RE: Scathing column from Fresno Bee

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this works out for Prince, nothing like a 7-5 season with hopefully a 4-0 preconference and a 3-5 conference record to make sure K-state has to keep him around another 2-3 years.  After another 2-3 years of Prince KSU will be worse then the old KSU of the 70-80s we all loved.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sadness at the prospect that yes, KSU might be headed back to those horrible days of most of the 70s and  most of the 80's (and 60's, and most of the 50's, and all of the 20's, 30's and 40's).   

   . . . but ah yes, who can forget the heady days of ku football in the 1970's and 1980's.  (4) winning seasons, (3) 1 win seasons, (6) 2 to 4 win seasons.   80-125-8 overall from 1970 to 1989.

It's slow, what the hell.

It actually kind of sounds familiar, something like this...

I hope this works out for Mangino, nothing like a 7-5 season with hopefully a 4-0 preconference and a 3-5 conference record to make sure ku has to keep him around another 2-3 years. 

Of course, I'm not saying that Prince will turn this thing around, but sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for.

Mangino was showing signs for several years . . . dominant defenses, especially against the run, close, competitive games against almost everybody, and he was hammered by injuries and horrible quarterbacks for several seasons in a row. 

Take away the injuries and insert a good quarterback, and it's no surprise he had the sort of year most ku fans had been expecting.  Well, maybe not 12-1, but certainly an excellent season.

Favorable scheduling helps.

He wasn't close at all. ku was atrocious in 2006.

ku got pretty lucky last year, fwiw.  i think if we were able to pull it out against them, it was downhill from then on, kinda like what happened to us.

Sure . . . with a lot of help by the fact that since 2003, the Big 12 North is a shadow of its former self.

Where was this perspective following the 2006 season when 90%+ of the ku fanbase wanted him gone?
