Aside from this Saturday and Iowa State...
« on: October 17, 2011, 10:16:38 AM »
everything else is just gravy. 

I think a large segment of us that for OB to be successful or at least make this 2nd go around worthwhile he needed to start beating teams like Baylor, Mizzou, Tech, and OSU.  OSU, in Stillwater, may be a bit much this year but demons are on the treadmill getting exercised.

Academics is a stupid word.

Academic schools are synonymous for being rich, powerful and exclusive, three things Kansas State is not.

So when people throw the word "academics" around, that's really what they are referencing.

Agreed.

We need to take recruits from the teams on that list.  I want to see some "other offers" listing Baylor, TCU, and Missouri.

If we go Cotton Bowling, I think you'll see some of this in December.

 A&M game is more important than the ku game in terms of having to beat the team leaving the conference, and that crushed our dream in '98.

Random statement.

Guys, It's looking like 8 wins is the minimum this season.  Anything more than 8 is just icing on the cake.

I agree, but at this point I want 9. Based on how this team has performed, there is no reason to not at least split the Texas and aTm games. OSU and OU will be really tough.

This would be a great thread topic.  I wonder if anyone has started one.

I assume you mean pre-bowl, because you should.

Totally agree.  My expectations for the season are already exceeded.   We've got some lean and fit demons out there. 

Nonetheless, I personally, and the majority of this board is going to be crushed and melt-down spectacularly if we lose 4 in a row (or 3 of 4).  Dropping out of the top 25, making the 'who's not hot' lists, etc. will be painful.
