You can put it any way you want but at the end of the day......................................Our team won. That is no big surprise. But what is great is that we are gonna benefit from your ranking! Like it or not. Bullshit or not. we will basically feast on your misfortune and probably finish top 5 for the season. One announcer even suggested we were top 3 in the country.
The line was 7.5. For those who don't bet let me explain. Arkansas was the Favorite (in the eyes of the whole nation - except in Kansas - but especially Las Vegas). Arkansas minus 7.5 equalls Kansas St. Kansas State was the underdog in the eyes of everyone outside of Kansas.
Today I bet $1000 I didn't have (unsecured bet) with a book that WOULD beat the hell (or worst) out of me if I lost and couldn't pay. I bet against YOUR wildcats and I won. Your misfortune and misery is money in my pockets tonight. I still have $900 to party on all weekend because the Wildcats lost. I have already got enough booze for 2 weeks.
The other benefit is that at least in the eyes of the nation you (who was shown to be a fraud) had a high ranking. Eighth best team in the country! We will benefit from your loss in that area too!!!
Your loss is going to help us become stronger. Thank you for that.
I think all hog fans should write in here and be the bigger better fanbase and THANK THE WILDCATS for bending over the table and biting the leather strap on national TV.
But if what I have wrote don't bring you no piece just think of your fellow Kansans! I remember bein on a team and gettin our ass whipped by another team when I was a kid and our coach reminding us that "at least we made the other team happy." Why just up the road in Lawrence they are very happy right now. THink of how happy your loss made all those University of Kansas fans. If you had won and beaten an SEC team your football program would have been mismatched for years. Now the games will remain competitive!
I hope this helps with perspective.
