ESPN (World Wide Leader): K-State Will Be Pretty Good / KU Awful

[ew2x4]

And the best RB this side of the mississippi.

Daniel Thomas is legit, but the rest of your team kinda sucked.  The Big 12 North is weak. 

The O-line was a major surprise. Defense and Specials are mediocre to awful.

The 0-line was decent, but Thomas and Snyder's conservative play calling helped make them look better than they were.

No offense, but I don't think many here would come to you for football analysis. It's cute when you try, though.

The Oline will be one of the better ones in the country IMO.   They are coached by one of the best Oline coaches in the country.   I hope we can keep him around for a long time.

Having a good Oline and capable running backs can cover up for a lot of ills.

Nice defense mechanism, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm right.

My "defensive mechanism" doesn't have to. You are wrong. And you have a long storied past of being full of crap when analyzing football.

Stick with basketball BMW.

[jtksu]

So, having almost no passing game makes your o-line/ run game appear better?  That makes little to no sense.  And what was Gill's mac record in 07 and 09?  I love when BMW predicts KSU will be bad at something because his predictions are seldom right and often hilariously wrong.

[kstatefreak42]

keep it up tho BMW, its very VERY intertaining

[ew2x4]

Not to mention, "he looked better because of conservative play calling." Come on. He's not throwing in Mangino's spread offense.

And play calling outside of the KU game was loose to bat crap crazy at time. He ran DT 15 consecutive times to the right side of the field. WTF? The trick plays. The Wildcat formation. Sweeps. HB passes. Yeah, really conservative stuff there, beems.

[DOOMsday]

With a HOF coach at the helm.  Gill couldn't even muster .500 at a midmajor.  

Actually, he won the MAC title in '08. 

A.) It's the MAC
B.) 20-30 MAC record
C.) wtf is the MAC?

For the most part, Snyder got the ball in the hands of Daniel Thomas, which is a good strategy.  Gregory was rarely given the opportunity to sit back in the pocket and just let it loose.  Snyder set Gregory up for success by rolling him out of the pocket and keeping the opportunities for a mistake minimal.  The o-line wasn't out there trying to protect a spread offense QB, as you pointed out.

He wasn't given the opportunity because he had a wet noodle arm and moving the pocket gives more opportunities for poor receivers and scrambling. It's not a measure of an O-line's capabilities.

Alexander Robinson can counter Daniel Thomas, and is better than DT when not injured. ISU is Farmageddon I champs, and victors over KU in 2009 with Robinson.

Whatever. Running up stats on OOS teams while turning pretty mediocre in conference is nothing to be excited about.

Iowa state has a football team?

[jtksu]

There are schools in Iowa?

[kstatefreak42]

I dont see this "alexander robinson" guy on any draft boards for next year.... Who is he haverhill?

yup. and winbush is obviously better than sproles.

[The42Yardstick]

What's an "Iowa?"

[jtksu]

Aparently the large pig population living between MO and MN has somehow gained statehood.  I hear that each ear of corn also gets a vote.

Amazing point here.

USC plays there, though.

[jtksu]

Nah, I told you that the pigs were clever.  They simply have evolved to use camo.  By mimicing a large, powerful football team they scare away potential predators.

That place is real?! I mean, I'd heard people talk about it, but I thought it was just an urban legend.
