You haven't been this optimistic since?

Purple 'Cats will beat Auburn

THE KING HAS SPOKEN

[yoga-like_abana]

we aren't very good our first game of the season, like not at all

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think 9 wins should be our expectation.

sorry man I'm thinking playoff. Might crash and burn, I guess we will see

What exactly was it about last year's 8-5 season that convinced you K-State would be top 4 good next year?

7-1 over last 8 games and most of them DOMINATING victories, perhaps?

 

We didn't go 7-1 over our last 8, though. We went 6-1 over our last 7, with victories over Kansas, Iowa State, West Virginia, TCU, Texas Tech, and Michigan. I would be about 100x more optimistic right now if we had beaten OU. Until we actually beat somebody good, I'm not going to start believing that we are going to beat more good teams than we lose to next year.

Nobody was on here predicting Big 12 championships for 2011. I said I think we could win 9 games next year. When the schedule includes Auburn, @Baylor, @OU, and OSU, that means that I think we will be very good. We just aren't going to be good enough to be competing for a Big 12 championship/playoffs, unless Waters turns into a stud this offseason.

Well he turned into a total stud in the span of 1 month for the BWWB, and now he has 8 months now.

michigan would be 8th or 9th in a 11 team big 12.  iowa state would be their benchmark.

Waters will be much better next year. He's got an entire offseason to work on whatever the eff makes him overthrow every ten yard out, and the coaches have had an entire year of playcalling under their belt with him, so we'll be putting him in better positions to succeed. Don't know if we can win the Big XII with him at QB, but he'll be markedly better.

i'm not as optimistic as you chaps

probably just need to get him to start reading and memorizing playboy articles like rube baker

I'm extremely optimistic, but less optimistic than last year in which I basically expected s4ms to win the heisman and the cats to win it all.

[Skipper44]

OB has averaged 10.6 wins per season when he has 2nd year Senior starter at QB (and I included CCQ in this math). 

I personally have a hard time imagining us winning in Norman or Waco and the match up with Auburn is scary, actually terrifying in the 2nd game of the year for a D that has been a train wreck vs the run without 1Y.

As far as season anticipation, I would rank this season Fif, barely beating out 94 as I still thought of CU and NU on a different plane

1. 1998 - 97 ended on a high note with the big win in the Fiesta, had NU at home and getting past them and going to the NC just seemed like the next stop on the rocket ship rise that cat football was on

2. 2003 - Literally 2 plays from the NC game in 2002 - FFF did some amazing bbs'n with this

3. 2000 - Beasley answered a lot of questions after a shaky start, D was stacked and Scobey was going to be the power back that was the missing piece

4. 2011 - All the returning production on O was tempered by how bad the D was in 11

5. 2014 - TLBL is amazing but can Tom Hayes stop the run w/o Zim?  Who will run the football?

  Good comps, sound thought process.

Dvonta, Riddle(maybe), safety(Prewett or Newlan hopefully), DL will all be fine with probable upgrades at LB and DL, we will stop the run just fine, can we run is a good question tho, i dont think Jake can throw 30 times a game.
