Any chance we beat the Hawks this year?

[pissclams]

I've already got the date circled on my calendar.  Cannot wait to take the Hawks to the woodshed again.  They've done a great job over there in Lawrentucky at rebuilding their roster but I still think it's going to be K-State coming home with the Governor's Cup.  



fixed my post, thx y-l-a

I don't know.  Coach Gill seems pretty confident in his squad this year.  I guess we'll just have to find out come October 22.

One thing I think we can all agree on is that we hope for a competitive game free of injury, and full of the kind of sportsmanship of which the Sunflower State can be proud.

Chance of K-State pulling the upset in Lawrence is at 9.98%. KU will be much tougher this year as Gill's 'Hawks will be much faster and much stronger. They have KSU and MU circled and are looking to get to each team with, said speed and strength.

KU wins 9 this year and makes everyone in the nation go "Jinkees!"

Gill is really doing things the right way over there in Lawrence, but with "The Coach" game planning and our home grown Kansas kids, and even though I believe Gill may have more talent, I believe our youngsters will out work the hawks and squeeze out a win. I'll be cheering them on in all the other games though. Team, state, conference.

Hurts like hell to root against a guy like Gill, even if it's just one game a year...ya know?

If I didn't own so much rough ridin' stock in a KSU website (this one), I'd be tempted to root for Gill against us as well.   It's lose-lose.

I know everyone is laughing at the Gill Quotes (GQ's) but they have me a bit worried.

Why would he say stuff like that if his team is going to suck?

Try to get the Lawrencetucky racist fans off his back for awhile.

I feel sorry for the Lawrencetucky  fans.  They went from Fat Man to Black Man who both get beat by the Old Man.

I love how people talk about the chances of beating one team or another team.  Based on talent, matchups, and intangibles surrounding the game any team could beat another.  When the talent disparity is as small as it is between KU and KSU the mathematical percentages of winning and losing are in-between 40 and 60%.  Last year's blowout was an anomaly that was fueled by the intagibles surrounding the game and the breaks that happened that turned it into a game that KU's spirit was broken and Murphy's Law kicked in.

We probably have a 10% chance of beating Oklahoma -- about the same chance as Steve Woodberry missing a clutch free throw.  Not much, but nobody should be shocked if it happens.  The quality of the team should be measured by the performance at the end of the year or over the course of the year.

All in all, I think there is a better chance KU wins the game this year than there is that KSU wins it.

What an apologetic assclown.


That being said, the Hawks of Jay from Kansas have a much formidable squad this year.  I'd be surprised if our match against them didn't come down to the last few wickets.  When the time comes, and those fearless warriors come charging through that inflatable archway and appear from that haze of smoke, I can only hope are players aren't intimidated.  Football works in mysterious ways indeed.

It will be a challenge. The rabid fans in Lawrence always make it difficult for the visitor with there great traditions and passion for the gridiron, and now they have strong Christian leadership at the helm. Count me as concerned.

And I'll pray that your prayers are answered.

Also, remember this is a coach who once had a winning season in the MAC -- and he did it the right way.   Brace yourselves for a slugfest, Wildcat supporters.  This will be an old-fashioned brawl.

Think about the guy with the job of airing up the inflatable tunnel.  Just imagine the rush he gets when he's given the go ahead to inflate that SOB on game day.

Hilarious part is that we had terrible intangibles surrounding the game last year but we still killed them in regards to intangibles surrounding the game which speaks to how terrible KU's intangibles surrounding the game were last season word out of lawrence is that intangibles surrounding the game were a major area of focus during fall practice so we'll see if they can make it more of a game this season i doubt it though.

Do you think they have a prayer?

I still think we hang at least 40. Will it be enough to win? Yes.

Do you know how to read Katdaddy? All I'm saying is that if they really have improved their intangibles surrounding the game as much as I've heard they could make a game of it. That is if the breaks and Murphy's law aren't total dicks to them again.

Murphy's Law can be a total Dick when OB is swinging it.
