TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Football => Topic started by: steve dave on September 11, 2015, 08:49:33 AM
-
-40k expected to be there. What about atmosphere? Crowd won't affect K-State much....just being on the road is what will be different. Being at home vs. on the road, this early in year, can be 14 point difference (see OSU).
-Nate: Talk about QB situation.....if anywhere else, would be skeptical. But, if anyone, Bill can work miracles. Tell us what kind of QB Joe can be. Stan: Yes, he's a backup, but he has experience. He's tall, 6'5", strong arm, and very willing to run the full offense. Very smart. Understands the defense. He really believes in entire offense. Press coverage....he's going deep. Not a bad runner. Not shifty....not exceptionally fast....but he runs the QB run game ok. But, not his favorite thing.
-What stands out about UTSA? Athleticism in skill positions. Dual threat QB. Diversified offense. Not scared. Explosive offense. #1 weapon is David Morgan, #87, former bball player........at college level, another Jason Whitton/Gronkowski. They just throw fades to him at goal line. Offensive is for real.....500+ yards and dominated at AZ. Three bad plays and UTSA wins.
(They didn't ask about prediction.....segment was shorter than normal).
-
probably because Nate sucks at his job
-
Went to look at tickets available and there seemed to be plenty left. :dunno: The alamo dome holds 72,000, so maybe 40,000 will seem like an empty stadium to our boys.
-
(They didn't ask about prediction.....segment was shorter than normal).
That's what happens when you talk about MU v. ArkState for 20 mins. which, btw, Gabe DeArmond is a complete toolbag. he makes me want MU to lose that game so much more than I ordinarily would have wanted.
-
K-State has a HUGE alumni base in Texas as well. I'm guessing that if there are 40K there, 10-15k will be in purple. It's a short drive from both Houston and Austin, especially.
:emawkid:
-
Thank you for the recap.
-
Did he say anything about Delton?

I think they only allow folks to sit in the lower bowl for UTSA games, limiting it to 40k.

no
-

no
They were too busy talking about MU's back up QB that will never play either.

anybody got a recap? I hit the parking garage in the middle of the SSJ-Andrew Lock glory hole.

Paraphrasing a bit but - "We're mumped"

- osu has a very good defense, osu only gave up 14 points vs texas on defense. play very fast at all levels on defense. on offense, they're better than last year, but they're not dominant. it's a more "reasonable" offense. if they don't make mistakes, they become pretty good, but defense is their strength.
- kstate has to stop Emmanuel Ogbah from causing havoc. he's a great pass rusher. k-state's had some trouble with pass rushers.
- kstate has to not turn over the football, play great special teams, and not have dumb penalties. i think you'll see k-state's running game improve. justin silmon's confidence level is very important. offensive live got a very much needed bye week. week off is very helpful.
- both teams are having trouble scoring td's in the redzone.
- kstate has the better special teams. they do everything well. thinks cantele broke a k-state record with 7 field goals in back to back games.
- lockett and sproles are klling it on special teams in the nfl. how much credit does sean snyder deserve? a TON of credit, he is the guru. he works really hard at finding advantages in special teams.
- don't expect to see Dante Barnett back this weekend.
- prediction: KSU 27 - OSU 26
-
lol
-
recap:
-stanton needs to recover at least 3 special team fumbles to have a chance
recap:
-stanton will have the game changing play of the week 27-21 go cats
-
--TCU loss gut-wrenching, tough to come back from
(Missed a bit here, had someone come by my desk)
-KSU will have its hands full again
-Stoops perfect after a loss (34-0 since '99)
-Thinks OU's second and third best games of last five years were '11 and '13 @Cats
The pick: Football karma back on KSU's side after deserting them last week, Cats keep on fighting and finally break through with a win, 31-30

it's prolly gonna take more than 31 to beat em............If were gonna do it.....something like 38-36 ish
-
regardless what happens prior we will lose unless we score 17 or more in the 4th quarter
-
High probability we score 0 in the 3rd
-
Has Stan ever picked us to lose a game?
-
Stan said he was going to rip ship up, or something, if we are up at half and blow it again.

i was right you guys
-
-How has recent recruiting been? Coaches are very excited about the young players in the program. They test out, athletically, as good or better than any other group ever.
-How about QB? Jesse Ertz will be given the first chance. A lot of hype, but he has to perform. If he fails, Hubener will be given the next chance.
-Snyder not shy about benching a QB....even did it with Michael Bishop.
-Do they have weapons at WR? They do have the weapons. Big drop off last year, but with Pringle, Burton, Heath, Zuber, Sutton....WR is much deeper and better.
-K-State has 4 legit RB's. I'm really high on Warmack. Charles Jones so reliable....he'll get first chance. But don't sleep on Delvin and Barnes. Oh, and we know what Silmon can do.
-Question mark is QB play and OL. But, LHC Bill Snyder is the greatest about answering OL questions. A lot of Bill's 25 years we were asking the same question this time of year about OL. Charles Dickey is the best and they're line will come through.....but very young. I have a good feeling that some how, some way the OL will come through and be serviceable.
-How about Stanford? I look at tape and see a couple things. In some regard, I see K-State being able to line up very well against a Stanford type team. K-State can stop a Stanford type offense. Match up very well against them. Then I see McCaffry......and wow, difference maker and the best in football. But, I do see K-State matching up very well.
-If they can somehow neutralize McCaffry, I like the way K-State matches up against Stanford.
(sorry, but he did repeat this several times)
-Do you like the conference schedule and how it lays out? Yes. The road schedule is in the top 5 toughest in the nation. But, they don't bunch up. And, it's home/away...home/away....not a bunch of tough road games in a row. If they can beat WVU (which we have never lost to), then look out. Where are we going to steal road W's.....that's the question. But, Snyder's teams have always done that.
FF:
1. New teams? Cinci and BYU
2. Currie to Tenn? No
3. Cowboys record? 9-7
4. K-State record? 7-5....toughest road schedule in history of program.
(got started late and sorry for grammar as playing catch-up)

thanks 'tater, i always prefer your reports to steve dave's.

Maybe I need to check the Extreme Football Insider Tidbits, but what the hell is wrong with Delton that he can't pass Hubener for #2?
-

We've discussed it somewhere, but there are some within the program that believe he'll never start a game at QB for K-State (Barring injuries, especially f Ertz remains healthy. Also, Skylar will move ahead of him at some point)
-
No way do the Cowboys go 9-7. No way.
-
8-8 seems more Cowboys'y

With all due respect that doesn't have a damn thing to do with what he asked. If Delton can't pass Hubener on the depth chart he needs to change positions or quit football.
-
To be fair, Stan basically said that if Ertz went down again he thinks Hubener would go in because of experience, but Delton would eventually be weaned into the position and be the starter by season's end. Said he thought that was the plan last year when Ertz went down but then Delton went down as well.
Essentially saying that talent-wise Delton is the #2, but experience gives Joe the edge.

That is incredibly stupid. No amount of experience can overcome how bad Joe Hubener is at football.
If Delton can't go out there and simply improvise his way in front of Hubener, then I agree with MIR that he needs to switch positions or transfer. Hubener has no business even suiting up for this team.

No, not transfer, quit. I love Bazooka Joe's heart but he isn't a FBS QB and not even a decent FCS QB.

I thought I was saying that Delton should switch to safety if he can't beat Joe. Maybe I wasn't being clear.
Joe shouldn't play any position.

Joe would be great at TE, but it's too late.

Have you ever heard Snyder say something like "we put him in the game because he is a talented playmaker even though he is not fully accustomed to the system"?
Just because Delton is #3 on the depth chart doesn't mean he wouldn't smoke Joe in game time performance. He just needs to memorize that playbook before Snyder will hand him the reins.

Actually Snyder said pretty much exactly that with regard to Bishop.
Admittedly, that was a long time ago. I think he has a somewhat different philosophy now.
Or maybe Delton is just no Bishop.

If this was Snyder 1.0, we may very well have thrown Delton into the fire to start 2015. During his first stint, Snyder played a TON of guys in their first or second year with the program. Simoneau, Dyshod Carter, Jeremetrius Butler, Jarrod Cooper, Terry Pierce, Lockett brothers, Eric Hickson, and plenty of others were starting as either a freshman or sophomore. There was a naive part of me still clinging to the notion that Snyds still handled personnel decisions. I gave up on that during the 2013 season when he kept repeatedly saying after losses "Sams should have played more" or "we should have run Daniel more". The Dimel-Miller braintrust gives zero effs about playmaking ability. Experience trumps all.

We were much more talented during Snyder 1.0. Dimel-Miller, by virtue of their terrible recruiting, have no playmakers. So, yeah, 'experience' is more important to those guys. If we had Bishop, Simoneu, Cooper, Sproles, Roberson, Newman, type players on the roster, I have a suspicion they'd be playing, experience notwithstanding. If Delton had the skillset of a Bishop, he'd be our starting QB IMO.

It'd be nice if everyone would stop overrating Delton. He is solid but won't ever be able to do anything spectacular in our offense. Thompson is going to be our star going forward and I'm really hoping he gets a legit shot next year and the coaches don't just try to throw in the more experienced guy for the more talented one.

Who the hell is overrating Delton? The bar for him has pretty much always been to be better than Ertz and Hubener. Why are you overrating Thompson?
-
I would like to see how good Ertz is before I root for Delton to take over.
-
No one is doing that either, I said that's the bar that was set for him.

9/16 - Florida Atlantic
-Big 12 seems wide open and with what I saw, I think K-State can contend...what do you think? When you re-watch the game, I feel better. Good defensive effort. Last week showed there's some possibilities for K-State. But, was that just the result of a favorable match-up with Stanford....that's what we'll find out.
-FAU allowed tons of rushing to Miami. Is that what K-State would like to establish? Not necessarily. K-State is very balanced. K-State wants to just continue the develop its Oline. They really didn't do too bad against Stanford. With that said, yes....K-State will want to show it can run tomorrow.
-How do you see RB situation? I think Charles Jones starts and gets majority of snaps. 40% Charles and 30% for each of other guys.
-FAU hung with Miami for awhile. They aren't bad. How do you see this game? Yes, FA not too bad. DLine is young, but very athletic. On offense, QB not really a running threat....more of a slinger like every other college offense these days.
Score? 34-13 K-State
-
I want to crush their souls in.
-
We should really do a return trip with FAU for "recruiting purposes". :love:
-
I'll be pretty disappointed if we only win by 21.
-
We should really do a return trip with FAU for "recruiting purposes". :love:
once we add the florida schools to the big 12, we should only play non cons against texas and florida schools.

Would take. :thumbs:

9/23 - Missouri State
-K-State defense very good so far. What's their ceiling? Could be a very good defense, but Big 12 is different level offensively. At end of year, numbers might not reflect how good they really are. They match up very well with teams like Stanford and FAU. But, watching Stanford handle USC made me feel better about K-State. We all felt good about our front 7, but K-State safeties lining up perfectly and are tackling really well, so that's a great sign.
-Running game dominated against FAU. How much confidence does that give you running game is back? First thing is, we really do have four legit RB's. Some teams talk that way, K-State really does. Barnes is Big 12 ready. Seven rushing TD's in a game......and four aren't even by your RB's. Very exciting times. We can trust Snyder to determine which back should be in there.....brains (Jones) vs. natural talent (Warmack/Barnes). Will depend on game, moment in game, location, etc. And, OL has come a long ways already.....Dickey is one of best OL coach in the country.
-It's been a very good sign that K-State has had success in the running game without having to run the QB much.
-What will we see tomorrow? MSU will be physical. Reflection of coach Steckel. QB can run and throw a little. But, up to K-State and how focused they are. They aren't on same level.
-Score? 48-6 K-State
-
nice update pett, I was just going to post some similar observations from the call
-
They got rid of Terry Allen?

They got rid of Terry Allen?
Yes, and it's a damn travesty to fire a good man like that.

9/30 - West Virginia
- Very big game to start conference, what have you thought of WVU? Good balance with few weaknesses on offense. Start with veteran QB and probably the best WR corp in Big 12. But, just an average OL.
- Not as good on defense, just lost too much from last year. But, D is coming around.
- Like timing of game. For a road game, mid afternoon game time is perfect. And, getting to campus is much easier. Don't have to stay in Pittsburgh anymore. Only a half hour away vs. 2 hours away. Going to Stanford will help the young guys with this trip.
- Teams match up well. Looks like dead even game.
- K-State offense vs. WVU defense? A real opportunity. WVU values defense more than in the past, but you can run the football against these guys. Ertz has grown up since Stanford. More confident, crisp in his throws and cuts.
- BYU ran with success....what do you take from that? That's the key to winning football. WVU had four defenders go to NFL. They just can't be as good defensively. They are not a dominant defensive football team.....yet. There is opportunity to run the ball against them.
- This is a real opportunity. WVU is good, but K-State matches up very well. I just have a great feeling about this game. I also like LHC Bill Snyder vs. Dana Holgorsen.
- Score? K-State 30-27.
-
9/30 - West Virginia
- Very big game to start conference, what have you thought of WVU? Good balance with few weaknesses on offense. Start with veteran QB and probably the best WR corp in Big 12. But, just an average OL.
- Not as good on defense, just lost too much from last year. But, D is coming around.
- Like timing of game. For a road game, mid afternoon game time is perfect. And, getting to campus is much easier. Don't have to stay in Pittsburgh anymore. Only a half hour away vs. 2 hours away. Going to Stanford will help the young guys with this trip.
- Teams match up well. Looks like dead even game.
- K-State offense vs. WVU defense? A real opportunity. WVU values defense more than in the past, but you can run the football against these guys. Ertz has grown up since Stanford. More confident, crisp in his throws and cuts.

:billdance: Stan also knew that CK7 and TLBL would not only beat but destroy Geno and Co in 2012. I'm feeling good about this.
-
He's underscoring how bad WVU is against the run. They are really quite awful.
In terms of yards per play, they're worse than Tech. They gave up seven yards a carry against BYU.
If we can't run, we're in trouble.

I honestly have really shitty memory, but has there ever been a game Snyder has lost when he had a really successful game of running the ball?

The 2001 cats could run on anybody but still went 6-6 with a damn salty defense
-

I think waters lost one were we could run good but we kept throwing instead
-
when we played NU in lincoln when alan/allen/allun evridge/everidge was our QB I think thomas clayton ran ruffshod on them for 100+ but our qb had the worst qb stats a qb could ever have. we almost still won.
-
NOPE
just checked. clayton ran for 6.5 ypc but didn't hit 100 yards.
evridge was 5 for 27 for 77 yards
we lost 25 27
-
I'm sure there are examples in 09 and 10 with the DT/CCQ backfield.
-
actually, sproles senior year we sucked crap. there are probably a ton there.
-
Does it matter how good we 'can' run the ball with Dimel calling the plays? With him we may not run it the entire game except for Winnie inside the 5.

Yes, that is correct. Freeman kind of ran him off

He was like a 4-star top 10 qb (even tho left handed), but a cry baby bitch. That hit that one ttech safety put on him is still one of the best hits I've ever seen. I was honestly surprised Evridge was still alive.

Evridge was a three star kid. He was our second QB that year after getting Nick Patton to commit.

10/21 - Texas
-What do you think of TX? This game is really about TX. Which team shows up. They are running the Baylor offense and when on, pretty good. Running game is great, much like Baylor at their best. Have hired Baylor people. Have a lot of things going for them. But, then, they let OSU go up and down the field on them. If they play their best, they are hard to beat.
- How will KSU do against that running game? K-State's best players on D right now is their front 7. TX has aggressive run game. Old school. But, K-State equipped to slow run game if they'll finish their tackles. This may define who wins this game b/c a lot of these runs will be on third down.
- What do you think of Strong? Don't think well equipped to coach at TX. Wasn't smart to take on Mack Brown. Ran off talent that he really didn't need to. Plus, sign of weakness when you start blaming assistant coaches. Has run of most of his coaches after only three years. Has made mistake after mistake. I don't believe he's right guy at TX.
- What about QB position at K-State? I think Jesse will be able to get back on field. We have history. Jake Waters most recent (and happened at OU). If not, Joe Hubener will be the guy. Problems haven't been all QB this year. Lot of wrong routes and dropped passes.
- K-State will have to have success passing tomorrow if they want to win. Optimistic Jesse will be the guy tomorrow.
- Score? 31-23 K-State.
-
Thanks for posting. I always enjoy reading Stan's candid take.
-
That is all good and well, if Jesse plays tomorrow. Something tells me he doesn't. If so, hopefully Snyder gets his head out of his a$$ and plays AD. Or if not, he atleast gives him the chance to play if Broadway Joe screws up.
Damn! He trippin' so hard fans are gonna think he done fell off!
-
Although I think Alex deserves a chance, I don't think he'll get it. I used to think this was not a time for change, but I now think it is such a time.
-
10/28 - Farmageddon
-Thoughts on Strong? They are not bad, but it's a mismatch when he goes against Snyder. They are playing harder for Strong, but if they have three straight losing seasons it'll be tough for him to survive. It'd be the first time since the 30's they had 3 straight losing seasons.
- Nate: It's tough to play QB at K-State, but Jesse is coming around and played good Saturday. Is he getting there? Yes, but he's got a long ways to go. His upside is very high. He's showed his speed lately, without even using much of QB run game. And, he's throwing better. Showed the down the line pass a bunch Sat. He did it very effectively. But, that's part of why you saw his completion rate so high. But, that's also why the Baylor's, etc., completion rate is so high.
- And, WR's played well. Made some plays and caught the ball very well.
- Now, they have to get a road win....haven't got that done yet this year.
- How about ISU? Close losses.....are they coming around? I'm seeing a good strategy from ISU. They've been coming out strong in these games. They strategize differently each game, and thus able to get off to good starts. Lead at half against Baylor, OSU, and TX......but eventually the other teams talent takes over and gets job done. But, I'm impressed with their preparation.
- They've had tough schedule and a lot of road games. Four of last five are at home for them.
- They will get over hump one of these weeks, just hope it's not this Saturday.
- Prediction: 32-24 K-State
-
32? that's a lot of field goals
-
Special teams TD.
-
We're going to score 30. This is the 2nd worst defense in the Big 12.
-

I understand what you're saying. But we're averaging like 15 points on the road.. I know we played tough defenses in a couple of those games, but other teams are averaging 40 points against OU and we put up 17.
I'm expecting 21-27 points, throw in a defensive/special teams TD or big plays, and we can get over 30.
Very much want us to go off for over thirty and it will be a welcome sight, just hard to imagine at this point.
-
iowa state's crowd is going to be very loud because they're weird and iowa state, and we won't be able to handle the noise
-
if iowa state can't beat us this year, maybe they should just fold up the football program with KU and we go back to the Big 8 in football.
-
My prediction:
This game will be very KSU-Iowa State'y.
-
Prediction: Ertz will run or he will struggle.
If he doesn't get at least 50 rushing yards, I don't think he gets much over 100 passing.
-
Ertz might be the worst QB we've ever had
-
Like, he really sucks. Our wrs aren't even that bad, it's just him
-
I would like to really lay it on them and continue right up until the last whistle, so that some of their old fans jump down and try to fight bill.
-
Also, if their AD isn't on TV late Sat afternoon complaining about the refs, I will be super disappointed.

I like both of these, but you really can't have the 2nd with the 1st. Pollard only brings out his best complaining after close losses.

Cats win on a TD pass to the left guard.
-
If it has to be close, I want a nonexistent pass interference call on their D(I mean, like their guy is multiple yards from our receiver) to give us a the tying TD, a personal foul called on their coach for arguing, and an uncalled targeting hit leading to fumble recover for TD on our kick off. All within like 12 seconds of the final buzzer.
-
I would be happy with a random 50/50 call vaguely effecting the outcome of the game. Their fanbase/AD would make it seem egregious enough.

I wonder where Emo is. This is his only way of staying abreast of Kat news, since he doesn't watch any of our games. :gocho:
-
I didn't really hear much Stanbot analysis of the Cats. was basically 5 minutes of radio about OU, WVU, OSU. I think he threw in that it would be a good idea to pressure the QB and, since we're at home, might win by a point.

Nothing quite like St John and Bukaty hitting Stan with pointed questions about the upcoming match-up... or frantically scrambling to get to the team's ESPN page pulled up so they can reel off a couple of scores to complement their crap questions
- The Central Michigan game altered a lot of pundits' perception of Oklahoma State. The last few weeks have been vindication for those with high FBIQ. Oklahoma State is legitimately in the race for the Big 12 title, but this is a big "prove it" game for a team that really isn't road tested.
- True freshman RB Justice Hill has provided a big boost in the running game. He's gone for 100+ in three of five Big 12 games. Lack of balance has been the biggest thing holding Oklahoma State back in recent seasons.
- St John asks Stan if the (Dallas) Cowboys should continue to roll with Dak or go back to Romo. This was probably the second longest response that Stan gave. Don't remember anything because the NFL is for poors
- Home team has had the upper hand in recent years (winner of the last five games). Oklahoma State has only beaten K-State in Manhattan once since Snyder was coach. Cats find a way in another tight game
-
Did anyone else hear Bukaty say that KU has won in Manhattan much more recently than Okie State? Because I'm pretty sure he said that and it's 100% not true.
-

11/18 - Baylor
- Nate: Unlike the common thought on Baylor, they really do like to run the ball. Since K-State is good against the run, does this favor K-State? Not necessarily. K-State will be fine against the run, but they can't defend the long pass. Haven't done so yet this year. Baylor will put their receivers so wide, they'll nearly be out of bounds. They throw short, so DB's better make the tackle or they're gone. Then, when suck you up, they'll go right over you....which is where K-State has struggled.
- The young QB can't run, but has a strong arm.
- Bennett will be nervous to just allow K-State to just march down field on offense...so, he will take chances with his defense.
- This is case where Baylor knows K-State better than K-State knows Baylor...which is opposite the norm for K-State in league games due to experience of staff.
- Prediction: 36-35 K-State (used same exact score as 2011, last time K-State beat Baylor)
- Basketball, anything stand out after a couple games? Yes, Sneed. He's ready to play. Athletic wing who can already shoot a little. He comes in ready to go, adds spark with his effort and defense. A lot like Wesley, but with a better shot.
- The team can score much better than prior years. 21-0 run would have been very difficult last couple years.
- Wade has struggled, so will need to have him come around. So there's obviously much upside if and when he gets going.
-
remember when we thought our secondary was a strength? that crap was funny
Baylor will throw for 450+ and tom hayes will keep his job
-

-
the "baylor has quit" narrative is also busted. They will be able to play pitch and catch which doesn't take a ton of want to
-
i have no doubt that the freshman qb is physically capable of rough ridin' us up, my hope is that he tries a couple stupid throws and we get a couple picks.

I think this will happen, its just going to be a matter of how many 30+ yard plays we give up in between.
Also, I don't think Baylor has quit, but I do think there is turmoil there. If we can force early TOs and get a lead then I think that becomes an advantage. If not and Baylor gets rolling early, then it becomes a "win one for Art" situation and that won't be good for us.
-
I mean, he was a 4 star prospect. Acting like he's going to tear us up (like it wouldn't surprise you), isn't really calling it like Nostradamus.

I spoke to a buddy of mine this week down here who is a very prominent attorney in Ft Worth and one of Baylor's "big cigars"... he told me that Baby Briles tried to tender his resignation after the UT debacle and the AD wouldn't accept it and made him stay on through the season. He seems to believe that there is mutiny in the football complex and that the focus and effort are virtually non-existant at this point.
After a three game losing streak and what they're accustomed to playing for in the pasts several years, he thinks they've hung it up. He was resigned to the fact that Snyder could name the score. Take that for what it's worth... Just what was shared with me.

It will be interesting to see how hard they compete. A way different situation, but this is starting to look like Mangino's last season at KU.

thanks for the recap
-
the Qb will just air it out, not like thats a real gritty did it out thing to do.
-
I'm guessing another game where Kstate drives it 10+ plays and scores..... then Baylor scores a TD in 2 or 3 plays and we pray for a kickoff return for a TD. Repeat that cycle for 3 quarters. Then in the 4th quarter if Kstate is leading, Dimel will start passing on 1st down.

a well-used script there

People "get right" against this team.

Stan, more like FAN
-
11/25 - KU
- Talk about KU's chances vs. K-State's dominance of series. Stan: KU is playing better, but K-State is hitting its stride. Ertz keeps improving and OL is playing very well. K-State is running very well....and, K-State is becoming very efficient in red zone. Scored 35 in second half, on the road......offense coming around and making you say wow.
- K-State not flawless though. Should be respective of KU. Beatty has a little experience now against Bill.
- Nate: Bill has a chance to reach 200. Not just a number, true greatness. Have you seen everyone of them? Yes. Not only have I not missed a game, haven't missed a single play live. That's my claim to fame. Not even Sean can say that.
- He's averaged 8 wins a year during this stretch. Truly amazing.
- SSJ: Talk about KU's improved defense. Stan: Main thing is tackling ability. They are making tackles. They aren't all-stars. Teams at bottom of league don't have a bunch of all-stars. But, their tackling ability is very good. They do have some younger guys that are going to be big time players. You can see where their younger guys are already passing up their older guys.
- Carter Stanley is playing well and he's just young and stupid enough to not know why they can't win. He throws well. He moved the ball against WVU, ISU, and TX. Makes winning plays.
- Score? 39-13 KSU
John Kirby
- How great was TX win? If you could pick any school where you could get most mileage for a win, it'd be TX. Highlights have run all week, mainly because of Charlie Strong. We have had a bunch of Big 12 teams on the ropes this year.......this let kids know they can actually win one.
- SSJ rattles off scores of KU/K-State games.....even if don't win, but can play KSU close, wouldn't that be a moral victory? Absolutely. KU football is a different story than KU basketball. When they start playing teams close, you know the turnaround is getting closer. That's what happened with Mangino and Mason......starting first at just being competitive.
- Nate asked about something called a "black out" today. Kirby: KU will have a walk through today, they will then go visit every single high school in Kansas that is playing in a state championship game tomorrow. Beatty knows importance of recruiting the state of KS.
- Score? KSU 34-14
-
mark this down- ku will not have more than 2 scores (TD or FG) against kansas state tomorrow
-
We will easily score over 40 points.
-
If we only get 34 points then Kstate turned it over at least 3 times, maybe all in the redzone

12/28 - A&M
- What's the feel of the team? Who has advantage, incentive wise? I think it's pretty even. K-State is definitely motivated. Tired of losing bowl games. Those who were around, talk about how fun the BWW bowl win was. But, aTm is motivated because of location. It's like KU playing at Sprint. Crowd will be 3/4 aggies. They can reset and ride that enthusiasm.
- How big will home field advantage be? If K-State can create some doubt in game, I think they can take crowd out of game. There are a lot that are doubting Sumlin. If they lose to K-State, it'll be several years in a row with 5 losses.
- How much is this season just a launching point for next season? Is this year just a springboard? A lot has to do with how Big 12 plays. This year, league was down. But, a win in bowl game would be huge. Would create ton of confidence for next year. They would have had 9 wins (close to 11), with a ton coming back. Losing Moore, Barnett, Willis will be huge. But, 2017 should be better team than 2016. I'm very enthusiastic about 2017, but it's all relative to the rest of teams.
- Talk is always on QB that's going to take over. People talk about Skylar like he's the second coming. Who's going to be the QB next year? First of all, I'm so excited about Skylar Thompson. But, it's an unfair battle. He's going against Jesse Ertz. Look how much improvement has taken place from game 2 to game 10. He's smart, fast, and throws a good ball. It took awhile for me to buy in to Ertz, but I'm a believer. JE will be even better next year with ST behind him. I look at it this way......K-State is totally set for the next FOUR years. Rarely can say that at K-State. Similar to Bishop then to Beasley.
- But, Skylar better be ready because JE has been injury prone. But, K-State fans are going to really come to appreciate Ertz like they did Waters and Klein.
- Does Snyder need to change something to get these younger, better players on field faster? No. Not to me. Snyder is all about improvement and perseverance (development). You can't have it both ways. The younger players won't develop like they need to if they are thrown in there without truly learning the system. So no, I don't think they need to change anything.
- Petro: I think Snyder is the best run game coordinator of all time. I'm amazed at the complexities.
- What does game look like if K-State wins game? aTm is very athletic. Their dominant DE is now healthy. They are physical up front, so no guarantee they will be able to run. So, it won't look good if K-State can't run....gets in 3rd and long.....and pass rush comes full speed. Also, if Trevor plays at his best, they'll be hard to beat. But, he has only 52% completion success.
- If K-State can just get running game going somewhat, play action will be successful. Can't be 3rd and long against them.
On to bball:
- Petro: Yes, they've played cupcakes, but they are dominating. It's too bad they didn't get Maryland. I get why they did schedule.....but, I can't tell what they really are. What do you think this K-State team is? What will record be? I think key is that the players need to think they are good. They've been able to leave Manhattan this year and have success. Good sign. They think they are good. I think they have chance to be in mid-league range and .500 or above record, but they have to go prove it. K-State has to win against TX. Must win, along with most other home games.
- K-State has to find the one guy who will take the last shot. Will probably be Brown.
- I think they'll end the year and be right on bubble, but confident they'll get an invite to tourney.
Final Four:
1. New year's resolution? I don't make them. How can one day be more important than another.
2. How much shopping did you do for family? Zero
3. Which Christmas Mass did you attend? 8:00PM on Christmas Eve.
4. How far do Cowboys go? Super bowl (if win first game, which is 7% - that's where they're most vulnerable).

2. How much shopping did you do for family? Zero
Stan! What a monster!

Spring Game Edition:
- First, what's your thoughts on new AD? So far, very impressed but haven't met yet. Looking forward to doing that this weekend. Seems like nice fit and he knows how to win in football at high level.
- Kaleb Pruett is apparently excelling at MU. Comments on him? Very athletic. That was never an issue. At K-State, he was in learning stages and that part just wasn't coming. Now, it appears he understand the game. He's always had the physical skills.
- How about all these injuries? Going to affect spring game tremendously. They had so much coming back, though, that those that are gone the fans know what they can do. Now, the only real goal of spring game for Snyder is "no injuries." But, he's always just looked at it as a 15th practice anyway.
- SSJ: I'm a big fan of Skylar Thompson watching him right here in KC. You being a QB have to be excited. Stan: Absolutely. He's got all the tools to be special. Tall enough, athletic enough, etc......but he's also put on weight, changed his diet, has all the intangibles, etc. to be very good. He's fully embraced the mental side. He's a winner. You see him on the bball court and he stands out there too.
- But, you go out west, and Delton is their legend. He's ready to go. Just a play-maker. The three QB's are going to battle...and battle hard.
- K-State really has a chance to be very special. Look at their ending....third best in program history. They have the things in place to be very excited about and to be right there in discussion for Big 12 Championship. I think the under/over at 9.5 is pretty accurate.
-
SFSD edition:
- How does K-State rebound from very tough, emotional loss? (Stan basically recaps OU game, which was not the question, then....). Definitely painful, but Snyder will focus on improvement made in the game...not on the pain. But, Snyder is tired of losing and there's a lot up in the air. If play well tomorrow, can then point back to OU game for maybe where things turned around.
- How about Barnes not getting more carries? Yes, on surface, not enough runs. But, you get into the strategy of the game and how well Mike knows our offense, it's a chess match. I don't care who runs the ball when you rush for 270 yards in the first half. Scoring 35 points against OU and it's hard to spend too much time arguing over who should be running the ball. Snyder will handle very quickly. He'll will have went and talked to Barnes immediately about situation. Bottom line, the production was there.
- Sunflower showdown....KU is struggling so much and K-State has dominated series....how will Snyder get guys to not overlook KU? He'll motivate them by reminding them how much they need to improve. He'll show them some film of the WVU game where KU played a good first half. And, he'll remind them of the streak and how it needs to continue.
- Prediction? Well there are 49 players from KS on KSU, 23 on KU. 38-13 K-State.
(John Kirby recap)
- KU has been able to pull some upsets in past, but has always struggled against K-State. How do you explain? (1) K-State has just been better and (2) Snyder's biggest game is against KU and KU's biggest game was MU (yes, he said it). Snyder has always gotten up for the game more.
- But, KU does have a mental block when they see those K-State uniforms.
- When trying to rebuild team and then you have performance like TCU, how does beatty motivate? Defense is starting to show some signs, so you start there. They've played real well last couple weeks. Offensive line is really where the struggles are. Lots of shuffling and there's no consistency. They are learning on the fly.
- Beatty has said he looks at Snyder for how to build a program. How does what he's going through compare to early Snyder's years? Really not much different than what Mason did or what Mangino did.....maybe more like Mason's situation. So, it hasn't been easy, but you hope to see progress. There was last year, but not so much yet this year.
- Daniel Wise calling people out for their effort....how will that impact team? I don't think it was that bad. I was sitting right there. Body language not that bad.....didn't sound as bad as actual quote when you just read it.
- Prediction? 31-14 K-State.

WTF? He hasn't coached here in 20 years, how in the hell could he know our offense better than any other conference DC?

lol agreed and holy crap if he knows it so so well why couldn't he stop it? we stopped ourselves their adjustments didn't really do anything
-
Stan is really slipping in his old age
-
I think any competent DC would do the same thing against our offense. Load the box, single coverage on the receivers. Repeat at least until KSU scores.

I imagine his seven years or so at K-State is still helpful to him in knowing our offense, even if it was about twenty years ago. But also, how many current Big 12 schools have defensive coordinators that have been in place since 2012? Off the top of my head, the only one that comes close is Patterson (de facto defensive coordinator) at TCU.
I don't think Stan's statement was all that ridiculous.

lol
-
FWIW, I don't remember our offense being anything similar to what we ran 20 years ago. I think we're on Book of Revelation in the ol' Playbook at this point.
-
St John has a raging boner for hoops now that Mizzou isn't going to be total crap. So he led off with basketball
- Encouraged by the fact that the team seems to be pulling in one direction. Not surprised to see Kansas State picked 8th in the Big 12. Normally puts you on the fringe of making the NCAA tournament. Team hasn't fared well in close games over the last couple seasons. Hopefully experience (Wade, Brown, Stokes) will help in that department. Stan still bullish on Cats making the NCAA tournament
- Kam Stokes needs to be a more consistent player. He's battled injuries throughout his career. Hopefully he can stay healthy and start stringing together more "complete" games. Xavier Sneed will take a leap forward. He got really tentative after Big 12 play started last season. Started focusing on not making mistakes rather than just playing. Team will surpass expectations if Claws plays to his full potential
- FOOTBALL! Stan picked KSU 38-37 last week. Was hoping that the team would see that its hard work/preparation will ultimately translate into victories. They got just that. After back to back road wins, he expects to see a team playing closer to its ceiling.
- Skylar not necessarily the guy moving forward. Delton has played well in his last three starts. Weird to see a starting QB only play one half in each of the last two games. Maintained that we have three options at QB (I'd say maybe 1.5). Could be either Thompson or Delton starting tomorrow... But Thompson is the future
- West Virginia offense is very explosive. David Sills, who committed to USC as a QB when he was 13, is a touchdown machine at WR. Will Grier one of the most physically gifted quarterbacks in the conference. WVU challenges your defense in a variety of ways
Stanbot says Cats 30 Moonshiners 27
-
Did Stan not take into account Delton getting knocked out of both games the past two weeks?
-
Sounds like Stan is 'sketti brained too.
-
Did Stan not take into account Delton getting knocked out of both games the past two weeks?
Acted like nothing happened. Didn't say the word injury or concussion :blindfold:
-
- Normally we would talk about game, but what about The Report? First of all, I haven't confirmed any of this. But, assuming true, I love Jim Leavitt. I have stayed in touch with. He's a great, modern coach. Did awesome at Colorado, and is really having a good year on the defensive side at Oregon this year despite Oregon's struggles otherwise.
- Stan: Who knows who was in charge and may have done this, but I think it may have been an insurance policy not knowing how Coach Snyder would handle the cancer. So, by buying the insurance, they did nothing but cover themselves without knowing the future of Bill. I believe when news broke about coach, they may have reached out to make sure Jim was ready to slide in.....and if Bill's ok, it only cost them $3MM to cover themselves.
- About Snyder saying say that about Sean? No surprise. He's said that publicly to support his son. As far as not agreeing with the plan, I could see Snyder saying "we don't need no HCIW around here."
- Does this affect Coach's decision to retire or not? I think it could. I really don't think he's decided, but I do think this will go into the evaluation. Yes, I do think there's a chance (but, he didn't say how or which way)
- What do you think will happen? I don't know. We have new AD. I don't know how involved Meyers was involved in any of this. But, this does feel like 2004.
- I thought going into this year, that if K-State played well this year and had a good year, no reason why he wouldn't come back. I thought going into the year that if they didn't, Snyder would internalize, blame himself, and step away.
- For example, listen to post game. He's extremely frustrated. He's putting all blame on himself. He says it's his fault.....for example he mentions we have to improve tackling.....and he has nothing to do with tackling in practice. So, probably depends on how year finishes.
- Key to Saturday? Have to get TO's. Only chance. But, against WVU, still didn't take advantage of. But, K-State seems to play OSU close....and OSU hasn't been world beaters at home this year.
- Have to convert on 3rd down. Yards per game (play?) are the same as last year......but biggest difference is 3rd down conversion rate.
-
3rd down coversions: 2016 45.4% 2017 31.6%
Good point.
Also, probably related, is points per drive inside the 40.
Redzone scoring relates.
Last year we scored 92% of the time in the RZ, 69% of RZ scoreds were TDs.
This we score 82% of the time in the RZ, 57% are TDs.
-
3rd down coversions: 2016 45.4% 2017 31.6%
I wish there was a stat showing 2016vs2017 3rd and shorts vs 3rd and longs.. I feel the majority of the year we've been looking at 3rd and 5+ yards and that's not what this offense has been built for
-
Why do I not know what “The Report” is?

That is very true, and lot of that is our dumbass play calling.
-
i didn't listen but based on those notes stan was a little more open than i figured he would be.
-
- Best thing you had to eat yesterday? Mashed Potatoes and gravy
- Nate: Start Bball....tough one last night. Familiar finish. Give me your thoughts. Stan: Crazy game. 15 3-pt. makes. Scored 90 and lost. First time since 1988. Could not get a defensive stop at all. The kids that are now juniors, couldn't make play down stretch. Winning close games is very important to programs like K-State.....and haven't been able to get this done last couple years.
- Bottom line, could take some positives and negatives from game. But, it's a loss, nobody will remember how it went down.
- Nate: I agree, K-State didn't get a favorable whistle. But, K-State also took so many threes, so not going to get as many whistles. Stan: I agree. It's not the lack of fouls on ASU. Can't say ASU should of been called for more fouls. But, K-State is a good defensive team and you just don't know what is a foul and what isn't sometimes. You just don't know what is allowed and what isn't. End of the day, probably makes a difference, but K-State didn't make plays, Stokes didn't hit shot, down stretch.
- After game, I go have thanksgiving meal with all these guys.....they are down. They are sick. It was not a fun night.
- Tell me about football. What are you looking forward to most? Excited about some traditional football. Won't be a game in the 50's. Good defense, ST's, and tough, old school offense. ISU this year = classic example of ISU executing K-State way of playing football better than K-State.
- But, ISU has trouble with K-State. KSU nine in a row. Sort of like the years when K-State and Nebraska were pretty even, but never could beat NU. Until ISU beats K-State, they'll have doubt.
- If K-State loses four in a row at home, will be hard to believe.
- Stan then goes into long rant (I guess to the naysayers) about how great LHC Bill Snyder is and how he thinks he's going to coach for a few more years......was an odd ending.
-
-What impressed you most about win? Had to fight through adversity. Everyone told you that K-State was going to win, vs. 6-6 team, without QB, against a team that can't stop run, etc. UCLA is athletic, came out and brought it, and was hard to deal with. Down 17-7. They had a coach with nothing to lose, going for it on 4th, fake punts, etc. Then, kept grinding, turned it around, and broke their will to notch their largest margin of bowl victory against a P5 opponent.
-QB situation.....what do you think heading into 2018? Delton has ton of confidence. He believes he's the guy. But, Thompson is just so promising and just a frosh. This is hard to say, but I think they'll be a one-two punch. I think they'll use the two QB approach to lesson the wear and tear on the position. They are both competitive, but team guys. They'll push each other for sure.
-Any idea how long before we know about Snyder, because if nothing else he has to name OC, etc.? He could very well have everything lined up. Position coaches and all......and just not have told anyone. He's just quiet like that. I think, just like running down the play clock, he'll run it all the way down until someone throws the flag (ADGT) and demands an answer. Also, 2nd signing period coming up comes into play. With all that said, I think it'll be sometime in January. (he sounded like he really didn't have a clue one way or the other)
-Big 12 BB starts tonight. Thoughts about tonight? Interesting game. You have to go try and find road games somewhere. But, more pressure on ISU. You just have to hold serve at home. Will be interesting to see if K-State can sneak in quietly, cold Friday night, ISU bowl game in morning, and steal a win. K-State has to have 3-4 of the big four play well.....not good enough to have more than one of their four main guys have off game.
-But, if you don't win at ISU, then you come home against WVU, same time as OU football game, with frigid temps and students gone. That's not setting up well for the home team either.
-
pretty funny a home game against a top 10 team has questionable attendance because of an OU football game, but i'd rather watch the football game also so, maybe not that funny
-
I will be watching the football game.
-
what a difference a few years make. it's just 2017 and we're now all really hoping to "sneak" a win from one of if not the worst team in the conference and making up excuses for why nobody will be at the big12 home opener against a top 10 team coached by former kstate coach bob huggins.

-Too much Dallas Cowboy/KC Chiefs talk to begin with (SSJ initiated).
-Too much time talking about Stan's nephew and HS football (Nate initiated). But, Stan's nephew is a starting DE for one of the Shawnee Mission teams - - legacy recruit?
-SSJ: Breakdown the QB situation. Stan: Defying all odds, these guys have not separated since Ertz went down. Injuries took care of some of it, but they really are neck and neck. But, they get along great and they are pulling in the same direction. Delton has really picked up his game, and Thompson has ton of confidence with two 4th quarter come-backs of 10 point deficits or more.
-I really think the players and coaches are indifferent about who's in there. The play calling will be very similar.
-How about Dalvin Warmack? Getting down to a player's last year, you seem to have a different focus. Dalvin has done that this past year. He got a new running back coach, so that re-shuffles the deck. Silmon is not playing bad, but Dalvin has different set of skills. Could be a breakout year, but also should be a great year for Barnes.
-What's game-plan for Saturday? It'll be walk before you run......basic and fundamentally sound. Then ramp it up as they go.
-Prediction for record? I expect an 8 win team (8-4).
-
-How good is WVU? Good.....really good on offense. Lots of weapons. WR group brings lots of diversity. Five OL starters are back.
-Defensive side is question. Lots of transfers. Big time recruits that have transferred in. They're good, but I don't think dominant like an OU.
-What will game-plan be? Try to keep up offensively or ball control? K-State still sorting things out. So far, haven't shown run game to control clock and shorten the game.
-WVU has never scored more than 28 against K-State. Some of that is because of K-State's ball control, some has been just good K-State defensive performances.
-It's been hard to predict this series. K-State has been favored and lost.....WVU has been favored and lost. But, I think WVU is clicking too well on offense and wins 34-24.
-
thank you for your hard work blast
-
Dang, Stanbot predicted a 10-point loss??
-
No way the Cats keep it within 10. I see more of a Miss St type of outcome.

When does he do this recap? Notes if anyone heard it.
-
-small talk for about 5 minutes.....
-Your Top 4 coming out of HS? K-State, Wyoming, Oklahoma State, Kansas (some things never change, lol)
-Your view on QB position? Neither has played well enough to be successful. (unprovoked, went on to say.....) If someone transfers, it doesn't matter. If you were good enough to be QB1, then there would be no issues. You would of got the job done and there wouldn't of been any worries about losing your job. But Skylar didn't play well enough.....and it's time to make a switch.
-This year's K-State team hasn't come together. Things don't feel right. Seems like season is tanking. But, last time there was this much pessimism around the program was after last year's home loss to WVU. Team was .500. Fans thought the year was over. They went on road to beat OSU. Don't know if that will happen again, but we've definitely been here before.
-So, if nothing else, Snyder's teams will keep grinding.
-But right now, there's nothing to rely on, especially on offense. Special teams, passing, rushing, who QB is......nothing.
-Prediction? It's been a crazy series. TX is 1-8 in Manhattan with 5 straight losses. K-State will find some kind of magic and win 27-24.
-
If Stanbot is talking about Skyler transferring, it has to be a thing.
-
Jesus, Delton hasn't "gotten" the job either. He sucks butt .
One read and spazz out in the pocket and just throw up crap.
-
I do agree with Stan that the last two years have been troubling, very non-Snyder like. I think last year everyone blamed Dimel and Snyder’s health. This year the “new coordinators” seem to be getting the blame (though many were happy for ththe change). We will see tomorrow, but the Cats got to get it turned around in a hurry.
-
Saw Nate Bukaty tonight at Snowball for Catholic charities. He was having fun, I was having fun, and before I left I said “Hey Nate!” And then shook my program in his face. He wasn’t amused by it much, but did high five me while rolling his eyes. I think that crap still bothers him.
-
:lol:

I enjoyed that

I honestly thought he would laugh it off, but he seemed quite annoyed by it. Oh well, yolo!

-What will KU look like without Pooka? Well, both teams without their best offensive players coming into the season. Both Skylar and Pooka were the featured players on their respective pre-season magazine covers.
-But, just like last year with Heurbert (sp?), I really like the back up.....Gardner. More rushes, more yards. In a one back set, Gardner is actually the better back. Obviously, you'd like both...especially in a two back set. But, down after down back, Gardner brings more energy and is the better back.
-Nate: As a KU alum, I'm frustrated with the lack of attention paid to local players.
-Stan: Kansas has 27 players from state of KS.....and most of those won't even travel. They suit out only at home. Only one starter from Kansas. K-State.....61 players from Kansas and 10 starters are from KS. That doesn't include the kicker and punter. They are both from KS. They honor the rivalry. Of those 61, not many wanted to go to KU. They wanted to go to the real football school. They wanted to go to K-State, where the fans actually care about football. So, the narrative about being upset about being overlooked by ku is really only being used to further fire up the players.
