[FBWillie]

I don't get it...   and for the other cub... that's freik'n Alesana Alesana.   

[phicat1448]

He has heart you idiots!

Well, not only do we have A² but take a look at that tie job.  That's the way an Olineman should look.

Dude looks about 30 in that picture.  And he'll probably cut you if you keep staring like that.

He looks like a badass. Was he doing well this spring?

He's 27, actually.

I was going to say 35, but I was scared.

He's terrible at free throws.  (we pulled the hack-a-shaq on him in the playoffs in intramurals)  But he's tough as a motha fu$%er!

I've been thinking that the oline would improve every year since 04 and it hasn't.  I'll believe it when I see it.

He had a solid spring and had worked his way into starting, but he missed the last week of spring practice and the spring game b/c his fiance died back in California.  She had heart problems and a transplant this winter and early in April her body rejected the transplant.  Our first hope has to be for him to get through that as well as possible, then if he can get back into football this summer and next fall that is just gravy IMO.

Is Ben Lui(?) a guard or a tackle???

[Poopley]

When you look at Liu's film, you think "hmm, he could be a fine guard" but they may have to leave him at tackle just b/c we have so few options there. I think he's a little older, maybe 23?, so hopefully he arrives in great shape and ready to roll.

The o-line will improve.

If Freeman gets sacked less than 10 times at Auburn, we might win.

If Freeman gets sacked less throws TD's more than 10 times at Auburn, we might win.

Scrolling along ESPN:
Auburn 49 Kansas State 77
Freeman - 48-65 683 yrds, 11 TD's, 7 INT's
Nelson - 18 recpt, 6 TD's

Me too.  I was just looking for any positive sign that this could be the year. 

[fatty fat fat]

It was improved last year! 2005 was rock bottom.

That would be pretty effin' sweet.  It would completely ruin the year because that type of game would set horrible expectations for the rest of the year, but it'd be pretty effin' sweet from that point until our first loss.

[Bullfn33]

I think it was improved but not nearly enough to make a real impact.  Games against Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma State and half the Iowa State game were the only times that it had even that.  I also think Patton and Johnson were better a little more than the Oline was improved.   It looked as bad as ever in the Bowl game.  We generated 3 points on offense.

Any KSU fan who thought the line was going improve from '03 to '04 was on serious dope.

[PowerKAT]

You would think that with two O-Line coaches (mcCarty and head coach prince) that it would benefit sooner or later. 

[KSUIntegrity22]

We are cursed.

I don't think our offensive line got any better. It would have been hard for them to between the 05-06 campaigns due to the different schemes.

This year we have more reason to believe that it will improve compared to other years. This is the second year in this system, and we have a consistent presence in JB... Hopefully...

[SUPERKSUFAN]

Well, one thing is for sure...with Hafferty gone - we won't have as many false starts....

[doom]

I'm excited about Alesana coming, but I wish Freeman would improve so the o-line improving might actually do us some good.

[FBWillie]

Who's to say that Freeman isn't improving.   Name one point last year when he had a supporting cast as crappy as the spring game.   I didn't really want to bring this up again, but we won't know if he's better or worse until we see him against Auburn.

[PowerKAT]

Auburn will whip our asses into shape very fast
