my imo, and bold statement

[fatty fat fat]

we have a better shot at 8-4, rather than 6-6.

Build them up and then tear them down.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

we have a better shot at 8-4, rather than 6-6.

 

What about 5-7 or 7-5?

My opinion:

8-4 = 5% chance.  We will have to beat Nebraska in Lincoln, beat Mizzou at home (spoiling the Border War and crowning ku Big 12 North Champs) and beat a decent FSU team in Fresno.  If we win out like this I am willing to get the tackiest KSU tattoo you can find to memorialize it forever.

7-5 = 50% chance.  We beat NU and FSU because we have better players and coaches.  We will lose badly to Mizzou for the same reasons.   

6-6 = 75% chance.  We beat NU because they have quit and Cally has all but resigned.  We lose to both Mizzou and FSU because that's how we usually follow up a big win on the road. 

5-7 = 30% chance.  NU and FSU are roadies, and therefore losses.  We've blown goats away from home outside of a fluke win in Austin over a Longhorn team that was looking ahead to OU.  Mizzou is better than us.

Don't the percentages for all possible outcomes have to total up to 100%? 

[WildCatzPhreak]

I'd feel better if we had a defensive line.

Still, the fact that Nebraska has literally the worst defense in the nation gives me hope.

I just wish we could hear Jim Rose melt down one last time..

It's like when we didn't get our standing ovation in 2003 because all the sker fans left.

We've been ROBBED of our glory once again!!!

DAMN YOU HUSKER NATION!!!

So, your analysis is terrible?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Percentage chance that Hawkish is a douche = 100%

[dlew12]

Percentage chance that Hawkish is a douche = 160%

Fixed

[Hercules Antigua]

Percentage chance that Hawkish is a douche = 100%

No, in this case he's pretty much right

[KSUTOMMY]

F³ the tattoo guarentee in writing please. If you got the numbers "8-5" descretly tatooed SOMEWHERE that will be good enough for me, buuuuut photographic proof is required.

Hawkish might be a douche, but I will admit - that is the ONLY ku fan on this board that I have any respect for. He is the only one to recognize just how fortunate ku is this year AND how their perfect season could go down in flames.

Good god Nimjrod what's done is done get a grip and get over it. You can't keep blaming all your lifes failers one one fanbase. 

[Bookcat]

I'd bank on 7-5.

I'm not sure if we can outscore Fresno state on the road because those guys can move the ball. And we all know what kind of woody lil' small conference teams get when they host a BCS conference team. It'll be interesting to see if Prince can actually prepare Kstate on that weekend.

They also get two weeks to prepare for us (their super bowl).  We don't generally fair well when the other team gets two weeks to prepare.

I don't think FSU has anywhere near the offense that OSU does, and we really should have beat them at their house.  Our offense looks really good against bad defenses, so I would have to imagine that we end up winning something like 42-35.
