LOL. Great f-ing post.
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.

    I miss him ^^
The reason our LB's were good back then is because they wore huge shoulder pads.  Our current LB's play like their shoulder pads.....small and scrawny.

    The "other" KSU
I like Josh Buhl - he was undersized but nobody told him that... he played like a madman. He continually led the team in tackles, talk about a nose for the ball.

No, clearly you can still like him.  I also like him (for tearing Crouch's head off and being clever enough about it to not get caught lol).  He was pretty likable and servicable for a lot of years.  I think when he graduated he had played for us about 9 seasons give or take.

He would be the best LB on this years team.
Dirk would be the best DE as well.

QFT.  Remember when linebackers wore those neckbrace thingys behind their heads.  Any linebacker who wore one of those was unstoppable.

Which is better?

A.  LB gloves (black) with no fingers
B.  Neck roll/cowboy collar/etc.
C.  Elbow/Forearm pads

and taped fingers.  Roland is pretty close to looking the part.  But he couldn't hold any of those guys' jocks.

    (worst non-premium poster at ksufans.com)
what about percel gaskins and brooks barta, they should have made the list


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

    warm up the EMAW
I would rank them thus:


Mark Simoneau   
Terry Pierce   
Josh Buhl
Jeff Kelly   
Ben Leber   


I am very biased towards 2002.  That year we were really good.  I think Jeff Kelly is probably better than Buhl, but Buhl was a tackling machine and I remember his era better.  Buhl/Hickman were exposed after Pierce left, but I think it was more Hickman and Buhl was relegated to D.Sproles "wtf everyone?" 2004 status.  Leber I'm very meh about.

Simoneau was probably the best, but how can you not love Ochs for attempted murder in front of 50k witnesses and getting away with it?   :notworthy:

Simonvowel's Texas '99 game is a classic.  Just an all-around performance for the ages.  I remember Bill Snyder saying that before looking at the tape it was probably the closest thing to a perfect, assignment sound game that he'd ever seen. :love:
