Kansas State Football / Re: Are we going to be competitive @ Norman tomorrow?

I vote we just sit the entire first team.  If any starters get hurt, this game will be a disaster.  Success is merely judged by health after this one.

So the worst Nebraska team in modern history just beat PJ Fleck by 3 touchdowns.

Yep

I think dogs dream stuff they haven't experienced yet.

My dogs seem to be dreaming about something exciting, fairly frequently.  I bet it's something like chasing the neighbor's dog or a squirrel or something.   Those are things they wish they could do, and seem to occupy a lot of their barking time during the day.  Probably weighs heavy on them when they sleep.  So, that's stuff they haven't experienced, I guess.

I'm reading some sci fi thing right now that's really good. don't remember the name or author. or even a word that would be easily google'able (left wing fucks) to be able to say what it is but I'll get off my kindle later and post tomorrow if I remember.

Guess what I am not going to do?  I am not going to read through the email chain you just copied me in on.

Also, unless you tell me in the first two sentences what you want from me, then I am going to ignore it.  Should be first sentence, but I am trying to be more tolerant of others.

Whoops

In a taped conversation that was not allowed into evidence today, Adidas' Merl Code and Kansas asst Kurtis Townsend discuss the recruitment of Zion Williamson, who wound up at Duke. In arguing for admission, a transcript was read by Code defense atty Mark Moore. (thread)

I don't understand why some of you blatantly want a dirty program. This site constantly baffles me

Sports is a rough ridin' entertainment business.  If it’s not entertaining me, it can GTFOOMF.  So, there is no such thing as a dirty program.  I am either entertained or I am not entertained.

« on: October 12, 2018, 06:19:39 PM »

They won't get the death penalty, but if they did, it would be a perfect excuse to swap them out for someone else.

HOWEVER, I think the most likely scenario around getting rid of Baylor (and none are even close to reality) is that we would simply drop them and go to 9 teams...and back to the glorious 4 non-conference games.

Some chemo patients do complain of temporary dementia like problems.  Did Bill have chemo in 2004 and 2005 as well?

Cats football doesn't make me sad, per se.  I am enjoying the drama, and I sense that it's just getting started. 

oscar Weber makes me sad.  Someday, I'll be able to watch Cats basketball again....I keep telling myself that, but I doubt I'll still care by the time that happens.

Before anyone gives us the whole "Well Iowa State beat Oklahoma State so that means we can beat Oklahoma State" thing, let's just acknowledge that ISU beating OSU most likely means that ISU is all the more probable in whipping our ass in Ames.

A bowl game would set this program back 5 years.

Essentially Flyertalk / Stuff you discovered way later than most people

« on: October 06, 2018, 07:39:00 AM »

I just discovered something that everyone else knew about, and it made me wonder if this happens to other people as much as it happens to me. 

I was just introduced to Soundcloud rappers.  Wow.  What a delightful mix of terminally mumped up youth. Like, I didn't think it would get worse than the gangster rap that my friends I listened to in the 90's, but yep, it got worse!  Tip of the hat to these soundcloud youngsters!  Holy eff, those people are beyond messed up.  My favorite is 69 (obvs), but this lil pump song can't get out of my head, and the way he walks around with a tiger and drinking lean doing the pot and super cars and in a school, holy cow!

I must admit, I don't actively listen to anything that was made after 2000, except like the "coffee house" station on XM.

Kansas State Football / Win Baylor game or no bowl game?

« on: October 06, 2018, 07:26:19 AM »

With two wins under our belt, and 7 games remaining, it's getting iffy on bowl eligibility.  It would seem to me, that including this week, we only have 4 games in which we will be less than a touchdown underdog.  If we lose to Baylor, it certainly means we are going to have to win a surprising upset later to stay bowl eligible.

Results:
W - 9/1/18 vs. South Dakota
L - 9/8/18 vs. Mississippi State
W - 9/15/18 vs. UTSA
L - 9/22/18 @ WVU
L - 9/29/18 vs. Texas

Remaining Games:
underdog - 10/6/18 @ Baylor
underdog - 10/13/18 vs. Oklahoma State
underdog - 10/27/18 @ Oklahoma
underdog  - 11/3/18 @ TCU
FAVORED - 11/10/18 vs. Kansas
underdog  - 11/17/18 vs. Texas Tech
underdog  - 11/24/18 @ Iowa State

Put another way, lose to Baylor and we're mumped.

There's a chance that the recently schedule 10/27 Bethune-Cookman matchup will be their only shot a victory this year.  However, Bethune-Cookman is FCS, so it would seem that there is a legit chance that Nebraska has zero FBS victories this year. 

Heck, I think we could beat them.
