Congrats to Jalon.  I pity the 4 or 5 opponents he suits up against next year.

I do believe you meant the "3" opponents he suits up against.  4 or 5 is way too optimistic for Mr. "I have some sort of injury issue that only I can truly identify" to suit up and play against.

If you're going to feel bad, you might as well make money.  On the other hand you can say it's the price of another Wildcat Victory

This is 90% of my bets. I ask myself stuff like "what would I pay to guarantee a cats win?" and try to formulate an emotional neutral position. They lose but I make $3k? sad but ok. I lose $1k but cats get the dub? sucks but it's only money and EMAW!

I've got a couple ku friends and they're all talking about how they're going to put both sets of goal posts into their little pond when they pull off the upset. Honestly, I don't think I've seen them this excited or the confidence level this high since Miles's first year as a head coach. I was at that game in Lawrence too.


Personally, I think it's a good thing as we need them to actually be competitive in football if we ever hope to get ratings for this game up. The moneyline may be -9.5 but I everything I've seen this season by both teams indicates we win by +17.

I think we should challenge their engineering program to design a system that will automatically launch the goal posts into the pond after a victory

Look guys and gals, one of the teams is going to win. Let's just hope for a good, competitive game with no serious injuries. Hopefully I get to watch it.

First, I am not my brothers' keeper. Second, game prediction threads are like the most stupid waste of time ever. The Phog Gridiron Board is full of cranky old men, and there are very few rational posters.

I enjoy the predictions that peddle the narrative tomorrow’s outcome solely boils down to if it’s  Beans or Squawk Howard starting tomorrow.

Guys, we might 64-0 KU.

I just have this feeling....

If you don't win by at least 64, it will be an embarrassment for KSU. But I'm confident you'll do it.
I went to that game in Lawrence in 2002, and learned how brutal LHCBS actually is.  KU was on K-State's side of the field, trying to get into field goal range so they wouldn't be shut out.  Cats were playing 2nd and 3rd string players.  When KU had a 3rd down,  LHCBS subbed almost the entire defense with starters and crammed KU behind their line of scrimmage, forcing a punt.  He had absolutely no mercy on those poor Jayhawks.
iirc the post game quotes said the 1st team D subbed back in on thier own

This is absolutely correct. Not only did a 2002 SB live nextdoor to Bosz56, Hickman, and Buhl, I was also there and saw it with my own three eyes. What an hilarious day. The best oart is that when the defense subbed themselves back in, they actually didn’t force a punt. They forced a fumble two plays later, which they promptly recovered.

The box score on this game is hilarious. The quotes in this article are hilarious. The passive-agressive postgame talk Snyder did to Mangino is hilarious.

Guys, we beat them 64-0 and we scored NO POINTS IN THE 4TH QUARTER.

In a really twisted way, I was looking forward to the pressure being on KU for once. I’m always a little jealous that they have zero expectations going into this game.

I did the same. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever bet on KSU to win.
