much better than a year ago when we were consensus #6.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

    Hey, basketball!!!
Isn't that the type of progress we're looking for out of Prince??? I mean #6-#3 is a big jump in just one year, but you have to add in how horrible ISU & CU is. ku is obviously not good, but when you talk about ISU & CU as of right now you mention them with the bottom three teams in the Big XII. And which their records & talent level on their teams last year were a big drop off from 2005.

With ku basically going knowhere with Mangino in his 6th year as head coach and basically seeing no improvement coming from ISU & CU, this is probably one the biggest down years in the Big XII North, maybe even worse than 2004 & 2005.

Most of us would've been very happy if you told us last summer that we would jump 3 spots in the pre-season north poll in Prince's first year, but with the last two games last year vs. ku & Rutgers, that were total meltdowns, we dont really know what to think now.

But as of right now with a three spot jump in the pre-season north rankings from last summer, that's the type of progress that you want to see out of Prince, no matter the circumstances.

I think the media see's us a the best of the bottom four rather than the bottom of the Top 3.    The only two names that have been put in the North Champ slot is Missouri and Nebraska.

Prince surprised a lot of people last year.   Will he surprise the pollsters this year and put KSU into the Big 12 Championship.  If that happens, I would expect a lot of the Prince haters to go into hiding.

IMO, to go suicidal. You know that there were a ton of cat fans that didn't want to see Prince succeed from the minute that he was hired.....

You must be crazy.  This is horrible news.

Last year we finished #2 in the North, so they're predicting us to do worse this year than we did last year.

Maybe. I'm hoping for a 5-3 finish that leaves us in sole 2nd place.

MU always gets more love in the offseason because Pinkel can recruit.  They continue to bring in talent that should have them winning the north.  Fortunately, he can't coach.  Now, that didn't stop Mack Brown from winning it all when he finally just had too much talent for him to squelch (including the uber-talented Vince Young).  That talent just carried him to the title.  Everyone keeps thinking that Pinkel will accumulate enough talent that eventually they'll win the north despite his coaching ability.

Mack Brown out-coached Snyder in 02 and 03.

Mack Brown took a 4-7 Texas team in 1997 and turned them into a 9-3 cotton bowl champs in his 1st year.
You suck.

That's just bunk.  Look at who has been drafted from MU.  Pinkel hasn't been bringing in the talent, he's been bringing in over rated talent.

QFT Bill Callahan is a great recruiter but can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.  That was enough to get them to the Cotten Bowl.

Not many, but you know there are some racist &@#%sticks out there that would love nothing more than for him to fall on his face and get fired.

Every KSU fan wants Prince to succeed.

Many of them don't think he will, or will give him the chance.  Hell, we have people on here who hate him because their cute question was cutoff from an archive radio broadcast.

Let's face it.   There is very little love of Prince from a large contingent of fans.  If he succeeds, they'll be the first on the bandwagon saying "I knew he was good!", but if he doesn't do as well, they'll be the first to say "See!  I told you so!"

I'll reserve judgment for the first three years to see what happens.    From my standpoint, he improved a team in his first year.  That says he's a good coach.   He'll need the next few years to build a successful program.   That will tell us if he's the right coach for KSU in the long run.

I agree that you need to give Princie at least 3 years before you give him a thumbs up or down. The Booby Scoop of OU is a rare case of a coach during so well in a short period of time.
This way I have at least 3 more years to make Prince jokes!!!   :thumbsup:

Don't worry; Even if we all hate him; it would take KSU a couple years to fire him.  Not everyone is like Nebraska where they fire a coach because the fan base has a feeling that their 10-2 team is heading in the wrong direction.

Recruiting to Texas is easy because Mack Brown made it easy.

Well, then he's an awesome coach.  Didn't he win their first NC in 30+(?) years?

You can't have it both ways.
