Three years ago K-State went 7-6, this team is better than that team. Over 8

Mark it 8, dude.

I enjoyed this.

But I did NOT enjoy it when you failed to follow my rules.

TownieCat · « **Reply #77 on:** June 24, 2013, 12:06:12 PM »

Sorry Stevesie. I didn't want to do this, but since you forced my hand... 7-5.

Winning 9 games with this team would be more impressive than winning 10 games in '11. Then again, anyone who doubts LHCBS is an idiot...

I guess I don't see how having a really good offense and subpar defense is going to hurt this team in the Big 12. Nearly everyone has a good offense and a average-at-best defense. And we've lived by bend-but-don't break for the last few years, so as long as we can put up more points than we give up, and we are still able to run the ball and win TOP, I don't see how losing that many defensive starters is going to be as big of a detriment as everyone says it will be.

This is exactly why 6/10 teams finished either 5-4 or 4-5 in B12 play last year. We won because of our defense last year.

The amount of positive energy coming from J-Rake leads me to believe he is trolling. He physically can't be this optimistic. He just can't.

Steve, if I was a betting man (which I am) I'd take the under 8 here even though I think this bet pushes on 8. I just see some regression in the luck department from the last 2 years.

13>8
Over

lopakman · « **Reply #83 on:** June 25, 2013, 08:58:36 AM »

After looking at the schedule would take 8 wins. At this point it's anyone's guess. Yes we've lived by the bend don't break defense the past couple of years, we've also died by it in past years when the defense just wasn't strong enought to hold it together. Do they go back to breaking this year or will some of the players be better than expected. Last year even though no one else knew it, we knew we were going to be good. This year I could see anywhere from 6-10 wins and no be surprised.

Games we should win: NDST, UMass, ULL. We need to go 3-0.
Games we can win, but it will be tough: ISU, WVU, BU, KU. We need to go 3-1
Games we will not win: TCU, OU, OSU, UT, TT. We'll likely go 0-5

Over

I agree with how Cyber looked at the season but there is now way we go 0-5 vs TCU, OU, OSU, UT and TT. We will at worst split the 2 of this group at home and get either UT or TT, only @OSU will be unwinnable. If we win at UT 9 is a sure thing.

K-State's season win total opened 8.5 today offshore.

Small limits, but early money has come in under. Current:

30087 Kansas State total wins over 8½ +155
30088 Kansas State total wins under 8½ -195

Do those lines count bowl games (not that we win those)?

well, O/U 8 1/2 is a much better question than O/U 8 obviously

sorry guys, i'm off the wagon.

eight wins is a best-case scenario, and seven would be an accomplishment.

what changed? was it remembering that our DEs will be much smaller than ian campbell? that thought really sunk my mood yesterday afternoon.

i don't think seven would be an accomplishment. i think seven is the expectation. anything better is an accomplishment and anything worse is a failure.

the defense is going to be atrocious on top of awful on top of terrible. i always knew that, i guess, but i suppose i was in denial over just how bad it's going to be. k-state's inability to dominate in short-yardage will lead to punts instead of first downs, and the defense is going to get exposed badly. k-state will not enjoy the same starting field position it had a year ago, and therefore will not sustain drives at anywhere close to the same level as LY. k-state will not jump out to a lead in every single game, and therefore the defense will have to do more than preserve leads. the offense will likely be less explosive; the defense will give up more bigger plays; and just, wow, this is going to be a bad team and i predict a loss to louisiana.

it won't get any better than last year, not this year, and not ever, but of course you guys already knew that.

I think the offensive may very well be more explosive, but much less consistent

yeah. you don't lose a two year starter at qb and then get more explosive. at least history hasn't shown that under snyder. we'll see though i guess. i do think will be pretty decent and there will be a lot of fun games to watch.
