Stan Weber Report

[steve dave]

Biggest concern?  Play-makers to make plays at critical times in game (3rd down on defense for example and just 2-10 on offensive 3rd down conversions).

Are there similarities with 2003 situation (two losing seasons in a row)?  One difference is the 2003 situation actually started in 2001.  Kids started taking bowls for granted, just took a while to catch up to them (2004).  Stan doesn't have same concerns with this team. 

What do you know about LL?  Very good offensive team.  Won 9 games each of last two years.  Dual threat QB is tough runner and pretty good passer.  OL has some turnover....struggled against Ark.  But, important to note, Ark. didn't really just dominate.  Was more like a play here and a play their.

Prediction:  KSU 38 LL 27.

That doesn't cover the spread, does it?  (at least it's a W)

[Cartierfor3]

How confident did his socially awkward voice sound?

The line is currently at 10.5 on most sites, so

Nice summary, SD.  Always appreciated since I don't always get to listen to Stanbot.

Always appreciate these, OCAT

I'm no radio announce type guy, but I'm pretty sure taking bowls for granted wasn't why the 2004/2005 teams sucked.

yeah.  it's my favorite tuckcuse about why things failed in '04/05.  if only Matt Butler would have tried harder.

Yeah I know, but it's fun to just worry about how much we're going to blow a team out. But really, just like the loss last week, it's less about the game itself, but more about the worrying about completely sucking the rest of the season. If we win by a blow out, I can...for at least a week....tell myself we're going to be ok and NDSU loss was a fluke. We lose again or scrape by with a win, and I don't get to bliss of feeling like everything is going to be ok. Ya know?

blowing out teams is so lame.  remember 2k11?  great year, close games left and right.  so exciting!

if we "close game" our way to 7ish wins, that'd be a fun year

[michigancat]

In all seriousness, "close gaming" catches up w/ you. Synder was awful at close games during the DoD.

[michigancat]

but agree it would be pretty fun.

Exactly. Close games are awesome when you win most of them. The season becomes pukey pretty fast when you only end up winning 4 or 5. Remember 2004? Almost every loss was by 10 or less. Not fun.
