I hate losing to K State, but damn if they don't bring it when they play us. that's probably my favorite thing about us joining the Big 12. furking Nebraska turtled and then ran away, but K rough ridin' State stepped up their game. this is how rivalries are born.
It is cute that they still think it is a rivalry
-
I'm not real confident knowing that Balbay will be guarding Jake for a lot of the game. I'm guessing that Jake will spend a majority of his time checking Joseph, who is the Horn's 4th leading scorer at 11ppg. One positive is that, I think Balbay will get more minutes with their need for someone to try and shut down Pullen, thus rendering UT a bit less potent offensively.

I couldn't homer my pick. I tried.

Not expecting a win, but this is CTR. Anything can happen.

You can throw out that kenpon mumble jumble, it's the CTR rivalry.

It is much more enjoyable going into this game that its not a "must win" for us to get in the tournament. Yes, a win would be huge, but had we lost another game or two winning in Austin would be our only hope. Now winning in Austin gets us into discussion for a 6 seed or maybe better, which would be huge. But after the January disaster its nice to be sitting here knowing we're a tournament lock as long as we don't do something really dumb after tonight.

this means losing to iowasu, if that wasn't clear to the iowans lurking on this site. losing to iowans is very stupid, because iowans themselves are extremely dumb. that's the subtext.

And for all of you :ball: only... this little gem was posted last year for the football matchup.
Many wonder why our (sometimes) annual football game with the University of Texas is affectionately called the Chisholm Trail Rivalry. We call it a rivalry instead of a showdown or something like that both because it is more PC and also because we love to patronize UT fans. Everyone knows a rivalry happens when both teams win once in a while, and UT has struggled mightily with the Wildcats of the Flint Hills. Since I see no earlier post about this (not like this site is user friendly/searchable anyway) on the football board, let's get started.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chisholm Trail was a trail used in the late 19th century to drive cattle overland from ranches in Texas to Kansas railheads. The portion of the trail marked by Jesse Chisholm went from his southern trading post near the Red River, to his northern trading post near Kansas City, Kansas. Texas ranchers using the Chisholm Trail started on that route from either the Rio Grande or San Antonio, Texas, and went to the railhead of the Kansas Pacific Railway in Abilene, Kansas, where the cattle would be sold and shipped eastward.
The trail is named for Jesse Chisholm who had built several trading posts in what is now western Oklahoma before the American Civil War. He died in 1868, too soon ever to drive cattle on the trail.
http://www.thechisholmtrail.com/map2.htm
To save you all some boring reads on Wikipedia and another website, www.thechisholmtrail.com, the bottom line is this:
Texans were too stupid to build railways to ship their longhorn cattle into markets where they could get more money per head, so they instead drove them all the way up to Abilene, KS, because the people there were smart enough to build railroads and ship cattle to better paying markets. Originally they had driven cattle to Missouri, but Missourians banned cattle because they are stupid, too. Ironically, the guy who built the stockyard in Abilene to house all of these cattle before shipping them to KC and St. Louis and Chicago was named McCoy.
Also, Texans being in denial about Kansas being better than them at everything actually can be traced back as far as 1931:
In 1931, Geo. W. Saunders, then President of the Old Trail Drivers Assoc. and an authority on Texas livestock History wrote: "The famed Chisholm Trail, about which more has been written than any other Southwestern Trail, cannot be traced in Texas for the reason that it never existed in this State."
Apparently his body is at the municipal auditorium in San Antonio. This makes me very torn about going to the Cotton Bowl or Alamo Bowl. The Cotton Bowl would be great, but the Alamo would give me an excuse to saunter over to the municipal auditorium, located at 100 Auditorium Circle San Antonio,
TX 78205 210-207-8511 / 210-207-8500 / 877-504-8895 / Fax: 210-207-4263, and blame my releasing excrement on his grave and/or body on Irritable Bowel Syndrome in order to escape arrest.
To sum it all up, the "Chisholm Trail Rivalry" or CTR is more than just a cute little name, it also is a constant reminder to all Texans that they were too stupid to figure out how to ship cattle and had to take their livestock up to Kansas because Kansans actually knew how to build railroads and profit from them.

Chisholm Trail Rivalry
It's that time of the year again, and the steaks (because they are cows, lol at cows) have never been higher! This game will decide if we are losers or not. While we cannot finish as "winners" in the conferece, This one game will define the regular season. If we lose, the regular season will clearly be an indisputable failure....losing records always are. If we win, who knows...
No Wednesdays?
Oklahoma State has two more games, home against TCU and at WVU...they have to win both to in order to finish in the top 6. They won't. If we win against, Texas it will likely ensure that our 9-9 record is good enough to land us the 6 seed (we have the tie-breaker against OSU with our record against higher ranked teams), and once again avoid the horrible shame of playing on a Wednesday (#NOWEDNESDAYS) in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship.

This is a very high stakes CTR. The Winner has a good shot at the NCAA's.... the loser is pretty much that piece of hamburger that falls into the burning charcoal.
It is much better for it to be on the road because of the distraction of Fake Paddy's Day. So many students get lost when they head from Aggieville to the Octagon of Doom.
It will be great times!!! :ksu:

We can.
It would probably be a good idea to shoot better than 22.6% on 2s this time. And not have 22.6% of our 2s get blocked.
Hopefully Nigel/Tre can combine for 7-11 from 3 again too.

It probably shouldn't make as much difference as it does, but this game will mean a lot for my perception of the season.
If we win in Austin, we will be almost assured a postseason appearance. I know most people don't care about the NIT, but getting in after all the crap from this season would be a positive. Plus, maintaining a 9 year streak of postseason appearances, even if 3 are NITs, is good for the program. Avoiding Wednesday and finishing 6th instead of 8th. It means winning our last 3 regular season games and 4 of our last 6, 3 of those over Top 25 teams.
With a loss, we're relegated to Wednesday and it will take 2 wins in KC to have any postseason chance, which doesn't seem likely. Its another road loss. Its a continuation of the up and down play from all season and reduces any positive momentum going into the postseason and next year.
Again, it shouldn't mean as much, but it does to me.

the NIT is important because its more games and practice for our young team.

I want to watch this team play more. I find them interesting. This is the bend or break game, so it seems important. Usually every game doesn't have the same value in college basketball. But this teams is so weird that they have virtually put every game at the same value.
-
too lazy, but there is some stat out there that no team has been left out with the crazy amount of top 50 wins we have
us, Kentucky and a couple more are the only school with that many quality wins ?

Yeah. The ESPN followup after the ISU win brought up OSU last year as a comparison on why we might have a chance at sneaking. They were 8-10 in conference but had 6 top 50 wins. But they were also 20-11 heading into the Dr. Pepper.

If the lineup doesn't get super Bruced, I'm really excited about the thought of Nigel, Foster, Iwunderful, the Big Hurt, and Gip starting. Of course we'd be better off with Nino at the 4/to come off the bench (and T's and p's to him), but I still like that 5. I know we'll have little to no depth, but should I not have these feelings?

Hmmm, not sure. Nigel will have to put in a lot of minutes today, maybe have Wes handle the ball for short stretches before media timeouts?

let Marcus and his handlers play pg with Nigel off the ball

could care less that jevon isn't playing. Sad about nino. Should be interesting to see how this works out.
