I like who we're playing just because we need the rude awakening early to get us over the hump in some games we might lose otherwise. On The Drive last night a girl drove around Lawrence trying to see if anyone knew who ku was playing this weekend and only one guy out of ten people had any clue. We'll be on National TV.
Yep. Getting our rectums torn out by Auburn will show our guys that they aren't as good as they think, but we'll get some fantastic callouses. However, the guys will be too physically and mentally decimated the week after to stop SJS and will pick up our second loss...but it will be OK because it will really test us, and probably add at least two layers to our callouses.
Missouri State will be shocked and awed by the size of our callouses. They won't know what hit them. Then, we'll go on the road to take on Texas...they'll destroy us of course, but we'll be even more calloused because of it. I am thinking four or five layers added...minimum.
Then, we get Kansas. The best part of all is that by this time ku will not have built up any callouses...they'll just be punch-drunk on their great self esteem from 4 wins in a row. This will be no contest. Everyone knows that callouses are better than confidence....I say we beat ku by 20...and pick up some nice layers on our callouses.
