With a 9 game conference season, what will it take to win this league? Will 7 wins do it this year? Also, who benefits most from the reduced practice schedule? Is there a "system" or "style" that will have an edge?
If the Cats are again the loan "run heavy" team this year, and practices are muted as compared to prior years, does our physical offensive approach help us?

With only 3 P5 conference's playing you have to assume that a 9-2 Big12 Champion will be invited to the CFB Playoffs right?!?!

Are we still playing the big12 championship game presented by Dr Pepper? I think we can go 7-2 in big12 play and then head down to Dallas and kick some rough riding faces in to win the Big12.

what is everybody doing with their STH money? Just seeing if you can get into any games or rolling it to next year immediately?
Haven't made a final decision yet, but likely rolling it to next year. I want to see what options the AD gives me. They've been taking my money since June though so we'll see.

OU's top running back opted out, and second string has to sit for the first 4 games. So, we get their third string RB. How much will that help us? :dunno:
The real question is do they have a Heisman caliber QB again or not.

I already forgot that we have a week off between our first 2 games. Really hoping the season lasts until we can smack OU around then it gets called off and we claim ourselves as champions based off our impressive resume.

from all accounts they expect very little, if any, of a drop-off at QB at OU. This kid was the #1 high school QB in america and he has not disappointed their coaches. Their OL returns all 5 starters. I just hope the QB isnt the runner that Hurts was. The runners are very difficult to contain. If we could put a couple big hits on the young QB maybe he gets rattled. they have had veteran QBs every year Riley has been there.I mean, maybe. Definitely can't discount they are pretty much QB U. At same time they are used to Heisman level type production. A lot to ask of a young dude.

And is the difference maker IMO playing OU. If it's Hurts/Mayfield, worried, if it's a Landry, not so much.

(According to The Athletic)
Quote
Kansas State
When we talk about chaos agents, we’re talking about stuff like Kansas State 48, Oklahoma 23. That’s the lead the Wildcats took early in the fourth quarter when those teams met last October. That wild afternoon and stunning 48-41 upset of the Big 12 champs in Manhattan sent an unmistakable message to the rest of the conference: K-State is going to remain a real challenger with Chris Klieman leading the way. They’re continuing that longtime LHC Bill Snyder tradition of being the team nobody enjoys playing.
The Wildcats looked like a 6-6 team on paper going into 2019 and won eight games. They played in seven games decided by one-score margins and went 4-3. This year, they were picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 by conference media. They’re probably in for a lot more of those close battles in 2020.
Skylar Thompson is back at quarterback for his senior season. He has an intriguing young cast of skill players. He’s got Northern Iowa transfer Briley Moore, his longtime buddy, who could be a difference-maker at tight end. He’s supported by a defense that will feature a bunch of new starters and a new coordinator, but the Wildcats ranking No. 2 nationally in third-down defense last season reflects this staff quickly figuring out how to play smart defense in the Big 12. The big question mark is probably the five new starters on the offensive line. If they’re inconsistent up front, that’s going to make life tougher.
But Kansas State’s schedule is not very front-loaded. There’s a viable path to starting 5-1 going into a Nov. 7 home game against Oklahoma State that kicks off a tough stretch run. They’re scheduled to play the Cowboys, Iowa State, Baylor and Texas over their final four games. Many of those games could seriously alter the conference race. But first up in Big 12 play? Oklahoma. The Sooners are going to get a light, easy scrimmage against Missouri State to start off. Spencer Rattler’s first Big 12 start is a home game, yes, but don’t assume it’ll be easy.

We always were a bunch of racist bastards, we just didn't know it. and don't ever forget it, gayhawks.

I'm bet she pulled the goalie to make sure lil kyckball was born during football season in order to give herself an uninterrupted basketball season.
Wacky better put his foot down now and demand that the next kyckball be born during bball season to even things out.

Don't they make them spread out at classes? I mean I get it they are going to house parties anyways. I'd assumed they would have put markers where they could sit and where they couldn't in the stadium.
