Kansas State Football / Re: Football Recruiting Thread

I'm really excited about Prewett...you know how some of these guys just don't seem to stand out much even from high school competition when you watch their highlights?  He's not one of those.  He's clearly playing at a level above most of the other guys on the field.

Kansas State Football / Re: ALERT: Be careful with WVU fans next weekend

I'll be at the game with a WVU coworker who brings back moonshine every year when he visits his family. We infuse and then drink it at the office. I'm happy with the arrangement.

Individually, each one of those games looks winnable. But all together?  No, we will not win all six. I mean, just look at the math.

Odds of beating:
WVU 65%
ISU 75%
Tech 50%
TCU 65%
OU 50%
KU 80%

I created these percentages out of thin air. I assumed (and I don't necessarily think it's true) that we have at least a 50/50 chance in every game. I tried to be optimistic in the odds for the rest of the games.

Given these percentages, the likelihood that we win out is about 6%. SIX percent guys. It's not going to happen.

We can still win enough to make a bowl game. It's a long shot, but it is doable. The four games that I think are most winnable are WVU, ISU, TCU, KU. The odds we win all four is about 25%. Not a great chance, but it's possible.

50/50 chance...no crap. any team has a 50/50 chance in any game....either you win or you don't.

 :ROFL: at KU having a 50/50 chance in any of their remaining games.

sorta like saying "there's a 80% chance of rain." wrong, it's 50%, either it's going to rain or it's not.

Pretty sure you are simply referring to the fact that all probabilities must add up to 1 (100%). Since we are talking about neither soccer nor the NFL, it is 100% likely that K-State will either win or lose each of its remaining games. Doesn't mean the odds of the Cats winning each individual game are 50/50.

Edit: if I am wrong please PM me ASAP so I can start buying lottery tickets right meow.

Hit was dirty under the rules, its a shame the refs missed such an obvious call. At min it should have been 15.  Gif shows what could be ejectable targeting.

if the roles were reversed you'd say it was a clean hit

Your posting is just so crap-tastic it needs to be recognized.

Glad you are recognizing it...so many of his arguments seem to come down to 'you aren't able to see this objectively, but I am.'

If I could toot my own horn, I'd never leave the house.

This day is all aces for me. I went to the vending machine to get a Mr. Pibb to drink with my lunch and when they refreshing beverage vended it also came with a free Dasani. Two drinks for the price of one bitches.

That's awesome, no doubt, but Dasani sucks.

Hey, I learned something, I thought we lost in the second round.

As for Lawrence, bash it all you want.  It's a great place to go to school.  The economy does suck if you're looking for a post-graduate job, but it's a fun college town with some character, and it has a really cool vibe.  An economic study isn't going to look favorably on a place like Lawrence, though, because there's no military base to give it long-term stability and the medical center is in KC.  The economy centers around KU and Mass Street, basically.

I know what you're saying here, and I don't totally disagree - the med center would help with the numbers if it were in Lawrence.  But, it also wouldn't be nearly the medical center it is if it were in Lawrence.

I believe that's called a Panacea.

It's a bad injury, but he'll make a fine recovery. Probably faster than a torn ACL actually.

Exactly what crossed my mind at the time.  I snapped my radius in an on-field collision but bent the ulna out of shape; because of that second fact, doctors told me it was a freak injury with no surefire way to treat it.  Sure enough, three surgeries later, they were right - my wrist will always be jacked up.  Point is, everyone kept telling me I would have been much better off if both bones had broken initially.

Ware obviously snapped both bones in his leg, which means they at least have a chance to grow back together at the same time.  Once his bones heal, he should have much more confidence on his leg than someone returning from an ACL tear (where you never again feel like you're truly 100%).

The way it happened though it makes me wonder if there's something else going on, like that baseball pitcher whose upper arm kept snapping, and then they found out he had bone cancer.

Jacob Pullen totally turned the K-State Basketball program around in every way possible.....not Frank Martin, Bob Huggins or Jonathan Beasley..

......think about that........

I don't know, I've always thought he never received the attention he deserved for helping turn our basketball program around.

Why are they so worried that responding will make them look arrogant? Seems like an odd concern, and yet 3 or 4 of them mention it.

Also I'm not sure they really know what a troll is.

65
Good luck getting those types of calls In the tourney beemer


KU has beaten K-State 47 of the last 50 times.  You're saying it's because of officiating? 


 :confused:

Straw man.

I'm super excited that I have to read this idiot post on gE again.  KU will beat the Clones by 10-14 points tonight.  The Hawks will be motivated to show that they are the far superior team.  Plus I have a hard time imagining the Clones hit 17 3's again.

I agree with your conclusion but I disagree with your reasoning.  Iowa State was/is built to shoot threes...I'd be willing to bet Iowa State makes 17 threes again before Elijah Johnson scores 39.

All this tells me is that we're going to have to BLOW THEM OUT to beat them on the road.  They are pretty terrifying in the clutch, much like we were in football.

They had 3 opportunities against KU and couldn't get a decent look, and Baylor designed some awful plays down the stretch.  They played well against ISU at the end, but I wouldn't say their track record at the end of games is terrifying.

Now, considering they are at home, the thought of playing 5 against 8 at the end of the game does terrify me.

From Currie's email:

"First, it has been our strong preference to play our season-opening game in the evening to avoid the daytime heat. However, there is significant TV interest in this matchup against North Dakota State, two-time defending FCS national champion and owner of victories over KU, Minnesota and Colorado State in the past three seasons."

Never miss an opportunity.

Meh. We're gonna be all :ohno: no matter who we meet in the second round. And a 2 seed versus a 3 just doesn't matter that much. I just don't want to fall back to a 4.

We can lock down a 3 with a win over the Pokes. If not, we've got some work to do in the B12T. To reach a 2, I'd say we probably need 4 more wins and a little help from the teams currently slotted above us.

We probably need one more Top 50 (or better) win to lock up the 3 seed. Either win at Stillwater or our 2nd game in the Big 12 (likely against OU or OSU) and we should be good. Get two of those and maybe sneak into a 2, but probably need to win 3 in KC for a 2.

Speaking of Big 12, of the bottom 4 the team I least want to play is Texas. I know we just kicked them at their place and they were playing Baylor, but Kabongo seems to be getting back integrated and they had a lot of guys play really well last night. If they get some sense of urgency and Kabongo plays under control they can give a top 4 seed fits.

Don't want to play Texas right now, but wouldn't our second game be against the winner of 3&6 seeds?  If I'm looking at that right we would play either okie st or baylor in our second game of the tournament.

You're right about the second game...but if we're the 2 seed, our first game would be against the 7/10 winner - and by beating Baylor last night, it looks like Texas is going to end up with the 7 seed (unless WVU somehow beats OU or ISU...).

I guess if you guys want to compete with Mizzou fans for who can hate KU the most, this kind of stuff will work in your favor.  Maybe it's time to ride into Lawrence, kill 80% of the men over the age of 12, rape the women, and burn down every building on Mass Street.  That will ensure that 46-3 never happens again.

I didn't know KU got their players from Lawrence.  That's cool, truly a hometown team.

Weird first post, I know...hi board. Long time listener, first time caller, all that.

Maybe this means Ramirez will come on up this fall now?
