnover and then throw all his other eccentricities on top? I can't defend it any more, I can't take it any more.
It is just painful and sh1tty. Losing to ku again won't be fun. Getting raped by Nebraska won't be fun. Losing to CU won't be fun. Losing to MU won't be fun. Getting assrammed by Booby Stoops won't be fun. Dropping two completely senseless non-cons won't be fun.
I don't see much fun. I see a slight possibility of entertaining, but even that is a stretch. It will suck, let's not fool ourselves.
The season after next season when there are truly no expectations left and Prince is either on his way out or another coach is on his way in might be fun, but not next season.
Bleah. :yuck:

The suckiest thing about KSU football are the fans who crap on the team, the coach and individual players IN JUNE!! This team showed early last year that they are capable of competing at a high level. Yes we lost and fizzled at the end of the year. But how a "fan" can trash the entire next season before it is played, is beyond me. Ergo... SOME K-State "fans" really suck!! :chainsaw:

My hunches say we start out strong again..possibly a victory @ Louisville that will get us all riled up for a big letdown come October...
but hey, all I can do is wear my purple, drink some beers, have some brats, and try to enjoy the home games.
Not sure if I'm going ot have the time for the road trips...I'm a jinx anyway.
I guarantee 10 wins if...
we have some sexy black unis for football

Nyquil is utterly perfect for dealing w/tough ksu losses. When I still cared (OSU loss) i nearly took out an entire bottle. Tough night.

Any fan that thinks we should have black unis should move to boulder, Columbia, or Lubbock. The scum of the earth is made of black-uni-loving fans. Black unis already ruined basketball, i hope they don't do the same to football.
-still bleeding purple (not black)
