I didn't realize they were on the verge of hiring Bob Stoops.

in the end, EMAW will always win.
It seemed clear to me that ISU both had better cleats and spent more time practicing in slick conditions. Their players looked way less tentative, where ours were scared to make a cut and looked almost like a cartoon character when trying to change direction within 10 yards of the sideline.
Maybe those were really the best cleats for snow/ice we had, and maybe there was no way Weis could have predicted how slick it would be, but I still say Rhoads outsmarted Weis bigtime on this one.
I got the feeling from watching the game that Iowa States stadium looked like a high school stadium. What the hell happened to allow the field conditions to end up like that? Can they not cover the playing surface to make it more game ready. Players from both sides of the line were at a higher risk for serious injury. Also we did look as though we had the wrong shoes for that piss poor field condition.
Poor ku, can't afford proper cleats for their players I should probably give the 3 pairs I have in an old box in my garage to the Lawrence Salvation Army

But Zenger is a dumpster fire.Like one conference victory and that thrilling, last-second victory over Louisiana-Bayou Thibidoux Junior College. He broke the streak before it eclipsed Baylor's mark. If paying millions to watch a train run off the tracks and into deep, deep mud is the goal then he's your guy. Otherwise I can't really seem to recall where he's won at the collegiate level. If he's the Head Coach at Shawnee Mission East that's fine. But he has no business in the Big XII.
Common knowledge, I know... But looks we're another Super bowl. Feels good."We’ve had K-State circled all season. We’ve had a running clock waiting for this game since the summer. This is the No. 1 game we want to win every single year...This is a big game for us and a big game for the Kansas program, A win like this could throw everything out the door. Whatever the record was, OK, we beat Kansas State, our rival, we got bragging rights for a whole year."http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2013/nov/24/ku-football-ready-shift-focus-sunflower-showdown/

I wanted to stay out of this just because I personally feel KU has made possibly the worst back to back hires in the modern day of college football but I just keep getting sucked in because I want KU to somehow figure this thing out.Zenger has done some good but he has been as bad as possible in the one sport we really needed him to be good in. He made possibly one of the worst football hires ever. KU needed a young energetic coach and we hired an old out of shape one. If we hired an older guy than it needed to be an older guy that had college football success (at KU it would have to be one that got in trouble somewhere else). Instead he hired a retread that is currently being paid millions to get as far away from South Bend as possible. Let's see, was fired from a "Have" school but will somehow be successful at a "Have Not" school. What logic is that? Please, all you Charlie supporters don't give me the more time BS. You can play that card if Charlie came in here and tried to build from the ground up and had a bunch of freshman and sophomores on the 2 deep, but that's just not the case. Our 2 deep roster is extremely heavy with Juniors and Seniors. Charlie came in here and did the shortcut quick fix method and brought in transfers and tons of jucos and our roster will suffer greatly in the very near future because of it. There's only two ways that can work. 1. You win games because of it. Winning solves all problems, but we all know that didn't work out. 2. You make up for it by just being a really good recruiter and have a great freshman class the next year. Currently we are dead last in the conference in recruiting and there's nobody close to us. I know everybody wants to support their school and coach and hope for the best, but if you look at this without crimson shades you will see Charlie is digging a hole that we are really going to struggle to get out of. Plus if K-State rips us a new one look for ticket sales next year to be extremely low. I'm amazed at the friends I've talked to that have said they've seen enough and will not renew their tickets.By the way, ISU just announced they are going to bowl in their stadium, KSU continues to do improvements and all we get out of Zenger is rumors. For all the good Zenger has done he has failed miserably in two extremely important areas, hiring a football coach and stadium improvements.

Please tell me that was just a tongue in cheek comment about having a running clock since summer.
In the postgame, Jeff Woody (ISU fullback) was chuckling and said during the 2nd quarter he looked at #55 and said, "You don't even want to be out here, do you?" The guy shook his head no.
I can't find positive confirmation of this little gem that was posted in the gridiron forum at phog.net, but if this is real.... It's rough ridin' classic!!!QuoteIn the postgame, Jeff Woody (ISU fullback) was chuckling and said during the 2nd quarter he looked at #55 and said, "You don't even want to be out here, do you?"

Taking the Kansas football job is like trying to climb one of those ladders on the back of a building that start 10ft of the ground and have a locked cage around them.
