Most frightening game left on the schedule?

[Trim]

texas.  they probably have the best defense in the country, and they're going to use every trick, dollar, barrel of oil and cow they have to keep us from running the table.

I feel that this post was not appreciated the way it should have been.

I love football sys.

[kcchiefdav]

I feel that every game we play the rest of the season (except KU and maybe Baylor) is going to be undecided going into the 4Q, so they'll all be edge of your seat, nervous games for me. I'd say the ones i'm most scared of are WVU and UT. WVU gets the slight nod because they actually have a good QB.

[GoodForAnother]

wvu this year is similar to baylor last year. I think we can win that game. that defense is awful, klein won't even have to pass.

[Boom Roasted]

Right now I am most scared about ISU since that is the next game that we could lose.  I dont want anything to do with a Paul Rhodes proud speach. 

Full season scary factor
1. TX (their superbowl, they have that thanksgiving TCU game which will be fun to watch and we have a bye, favors the scheme doctor)
2. WVU (weak D but Geno and Tavon could and likely will roast our secondary, their O-line struggled against Maryland so i would expect some good pressure. Will likely be road night game which is tough and hopefully a top ten matchup, we will know a bunch more about this team after they go to DKR)
3. ISU (Their upset magic and ability to play us close is no fun, Ames has the ability to get hostile, hopefully its a 11am game)
4. TCU (lots of purple which will look sweet in the stadium, i expect a bunch of Cat fans to be at the game so the homefield advantage shouldnt be too big.  They will be coming off a WVU road trip which is to our advantage)
5. Tech (right after WVU road trip, potential to be tired and/or over confident)
6. OSU (second home game in a row, TCU next so not overlooking, payback game will be hungry for it)
7. Baylor (no more RG3, should run all over them)
8. KU (LOL)

TX game this year could be exactly like last year imo. Very boring to an objective 3rd party viewer. Low-scoring, lots of field position battles. Getting TD's vs FG's will be the key.

We always seem to look flat for the last home game of the season...

[fr@ck me]

Lets list the games in order from toughest to easiest.

1. WV no brainer
2. Texas - great D, maybe found a QB finally
3. TCU - O doesn't look as good but D looks good
4. OSU - O looks good, D sucks
5-8. TT, ISU, Baylor you can throw in a hat and pull them out. 
9. Bye - these guys are undefeated every year.
10. Scout team every week
11. KU... almost forgot they supposedly have a football program.  So far they have lost to a side dish and a directional school.  We will spend 1 day max scheming them.  Over by halftime

great thread idea, l&ke me!

Mods merge this with the frightening game thread.  I missed that when I was looking...

9-11 were v. good.

[wetwillie]

imo the only thing that scares me is injuries, if we  stay healthy we are running the table.

[deputy dawg]

If there's a team that would win based on desire to kick us in the nuts, it would be UT.  We've pissed in their punchbowl many, many times--it's not just the overall W-L record, but we cost them a BCS bowl in 2003.  Yeah, they'd want this one bad.

This just made my stomach turn.  It's very pissed at me for agreeing with this.  Not sure it can handle it.  :openspeptobismal:

[AbeFroman]

1. Texas (clearly the best team in the B12 besides us)
2. ISU (they mumped up Oklahoma State's shot at a MNC, Rhodes sees us as a Superbowl)
3. WVU (can't move to top 2 until I see them destroy a B12 team, mediocre vs a bad Maryland)
4. Baylor (not a great team, but good offense)
5. TCU (was not impressed by them vs ku)
6. OSU (not very good this year)
7. Tech (same)
8. ku

(OU was in the "pissing my pants" category fwiw)

[MixBerryCrunch]

If we lose to UT the day after my birthday, then that will probably be my last birthday.

 

   <---- for a cat win over UT

goEMAW kool-aid party after the ut game of we're undefeated going in and lose. 

[mocat]

Aside from KU, are we going to blow anybody out the rest of the season? Probably not is my guess.

[nicname]

What is a blowout?  I think there is a pretty good chance that we can beat one or more of the softer defensive teams by 20 or more.  WVU, Baylor and teams like OSU will score points but have little hope of slowing down the Cats.

tech, ku, isu, osu... all possible blowouts imho

[oneeyedwillie]

Agreed.

I'm much more scared of ISU than I am TCU. ISU has some good players and has it out for us after the last three games.

[Stevesie60]

Good grief, you guys. We just won in Norman by 5. How can you think we're not going to blow some of these other dorks out?
