Sucks that people are already using the "schedule is super hard" talking point to justify a lack of wins this season. 'Grats Snyds.
But the schedule is super hard.  I know we all hate Snyder, but pretending that this season's schedule is just as easy as last's is ridiculous.

A&M, OU, @UT, @OSU, @Miami

Even with a potential let down year from UT, collectively, that may be the most difficult 5 games we've seen in the Snyder/Prince Era.  Compared to last season (which, in retrospect, was a ridiculously easy schedule) 6 wins looks like a decent season.  I'd bet we're about 14 point dogs in each of those games, with the exception maybe being Miami, simply due to the question marks surrounding them.


if we go 0-5 in that stretch...heads need to but cut off their necks. at least one win, two would be nice. aTm is a  should win.

I would say A&M, @Miami, CTR, OU, @OSU

We are adding some hard teams this year, but keep in mind that we are replacing 2 teams that beat us last year. So in reality, we are replacing 2 losses with probably 3 losses. This is why 6 wins shows no improvement from last season.

Replacing 2 losses with 3 losses?  Doesn't that kinda reinforce the point that this yrs sched is tougher than lasts?

Yeah, that's why winning 6 games would be stagnation when last year's team won 7.

Why are we acting like a&m won't be an extremely tough game?  Every poll I've seen so far has them top 10 preseason...

I can't see them going 0-for in conference.  Man if they went 2-10 the lawrence chapter of the KKK would be warming up the nooses.

Chings ranked them in the same category with us, Nuts Kicked, jtksu chimed in saying they were mediocre.  dlew fights the good fight.
 
No idea where the fatty quote is.  He thinks we should beat Mizzou.  Hatter thinks Tech/OSU/Mizzou. 

Either way, fatty and hatter don't speak about Kansas State as it is.  They speak about Kansas State as they wish it were.  I have moved past this step

That was talking about a&m as a program, not their 2011 football squad.

Also, I'm going to need to look at the preseason CPI before I go ahead and agree with the media that they are in fact a top 10 team. Right now, I have them pegged as "pretty good."

The chingdex?  Good idea.  Also, it is completey fair to say you rank program/team differenty.  That said I am very down on our program ad indifferent on the team so don't think I'll care too much about your dstinction.

I guarantee it's because we beat them the last two times (I had almost forgotten that ludicrous beatdown in 09. How rough ridin' absurd was that?)

Has Baylor ever won a football game in Manhattan, KS?

Baylor and K-State are pretty evenly matched, and I'll take the home team.
