Title: fact and rumor
Post by: Rick Daris on April 27, 2009, 02:19:59 PM
fact- joe bob hung out drinking at rab all sat night. it's like he never left.

rumor- was told this by two different people over the weekend. don't personally believe it, but figured i'd share... apparently the khhzht/ucla game this year isn't actually 100% go. heard that espn was somehow involved in trying to get someone other than our mighty wyldkathx to go play ucla. don't believe it but whatev.

I think the UCLA thing is for the following year . . . as the Old Balls pussification of K-State scheduling is currently a strong Category 3, and well on its way to a Category 4.

No doubt many of you will join the powertards in the parking lot to brew it up and get all giddified for a steady stream of Indiana State's, Tennessee Techs and Western Kentucky's.

Why play any BCS schools, that could kill the intrinsic value meter, and ruin EMAW buy in.

nope. the rumor i heard involved the game this year. i was all like "  :bs: "  and then a second person said they had heard similar stuff. still don't believe it but figured i'd pass it along. both people's stories involved espn somehow being involved and them wanting a different team (not us).

Getting pretty late in the game to change any match-ups.  We'd really struggle to find another team to fill that spot.

If so, check Category 4, the Bill Snyder pussification of KSU football is headed straight to a Category 5.

But remember . . . OB likes to "stair step" into the conference schedule . . . by rolling out what will hopefully turn into 4 glorified practices . . . why play a team that might be good, K-State could lose and damage EMAW esteem.

Why should you?  The formula has been proven - beat 4 cupcakes and catch some breaks in the regular season, and you can get a BCS berth without even playing for your conference championship. 

I see absolutely no reason we should ever leave Manhattan, KS for our non-conference schedule.

This.

Well, I don't know which was more fun I was at that game that we scored the most points, or won by the biggest margin or something, but I was also there vs. Nubb in 98 and VS USC.

Saul . . . nobody said I have to agree with the Mangina/Snyder formula of trying to backdoor into a BCS bowl.   In the era of 4 OOC games, an early season loss isn't going to keep you out of a BCS bowl, and obviously not out of the CCG . . . so it's absurd to not play at least one quality OOC game every year to get an early gauge on where you stand.

Plus creampuffs aren't dumb . . .  they expect bigger and bigger paydays to be the sacraficial lamb, so Snyder is going to have to go farther and farther down the food chain to try and find games, because the Michigan's of world also have no intention of going on the road in the OOC either and they can outpay K-State early and often.

I attended both usc games and they were epic.

Personally, I liked Gary Barnett's philosphy when he was at CU: play some bad@ss teams OOC and maybe pull one off - but get that experience and dominate the north - like he did. If you win conf, you are in a BCS... if not you are in the Holiday Bowl or the like. Someone out there in EMAWland tell me that you wouldn't want to spend a December weekend in San Diego.

Post by: sonofdaxjones on April 27, 2009, 05:11:33 PM
Nobody says you've even got to do what CU does, but in the era of 4 non-conference games its absurd to not play at least one decent OOC game every season . . . I hear OB is trying to get out of all of K-State's decent OOC games currently scheduled.

This team has NO business playing anyone in the non-con for the next 3-4 years.  I hope the rumor is true.

Completely disagree.  When you're rebuilding a football program, you schedule creampuffs galore.  Win 6-7 games and get to a bowl game.  That's an extra month of practice, which can really benefit the younger guys in the program.  Plus, by playing four creampuff non-con home games, you maximize your total revenue.  Once the program is at a level where it's winning 10 games a year, then you put teams like USC and Auburn on the schedule.

Also, if you've looked at ku's non-con this year, it's got Duke, UTEP, and Southern Miss.  Three programs with pretty decent talent that may provide enough of a challenge to substantially prepare for the Big 12.  That's what you like to see once the program starts developing a little more depth and increasing the talent level.

Is saying that those programs have "decent" talent really a stretch?  Southern Miss has some studs out of SEC country that can flat-out play.  Duke and UTEP are lower tier schools, but they get their fair share of players out of North Carolina and Texas.  I'm just saying they're a step up from a total creampuff like Eastern Michigan or Temple.

C'mon man- you're reaching.  I would agree with southern miss maybe 7 or 8 years ago but everyone knows duke sucks terribly and utep is not quite a national powerhouse.

So it's safe to say they have decent talent :dunno: http://southernmiss.rivals.com/commitlist.asp recruiting classes from '06 up are pretty salty + they went to a bowl last year. Gotta agree with BMW but it also does you no real good to play a team like that it's kinda like playing a bowl game against some sh1t team like minnesota. If you beat them who gives a sh1t if you lose lol.

Post by: sonofdaxjones on April 28, 2009, 09:08:21 AM
Of course Captain Meltdown would disagree with me . . .  the problem is young Captain Meltdown is that Snyder won't even have a Southern Miss or Duke type team on their schedule.   This isn't the era of just 3 non-conference games anymore, there's really no excuse for any BCS school, in the era of FOUR regular season non conference games to not play at least one game every year against another BCS school in the non conference.   Oh, and since it was always a favorite thing to say when K-State scheduled USC when USC was mediocre (well as "mediocre" as USC was ever going to get). . . ku scheduled Duke when they were absolutely HORRIBLE.   

Plus, it is absolutely a factual reality that since other much bigger schools are starting to take a "no road non conference games" stand that it will cost more and more money to bring any non conference opponent that resembles a legit test.   So the Nevada's, and Wyoming's, and New Mexico schools, and UTEP, and a bunch of the MAC schools will likely fetch 6-700,000K for going to places like Michigan.   Thus that leaves Bill all happy to go scrounge up Tennessee Tech's.
