KSU cannot win must wins
« on: November 03, 2014, 08:14:16 AM »
Narrative is mostly true. I really want to change this rather large Elephant sitting over there in the corner.

True too. In this case though, I can't remember KSU winning any of them though. There's been smaller 'must wins' , but these next few games are the epitome of must win games. So rough ridin' tired of MY teams getting close. I need a championship for one of MY teams. I deserve this.

Imho, it's too early to be talking about the Baylor game.

Let's not overlook TCU.

11-0 Klein @ Baylor is conveniently forgotten here. Phil Bennet junk defense schooled us.

False.  A freak injury to Zimmerman the week prior, coupled with TLBL spraining an ankle in the same prior game, was our downfall.  Missing the "defensive QB" who happened to be an All-Big12 safety and your best receiver had FAR more to do with the outcome of that game than Phil Bennett's defense did.

Lockett was our second best receiver but agree it hurt

Fair point.  I always saw TLBL and Harper as sort of a 1a/1b situation, but you'll get no argument here if you saw Harp as clear cut #1.

Ugh, hate these threads. Look, we choked plain and simple in 98. crap happens. We got bit by the injury bug in 2012 and lost a game to a good team on the road. That wasn't a choke.

All told, the Cats have significantly overperformed under Snyder's tenure. If you're whining that we don't consistently pull upsets in important games - nobody does. We have a very good, not great, team this year. For this team to run the table in the B12 with 5 road games, 4 of them ranked, 3 of them highly ranked, would be improbable to say the least. This is not the year to whine about "deserving" a championship. Enjoy the ride.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

That Baylor game wasn't viewed as a big game, they had a crap season and no one though they would beat us. We played 5 games that year that we're viewed as "big games" before they were played and the only loss was Oregon.

Whenever I think about that elephant in the corner I think of a score of 35-7 against the greatest college football team ever assembled!  Since we know KSU can win a football game when they are the overwhelming Underdog, this weeks +5 line does not seem so over whelming.

Or at Nebraska two weeks prior to that, or against MU to put us in the BigXII title game.

We've won our fair share of must win games.

You have to win a crap load of must win games to even have the type of must win games being discussed. I guess in short every college football game is must win, and it doesn't suck to win enough to have games that are important like this week's.

very true. I want this for Snyder. We've been here so many times before. It's been well documented
-Nebraska '97, '99
-OU 2000 twice
-A&M '98
-Baylor '12

This thread should just be "I really want K-State to win a national title", because that's what you mean. Snyder has won a ton (A TON) of big games for the KSU Cats over his career. He just hasn't ever won enough in one season to get to the NC game. Now we'll see if we can win enough this year to get into the 4 team Tornament.

We're probably the only team in America to have lost to good teams in big games.

This.  It's like saying Bob Stoops has only won one "must" win.
