I think you guys are underestimating these particular hawks.

I think we could probably cover double digits pretty easily.

Well, gents, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Nothing lasts forever (up to and including, cold November rain).

We'll open as favorites and money will pour in to kansas.  final line kstate -5.5 or 6.5

Let's say for the sake of argument that's the line. How would you bet, if you were forced to bet?

The thick smoke is from the burning of all the blueprints for the stadium construction after they found that they were already $100m over budget.

the offense is fun but the defense is paper.  just not a good match up for the hawks, that's all.

I think you guys are underestimating these particular hawks.

Klanderman has shown that he's had little to no issues with Kotelnicki's offense, with either quarterback, and this is his best defense at K-State. I think a battle of KU's offense versus K-State's defense is, at absolute best for KU a close one. KU's offense would have to play much better than it did against Iowa State or OU.

The K-State offense vs. KU defense is potentially a blood bath. If Howard isn't turning the ball over, I have no idea how KU's defense is capable of slowing down the K-State offense.

I legitimately think that this is overall, a really bad matchup for KU. K-State is too physical on the lines. I do think that KU might have an edge outside, on both sides of the ball. Not being able to run the ball and not being able to stop the run, is going to be a real issue.

Fairly made points, but have you guys considered something us enthusiasts call the "It Factor"?

Probably the best chance KU's had in 15 years and it's like a 20% chance, :frown:

yeah, i think 20% is pretty fair.  last year was like 5% so that's a huge step forward.

Looks like somebody forgot about 1st and goal at the six in Austin . . . .

We will always have that.

3 points between TCU and Houston bears our John Hancock I’d say. Otherwise Texas was really our only chance for a signature win and we biffed it.

18 feet from victory. Might as well have been a league

I'm not sure we'll actually be an underdog.
We surely will be. Hell I’d put money on it.

Whoever got the game at home would have been the favorite, I think.

You sure about that? You name the amount, I'll take the bet
I’d either do $20 if we ever meet face to face or  $50 to a charity of winner’s choice.

Would it be on where the line settles by kickoff?

You name the terms. Unless we lose to Baylor, we will be favorites.
The gE echo chamber is giving me cold feet but I’ll still bite.

Assuming KU and KSU both win this weekend:

I say KU opens as the favorite vs KSU (let’s say on Draft Kings unless you wanna pick another)

Loser donates $50 to charitable cause of winner’s choice.

Draft kings currently has cats at -4 vs KU.  I've already taken advantage (obvs)
