I agree with '99. Why is everyone pointing at Mangino for losing this game? He had our team in position to win at the end, up 18-13, against an A&M program that is all about football and has a lot of talented players from the state of Texas.Do some of you really want to fire Mangino and start all over again like K-State is doing right now with Ron Prince? I don't. We've gotten this far and I think it's only going to get better from here on out. We nearly beat A&M and Nebraska with our 2nd-string QB. Kerry Meier struggled against Toledo in his first game on the road as a redshirt-freshman. Everybody panic in 3...2...1...We should have won this game today, no doubt about it. However, there's no reason to point fingers and start blaming the coaching staff. We've got to start winning as a team and losing as a team. This throw in the towel crap every time we lose a close game is ridiculous. So we're 3-3, big deal. I truly believe we can still go 8-4, most likely 7-5 with some big wins and some fun days ahead. The season's not over guys. I felt going into this weekend's game that A&M would be our toughest home game all season.I'm disappointed like everyone else that we let yet another one slip away. Time to watch some more college football and hope that the Chiefs win tomorrow. Next week we've got Collison and Hinrich back in town on Thursday for the Bulls/Sonics at Allen Fieldhouse, Late Night on Friday the 13th, and a home football game vs. Oklahoma State. Things could definitely be worse.
Terry Allen got blown out by bad teams. I guess San Diego St. and SMU don't ring any bells with you.aTm is 7-1 and has beaten MU. Baylor went on the road to CU and won, which Texas Tech couldn't do.OSU took aTm to OT and lost only because they couldn't make two extra points.They aren't USC, but they are far from bad teams.
Because, Saul, losing a close games means you were at least competative. Losing in a blowing means you ain't squat. Sabe?
Saul, since you don't see the games, and I'm sure you saw little of the 2001 team, you don't see what we saw. Games that were over in the first quarter. Guys quitting all over the field. Guys sleeping on the bench. Guys spending more time fighting over space around the heater than worrying about the game.Nobody is happy with the results this year. The only discussion here is whether Mangino deserves another shot because he's playing with a very young defense and his best QB has missed a lot of time.Some of us say yes. Others say no.All I can say is, canning Mangino now is going to set us back another two years.
all they need now is a umkc game.
Mangino and Wooldridge simply chose the wrong sport:
You guys can't even come close to comparing overall performance at this point.
