have suspensions and injuries lowered the ceiling for this year?...

[scoopeloo]

suspensions: Norwood- a legitimate receiving threat
                  J. Moore- best cover corner on team
                  Moran   -  starting d tackle

injuries:  A. Moore- best playmaker of the LBs.
                Bedore- best o-lineman on the team
                Watts- leader of defense playing hurt again

each one of these guys was/is considered the best at their position.  What would our competition look like if you took away the equivalent players off their teams?  I honestly think we win the ku game if they were missing 6 projected starters.  I know it's a part of football, but not everywhere.

The obvious answer is:  'yes'.  We will suck worse than we otherwise would have sucked to some extent.

Part of the 'game' though, right?

Just wait till Jordy goes down.

Agreed - Poor form.  I take it back.

I thought 7 or 8 wins was the ceiling before the season started.

Are you guy trying to completely morph into ku fan from last year and 3 years ago?  You catch on to the word "if" very well.

great point Hox, there's a very real  possibility that we win 10 games this season. just like last. gonna be good times in the sugar bowl this year!  woot!

Every team has injuries (2003 KSU lost Ell for a game, Darren for a game, Thomas Hill, etc) excuses are for teams that do not have the grit to win. Plain and simple, Bold and Daring needs to do more than a win a year against the 2nd best South team to make me think we are on the right course.
