Old Balls making some of y'all look pretty silly

[kim carnes]

Snyder has beaten a mediocre miami team with a brand new coach with an amazing individual tackle.

Snyder has beaten BAYLOR at home by 1.

Snyder beat a mediocre mizzou team with a new qb at home.

this.  We could still end up losing a lot of games.

folks...cire is genius. I marvel at his ability to keep all of us focused so we can keep sawing wood.

There's a decent chance we lose 4 or 5 more.  

There's also a decent chance we only lose 2.  

It's okay to be excited.

Agreed.  But to say Snyder is making anyone look silly is stupid.

You've hit the nail on the head Kim.  I think everyone on this board felt like we would/should be 5-0 at this point.  I mean we haven't played anyone worth a crap and we've got talent in spades.  Snyder's done nothing more than everyone on here expected.  Wish the media would get off his nuts.

Snyder is making everyone except for a very select few look stupid.

Consensus was probably that we'd have lost 3 games by now.

We're a win away from being bowl eligible.

He's making pretty much every Vegas handicapper look pretty stupid

I think it is somewhere between what kim said and what you said.  You nailing scores has been more impressive than any of Snyder's wins on an objective basis.  It is just our expectations were so low that Snyder is crushing them.  I will fully admit that I had no idea the defense would be this good and I certainly did not think the offense would be capable of producing. 

I still have some concerns about the lack of big plays on offense, but my God.  This is very enjoyable.  It just is.  I won't be butthurt about the fun, but as Rusty has said, it is hilarious that others are more butthurt about Snyder's success than we are.

I remember when KU was 5-0 and top 15 in the country back in '09.  Then we lost seven straight games and fired Mangino.  Just sayin.'

Mangino is a good coach, and I appreciate what he did for KU football, but there's no way he could have recruited after all of the allegations that surfaced.

Would you rather play for a coach with mangino's allegations?  Or one that won't let you have a cell phone, hang out with your gf past 10pm, preach the bible non-stop, and be on a crappier team?

correct me if I'm wrong but till that first lost you had played only dog crap teams and no rivals right? 

[jtksu]

I have a feeling that give up 700+ yds in one game and 70 pts in another is going to hurt recruiting.

KU went 3-9 last year and finished with a top 35 recruiting class.  Gill and co. are doing a great job of selling immediate playing time.

i don't know about that. i mean, if ku would've won ten games that year i don't think he is fired and i don't think everything that came out comes out. i think the losses coupled with the other stuff gave perkins room to operate and get him out. those two never like each other and perkins made sure to smear him pretty good with some of the stuff that was released towards the end. to bad, because he was really good.

Too bad that Gill and co. are not doing a good job of selling winning. Although I guess they would be close to business failure, so it probably was a more financially sound decision for them to sell losing.

Southern Miss was pretty good.  Who have you guys played besides Baylor?  2-3 Miami and 2-3 Mizzou?

Ummm... yeah, that's my point.  His reputation took a hit after all of the allegations that surfaced.

Well, other than Texas Tech (who KU was beating 20-0 in the 1st quarter), who did you expect KU to beat?  #12 Georgia Tech (in Atlanta) and/or #6 Oklahoma State (in Stillwater)?

I'm sorry, but "told you so" is a part of every spectrum of life.

my point is that if the team won a few more games that year, then the allegations either don't come out or they are quickly pushed under the rug. the issue for mangino was that his athletic director was not wanting to do either of those things and actually did quite the opposite and the fact that the fball team was losing game after game gave him the opportunity to do so.

 it was a strange fire and the university was helping to fuel it. it was just weird given how good he made them. it was a battle of two guys that are assholes and the bad person boss finally had what he needed to fire the bad person employee. the problem was that ku fball fans suffered because mangino was about as good as they were going to get.
