The Truth
Make no mistake...

2008-2009 KSU basketball TEAM >>>>>>>> 2007-2008 KSU basketball team


LOVED watching Beasley & Walker almost single-handedly hand last years champs a loss in the OOD and the 'Cats get into the Dance based on Beasley's name....

BUT, this team is WAY more fun to watch and WAY more of a TEAM.  Best we've had since Mitch was here and I, for one, am glad that "The Rock" got to see them play in person.

TIA

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.

Agree with your overall assessment, but I wouldn't want to discount Pullen's role in that ku win.  He was huge (20 pts to Mike's 25 and Bill's 22).

Much better last year.  We had a chance to beat anyone.  This team could never match up with some teams.  Mike/Bill gave us that last year.

That's not the point...

This is a better "TEAM", and they play MUCH harder because they have to.  Clearly, we don't have a future NBA star on the team.

Last year was fun, and next year will be great too... but these kids are just more fun to watch compete.

Oh, ok.  I guess I just use "Better Team" to mean who would win if they played.

Agreed that last years "squad" would beat this years "squad".

This years "squad" is a better "team", imho.

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.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
Re: The Truth
I had more fun watching last year, because of a superstar making superstar plays and a freak athlete making freaky athletic plays.  That, and because we were better.

Re: The Truth
I don't necessarily disagree with you but I'm going to play devil's advocate how can we be better without the best player in college basketball?

    The "other" KSU
Re: The Truth


I see the "team" aspect, but the above will NEVER get old - that is something I will never forget (until I am drooling and staring out a window - suffering from Altzheimers)
