Best player? Who? I saw OSU twice early on this year, and their entire team--including 9th-year senior The Boy Who Loved Clowns--looked like utter garbage.

That being said: seriously, when was the last time we won there?

I suppose a lot of that is based on potential. Nash is supposed to be really good.

My senior year of high school; Ski/Beane/DC and Altman beat OSU in Stillwater. January 9th, 1993 in OT.

True story: A young uwcatfan and his family had just moved to NC from KS, and my godfather mailed us the tape of this game. We watched it as a family on a Friday night (a week after it happened) and I told my dad "This is better than the movies." Also, I remember the game recap from the AP wire called us the "Cardiac Cats." Ah, pre-internet days...

Heslip and Jackson are probably the key to the game. Tay Tay and the Doc (and whoever else guards Jackson and Heslip) are going to have to do well.

containing heslip, limiting their o boards and keeping our ftr reasonable. i expect a double digit win.

Predictos like this do nothing to quell my EMAW and high expectations for the rest of the year.

Agreed. Was also running over the odds of going undefeated at the OOD in confy play after Sunvold mentioned it Saturday. Seem pretty doable, yet we've never done it before, and the stumbling blocks (as you mentioned) have often been inferior teams in the FM era. Maybe this is the year.

It's very early to start thinking about an undefeated home season. History suggests it will not happen, especially when you add in an extra confy home game this year.

Home records vs current B12 teams under FM:

Baylor 1-1
ISU 3-1
KU 2-2
MU 5-0
OU 1-1
OSU 1-1
aTm 2-0
UT 1-1
TTU 2-0

Total 18-7 (72%)

Kenpom gives KSU a 9.95% chance of going undefeated at home in the remaining 8 games
If we beat Baylor Tuesday, the odds jump up to around 16.5%

Thanks for the breakdown. True that it's very early to look ahead, and I might still be riding the crest of Saturday's game. Still, I'm going to be feeling very good about this team if we can get it done Tuesday.

It will be a fun game. Baylor is playing the best defense they've ever played under Drew. They've really only had one road win of signficance since Drew has been there, winning at Texas in 2010, so beating us in Manhattan would be a pretty big deal for them. Plus they were one of Frank's traditional shake your head home losses in 09.

Is it wrong of me to expect to win? I mean, I just don't see any circumstance in which Scott Drew pulls it out in the OOD, and yet, and yet, it's like I'm still so scarred from Tan Tom and Wooly that I can't believe we're a consistently top 25 program who wins these type of game regularly.

OSU, because all my friends (and students) got so sick of sucking on 9-6 they switched over to us! ksu wild wild cat indoctrination was never stronger.

Yes, would like to know about zombie formation as well, though would still like to see how we got Harp for the TD, Sexton loose for 30, plus multiple PIs.
