I took "anonymous" to mean "completely fabricated."

What Big 12 Coaches Are Saying About: Kansas State
“Thank God Daniel Thomas isn’t back. He was so physical. They will have a huge hole trying to replace him. Last year the offense revolved around him. As he went, they went. Now they have to replace him. Bryce Brown, who transferred from Tennessee, could be a nice addition, if he lives up to the hype." - Pinkel

"They have to replace quarterback Carson Coffman. You know certain things to expect with a LHC Bill Snyder-coached team: They will be good on special teams, be physical and incorporate some sort of option." - Gundy

"They keep you honest on defense. They are as well-coached and physical as anyone in the league. If they only had a lot more talent like they did before Snyder stepped down the first time, they could be really strong. But you can tell he’s building it back. Snyder lost a lot of impact players. On most teams you would expect a big drop-off, but with Snyder he’ll scrape together another winning season and bowl berth like he always does." - Stoops

"They need to find some playmakers on offense. With Thomas gone, there will be more pressure on the quarterback and the wide receivers." - Gill

"Their talent level isn’t great, but they find a way to win some games. Not sure how they do it, but they get it done." -Tubbs without a doubt

"Coffman was solid at quarterback. Didn’t get a lot of attention, but he was good. Didn’t make the big mistake.” - Briles

I'm guessing Sherman, Gill, Stoops, Pinkel, Tubbs, Rhodes

Reading between the lines from the quotes from all of our coaches heading into the season...

they seem to be confident about QB, RB, WR, LB, and secondary.

they seem unsure about both the DL and OL. Snyder has always found a way to move the ball whether he had a really good OL or not. He's a master at squeezing a gallon of lemonade out of one lemon, offensively. But defensive line is another matter. It's not that they don't display any confidence about the DL it's that their words are very measured when discussing it.

Feels a lot like '93.

My confidence went from six to midnight as I perused this thread. Can't wait to take on the visor wearing gobbler on college gameday.

I hope you're right. Because this would be amazing. Despite how down I have been on Snyder and his merry band of dipshits, I will not hesitate to unleash some serious crap-talking across the interwebs if we have a 93-esque season. I will be the guy flamboyantly flashing new money, just like I would have done in 93.

Can't help but be a little confident. If CK is anywhere near as good in-game as every1 is saying, and our o-line is even halfway decent, it'll be a good year. No way the defense can be as bad as it was last year. Just not possible. I'd like to call 8-4, but I'll go safe w/ 7-5, but w/ a bowl win to get to 8 wins.

Confidence level: 77%.

I'm about 65% confident we will get to 7-5 and about 50% confident in 8-4. It drops all the way to about 12.33% confidence for 9-3.

rumor that not everyone on the offensive side of things is ok. waiting for confirmation to break the news. not cancer related.

Oh God please don't let it be CK or BB. Those two are crucial to any success we might have this year imho. The rest are important too but we can probably rebound from their loss.
