KSU cannot win must wins

[nicname]

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

Just curious why you scratched off the Nubs and Baylor?
1997- we played Nubs 4th game of year. Only game we lost all year. Coming off multiple years of coming close to beating them.
1999- We were 9-0 and #5 in the nation. Only thing standing between us and a Natty. They throttled us.
2000- Played OU and were #2 in nation. Holy crap #2. Lost to them again later in year.
2002- blew a few
2012- Baylor. We were #1 for gosh darned sakes. Ran into a buzzsaw, but still.
2014- TCU- ill prepared. Linebackers sitting out. Walk on safety bless his heart. We blew it.

nicname if you continue to address this rump swab, I will punch you in the head. Don't try to rationalize with sloth from the goonies.

Because Nebraska was clearly better than K-State in 1997 and especially 1999. Baylor wasn't a big game, and wasn't looked at like a big game until KSU lost.

Is WV a "must win"?  We need to get these classified prior to the game so we can do some real data tracking here...actually let's go back to 89 and classify them all.

Narrative is mostly true. I really want to change this rather large Elephant sitting over there in the corner.

 

edited to change title back

I don't think you understand what a must win is. Unless your goal every single year is a national title and anything less disgusts you.

But now I'm reading the thread and that's basically what everyone else already said.
