What does Mark Mangino always schedule a bye week before KSU??

Xtra time to travel to various midwestern buffets??
More time to work on ku's real rival . . . Nebraska??
More time to come up with explanations for media as to why KSU isn't ku's rival??
Accosting High School refs takes lots of energy??
Secret trips to Herpes clinic??
Covert Cigar shopping trips with good friend Lew Perkins??
Being a complete douchebag to the "little" people around Lawrence is tiring??

I think we should start doing the same thing but we haven't had that opportunity.

Sure, but Snyder knew the important of the game, as far as ku views us, it's just another game.

Because he's smart and knows what it will take to keep his job.  Last year they had us and MU back to back.  He now has a bye week before our game and MU is now in arrowhead, last game of the year after a home game against ISU.  The more and more I look at ku's schedule and how it sets up, if ku doens't win at least 8 games this year, they should quit football.

No . . . but you're telling me that it was just a matter of shear chance that ku just happened to have bye weeks prior to the KSU game two years in a row.   That's not the case.

Never said it was shear chance; every coach in the Big 12 had to agree on these schedules and the Fat man didn't personally pick when and where ku was playing. 

The only statement I'm making is that bitching about this is retarded.

LOL . . . the Big 12 Schedule is known several years in advance, and the OOC schedule (like this year) can be set up to ensure a bye week.

Are you out of your mind. He needs an extra week to counter Ron "Scary Smart" Prince's genius gameplan. I'm telling you, Ron Prince is quite possibly the best coach since Bear Bryant.

Good point; was mangino even around when this schedule was set up? 


and the OOC schedule (like this year) can be set up to ensure a bye week. 

So, you're criticizing Mangino because he didn't schedule his bye week in the middle of his OOC schedule as opposed to before a conference game?  Just as retarded.

Look, I hate ku, But the Bye week before ku's superbowl argument doesn't have a leg to stand on.   Complaining about it makes us look as dumb as ku fans.

1.  Big 12 conference Schedules were not made 6 years in advance, until just recently.

2.  Who said I was complaining about it??

So; this is going no where.  Maybe I'm confused about the point of this thread.  Humor, I know.   Fishing?  It's not the off season anymore - surely you can find betting things to occupy your time.

Do you believe that Mark Mangino held sole responsibility for having a Bye week before KSU last year as well as this year?

If so, do you think he should have scheduled a OOC game during that bye week so that his bye week would have been within the first 4 weeks of the season? 


Surely you can see why I think this line of thinking doesn't make sense.

So do you think that having a bye week prior to KSU two years in a row was somehow  the random output of a computer two years in a row?? 

Can any of engineering/math geeks calculate the odds on that??
