Be butthurt all you want but a. That was  stud answer and b. He's got a valid point.

Yeah, knocking off TCU and winning 3 of the 4 of @BAY, @TEX, KU, and ISU is a stretch.  But it'd be great.

A real question to be asking, is do we still have a shot at the NIT?   I think barring a freak winning streak we are hitting combo season early this year.

0 thru 2/5 No NIT       3/5 NIT          4/5  NCAA

*Might* be able to steal one in KC too

Heart-shaped frosted cookies w/no words on them and an icing tube can be had pretty cheap, no?  Those of you going to the game should bring a bunch of your own w/your emaw hoops thoughts icing'd on them and disburse to those who couldn't make it in time to get one of oscar's 2K.

Am planning on this, actually.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: Somewhat unfounded rumor, but hey I'll put it in writing (Nigel related)

« on: February 13, 2015, 11:09:14 AM »

Nigel strikes me as having more talent than he's showing, almost like he's withholding his desire to compete out of resentment or something. Jevon, on the other hand, I feel like is playing right in line with his potential

I think so too. He was a volume scorer in high school, whereas Jevon has always been pass-first (and we've seen how well that's turning out). Still not sure either one deserves a roster spot next year, tho.

With fan turnout starting to dwindle at home games, we need an additional attraction.  We could have razzle mania after the game.  oscar could put on tights and a mask and rassle the refs.  We could invite Frank back as a rabid killer from the east.  What would oscar's rasslin name be?

Bramlage has been full the last two games

Kansas State Football / Re: K-State vs Auburn - Serious Game Discussion Thread (No Bullshit)

« on: September 15, 2014, 10:36:49 AM »

I honestly expect a close, hard fought game that is still in question when the 4th quarter begins.  My gut tells me that Auburn then pulls away and goes on for a 14-17 point win, but who knows really?  Weather can play a huge factor as well.  You guys haven't yet seen anything like our heat and humidity team speed.  I don't say that to be cocky, just that Malzahn is just a damn beast when it comes to running the HUNH offense. I was amazed myself watching the 2009 team when he first cam in as the OC.  It's something that you have to prepare a long time for and Arkansas may have had the best shot of anyone yet.  They kept them under 50...

Perhaps your offense will seem to be in slow motion to our youngsters.  A quick search of the web turned up: http://247sports.com/Article/Looking-at-the-pace-of-play-in-college-football-fastest-teams-29893036

It seems that Tech (#1) & Baylor(#6) both were in the top 6 of plays per game, with UT at #21 while Auburn failed to make the top 25.  Also, as to actual "pace" or time it takes to snap the ball, Tech was #2, Baylor #4 and UT #20... Again, no Auburn.

It's funny you mention arky though... We are getting WAY more out of that game scout than you could ever imagine.   

It just sucks that we have to wait another week to find out who is right.

Truest thing posted so far. While I try not to scoff at your 14-17 point victory prediction, I think it's important to know that we didn't lose any games by more than 10 points last year and I'm of the belief that OU, Okie Lite and Baylor were all better teams than Auburn last year.

Statistical analysis of last season (I know, that's last season...) shows that our teams were almost dead even in '13.  Where you guys had a couple miraculous wins and some real luck at aggy, we were the polar opposite when it came to getting breaks at the end of games.   Our 8-5 was just as close to being 11-2 as your 12-2 was to being 9-5 if that makes sense.

LOL. a team that lost to 4-8 West Virginia and a team that was handled by Missouri (a team Auburn defeated by 17) was better than Auburn? Okay. And Baylor? LOL. Please... they gave up more than half a hundred to Central Florida, a team that was beaten (at home, no less) by an SEC team that didn't even reach the SEC title game. Baylor is fine when they go up against bad teams. They score 70 routinely. But they are pretty mediocre when they go up against top flight competition, or teams with just really good athletes. Oklahoma embarrassed them. Even Texas beat them.

I guess you can make the argument that Oklahoma was better than Auburn, but I guess I missed their BCS National Championship game apperance.

Facts are hard. Oklahoma State was their only regular season loss. They throttled OU and handled UT.

heres the thing...  GM's coaching staff seems to be different than AU staffs of the past.. they now seem to be able to actually develop the talent they are getting.  I would hope this also translates to not looking at this as your run of the mill OOC game.

Besides that, Im very happy with our special teams.  Obviously last year had some nice surprises, and we seem to have a great punter as well.

What are your predictions as far as running vs passing on AU?

Hopefully it will make sense this way... Do you think your kids are approaching this game with the same intensity as say, the Iron Bowl? the SEC CCG? the BCS game?  I have it on good authority that our kids are, which IMHO, gives us a reasonable edge in preparation.

As for predictions for what we'll do running vs passing on AU... The belief is that you have faster athletes and anybody that's ever been around football know you run straight at speed, which happens to coincide with what we are best at in the running game.  LHCBS will seek balance in the offense and will exploit any edge we have or deficiency he can find in your defensive tapes with our passing game.

I suspect you don't have anybody on the roster that can cover #16.  If it makes you feel any better, he made a fourth round & first round corner look foolish last fall & totaling 12 REC, 278 YDS, 3 TD vs OU (Colvin) and 8 REC, 123 YDS, 1 TD vs TCU (Verrett)

Verrett still hasn't found him

It's very hard to believe Edwards is going to be better than Marcus or that he is one of our most athletic players ever. I'm gonna go in thinking he is good for about 7 pts and 2 Rebs a game and if he does anything better it will be a nice surprise for me.  Good luck to all of you who think he's going to be our best player.

I would be extremely shocked if it's not much closer to 12 & 6 per game.

I ran the simulation and ended up with 11.7 and 4.8 with a standard deviation of 27.6%

Told ya

I can't name one player in the history of time for K-State that subs in late in a game to chuck up threes who doesn't play regular minutes. This will be a wait and see process.

I'm not ready to oscar off Tre by any means. He is not a Jack Krap. Did we reach in offering him? Maybe, but we didn't get another commit to move out Jack so I don't see it as a big deal having him on the squad. I have confidence in this staff to cut people loose if we need to open up scholly space.

He won't be next year.

I'm not sure. As bad he looked last season, it sounds like the staff still loves his game. His HS highlight tape isn't terrible either.

The one with the closeup of him tying his shoes?

Yeah! I thought he demonstrated tremendous athleticism

being athletic doesnt necessarily mean you have to be an awesome dunker (beas could throw that crap down so it doesnt even matter)

True, although that's usually a pretty decent indicator. Should be a fun season regardless of all that, tho.

Harmon, you just discredited everything you said in this thread, and probably everything you've ever said in your life.

I never said Beaz couldn't get up, I just personally would give JE the slight edge. Walker and (since I totally forgot about him) Judge were likely the two most athletic guys at KSU in my lifetime. I guess I just don't remember Beaz throwing down insane reverse alley oops in games...

It is. He also might well be the most athletic guy in an EMAW uniform that I've ever personally seen.

Michael Beasley and Bill Walker played here. You sure about that statement still?

Notice I said "might." Beasley wasn't necessarily jump out of the gym athletic...I think he would give Walker a run for his money as well.

I hesitate to call Tre Harris a DITR, but I am leaning towards the possibility that Ol' oscar found another good baller who was being over looked.

He reminds me of a more athletic, less offensively talented Fred Brown in person.
