Possibly Luked, but whatever. More I read about Boyd, the more  I get.

http://kansasstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1429482

We've received some flack for making defensive end Jamone Boyd from Missouri a four-star prospect in our last rankings release because he is raw and looks great on some plays and invisible on others.

However, Boyd's potential is off the charts and if he can get his academics together and lands at a school such as Nebraska, where he recently visited with friend, teammate and Nebraska commitment Zach Hannon, I get the feeling he could be a star down the line.

Worst of all is the "and K-State got a nice win this weekend" he'll casually throw in between the Kenseth references and carefully critiquing Teicher's tweet about Quinn and Crennel.

No. crap.

Do you really think he'd take the time to rub it in the face of ND and the community like that by making the announcement at a TV station that used to be part of that university?

If it was IL, he would have already made the call without all the community histrionics.

If he wants to be like Lebron he will.

Look what's happening to the last SEC school goEMAW successfully trolled. Although they probably lack the intelligence to deduce the obvious connection, they more than make up for that deficit in superstition and time spent on internet fan boards.

1) Dr. Pepper. 2nd KSU cats game ever attended in person. Seats right behind obnoxious land grabbers on club level () but with enough KSU doods around to make heckling the crap out of them great. One of the best days of my life.
2) '08 KSU-KU bball
3) '11 KSU-KU bball
4) 06 KSU-UT freemawball
5) 05 KSU-MU (OB's first last game)

Runners Up:
Baylor FB 2011
MU FB 2011
KSU-Xavier epic epic game. Was not there, but watched entire thing in Alehouse and therefore can't remember the last 2 OT's or leaning out the gf's window and screaming the whole ride home. Counts.
KSU-BYU game before epic game. Watching in KC Kite's was great, watching with dejected KU fans even greater.

Kansas State Football / Re: Smoke your cigars and enjoy the band while you can....

« on: June 27, 2012, 06:37:17 PM »

the best team in the big 12 will make the 4 every year.  sometimes the best two.  a ccg isn't going to change that imo.  in fact, the only scenario I can see where the b12 doesn't get a spot is the best team in a very down year losing the ccg to some garbage team.

With the human selection committee and weight given to conference champions, the selection thought process is going to go the following way, whether they do it on purpose or subconsciously:

1. Who are the winners of the BigTen, Big12, SEC, and Pac-12.  Those 4 are the baseline.  Rank those 4 teams.
2. Who won the ACC and is that team undefeated?  Compare this team against team #4 above.  If ACC team deserves it more than #4 on the list, replace them.  Repeat with #3 on list, then #2 and #1 if deserving.
3.  Who took 2nd in the SEC?  Is there a better SEC team that didn't make their championship game? Repeat Step 2 with this SEC team.
4.  Who took 2nd in the BigTen/SEC/Big12?  Repeat Step 2 with this team.  If you can't clearly make a case for this team over a team already on the list, the team on the list stays.
5.  Are there any other teams who are deserving of being considered (must be an undefeated/1-loss ND or an other undefeated team).  If so, repeat step 2 with those teams until all deserving teams have been considered.  If you can't clearly make a case for this team over a team already on the list, the team on the list stays.

This is why I agree with SD.  90% of years the Big12 champ won't be as low #4 starting on that list.  In years where the Big12 champ stars out #3 on the list it would take an undefeated ACC team AND a 1-loss SEC team to not win the SEC to knock them out.  This is why 90% of the time the Big12 will have a team in and people are spending hours wasting their time trying to figure out if we need a CCG for 1 out of 10 years to maybe help out if needed.  Every year the committee will automatically put the Big12 champ in unless 1-2 other non-power champs are undefeated and clearly better, which would require the Big12 champ to have 2-3 losses and winning a Conf. Champ game over another 9-3 team wouldn't help anyway.

You're assuming that all 11-1 Big 12 championship teams will be treated equally by the committee.  If K-State wins the Big 12 with an 11-1 record with a loss to TCU, we will absolutely NOT be looked at the same way as an 11-1 OU team whose only loss was TCU.  That OU team would certainly be in the playoffs, while that KSU team will be in only if the committee can't find some more worthy teams somewhere else.

I mean, imagine the following scenario, which doesn't seem too far-fetched.  Florida runs the table in the SEC, but gets upset in the CCG by LSU.  Both teams are 12-1.  FSU wins the ACC with a 12-1 record, and their only loss was the matchup with Florida.  OSU knocks off Nebraska to win the big 10 and finish 12-1.  USC gets back to pre-infractions level and also finishes 12-1 as the PAC champs.  OU is 11-1.  There are zero teams with no losses, but there are six high-quality teams with only one loss.

Does OU get in?  I think yes.  I think that LSU, Ohio St, USC and OU would be the four teams.  In that same scenario if K-State is 11-1 instead of OU, I think K-State gets shut out.  I think that LSU, Ohio St, USC and Florida would be the four teams, and I would not be at all shocked if the committee regarded K-State as #6 in that group also behind FSU.

I'm fairly certain by the number of X-1's in there it was the scenario we're all thinking about, but honestly dnr.

I can be as butthurty as butthurt kstate fans get, but the main reason I see it going to 8 is if a team like KSU (or any other similar) gets in the 4 when those good ole' boys in the SEC make the argument that their team with one more loss is "clearly better", it will cause a riot. I don't necessarily see this totally bending over KSU, but I do see it influencing the committee when it comes to selection.

SEC riot vs. KSU butthurt: push. That's optimistic.

Committee will try its best to maintain legitimacy and a semblance of non-bias, which helps us, but in the end there's no way 4 is enough.

« on: June 26, 2012, 10:59:45 PM »

Yep, we will never get chosen for that ever, ever, ever.  What on earth makes anyone think that 4 at-large bids are going to be chosen fairly now, when they never have been before?

The football committee will have a much tougher task, trying to whittle the field down to four. Among the factors the committee will consider is won-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and whether a team is a conference champion

I think this is why Synder wants a CC back.  Could help...

Reeeeeally can't help but think 4 is just a stepping stone. Like... probably a 2 to 3 year stepping stone. 8 would be ideal. For us, 4 is nearly impossible, and i'm with Pete in being happy as a top 15-25 team. 8 is tough, but attainable.

“They are nice people. I like their system. It just seems like we are going to enjoy playing for Coach oscar and his people.”

"oscar was a nice person and he deserved a chance. That’s why we decided to stay.”

“I think it will be a great system for me,” Rodriguez said. “That’s actually one of the reasons why I stayed. They are different type of coaches. Coach Frank was a little bit more aggressive. They both have great philosophies. They both have good things. But I think Coach oscar will be, I guess, more flexible at times and let us play a little bit more.”

Angel stayed. I know this and am eternally grateful. Nothing about a coach being nice, or players staying simply because he is nice, reassures me at all.

Nice will be nice for the tucks next year when the team is winning.

Nice will not be nice for the players under the bus, or the lack of winning that is coming.

Sorry... I got all excited when I saw this article that Angel would give some insights about oscar's offense and give me some kind of substantive reason for optimism. All I got was "I haven't been around him much, but he's nice... oh and he likes guards. That's cool"

Coach Charlie Weis ?@CoachWeisKansas
Most of the team back for class. A few won't be back for a while. They have classes to finish. Some classes end in June, some in July.

lol

I didn't even think it was possible to ramble on in one tweet given the character limitations.

Charlie may ultimately break twitter.

Random KU FB admin type walks into Weis' office: "Hey Charlie... CHARLIE!"

"WHAA (deep, fat person cough) WHAT?" says Charlie as he wakes up after falling asleep on top of a KFC bucket.

"Zulu says maybe if you tweet out something about what's going on with football we can sell some tickets or something. Apparently our people just are eating up everything you say.... and Groupon called. Yeah... can you tweet something now?"

"Tweet... goddamn i hate that thing it's so... well what the F should I say? No one's here, and I have no clue what they're doin."

"Umm..  yeah just talk about the players coming back, how everyone is in great shape and studying hard and stuff."

"Most of the team back for class. A few won't be back for a while. They have classes to finish. Some classes end in June, some in July."

Charlie farts. Admin's eyes start watering... "OK... Just say that," as he runs out of the office.

"Where's that damn phone..." says Weis as he starts rummaging through fast food wrappers. "HEY... CAN YOU CALL MY PHONE?"
