9-3

[That_Guy]

It is when you realize that we didn't beat a good team all year

no it's not, dumbass.

i want more out of my favorite college football team.  if you like beating shitty teams well then that's cool.  some of us don't though.

I agree. I'm tired of the 'cats just not being good enough.

[Hurricane Cat]

I'm afraid it's more likely to get a lot worse rather than better.

[EMAWzified]

I'd argue Oklahoma was "good" before the loss of Knight and Shepard. I know Shepard got back on the field, but wasn't the same.
It was pretty much a chalk season, tho. With TCU and Baylor on the road, 9-3 was solid.

[DQ12]

Yep.  Had a lot of fun this season.

I mean, we were regularly missing bowl games 5 years ago.  9-3 is a good season.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Think about this: Our home-and-away conference schedules have been incredibly lopsided since the inception of the new ten-team B12. Even numbered seasons suck ass, with 5 road games and wasting one of our home games against shitty KU. Odd numbered seasons are much more favorable, with 5 home games plus a defacto 6th in Lawrence against shitty KU.

Now imagine if we had had our 2012 and 2014 teams playing in the 2011 and 2013 seasons...    Our timing is tragically off by one friggin year.

[CHONGS]

so we ended up beating 5 bowl teams right?  that's not too bad

[kso_FAN]

We all want to win league titles and even national titles, but if being one of top 15 teams in the country 3 out of 4 years isn't good enough you probably should just find a new team.

[PIPE]

My god, we are losing like 97% of our offense......

[slobber]

Hurricane and PIPE are pointing out what concerns me. I just don't see much to look forward to next year or two. Other than Bulldog doin his thing and Gronk, what known exciting things to we have to look forward to?


Gonna win 'em all!

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

So it's just now dawning on some of you that next year will be a rebuilding year?  There's always something to look forward to. Like our shiny new NEZ!

Its clear Baylor and TCU were WAY better than us, and we beat everyone else. The ability to not lose to bad teams should be recognized for what it is. Its a good season. A lot of teams that are similar to us in talent etc have a bad loss or 2 and end up 7-5.

Yea we go 10-2 with a normal Snyder non con which is essentially 2011 2.0

[Katpappy]

We beat several good teams. We didn't beat any great ones - 'cause we're not a great team. Still a pretty darned good year with a decent bowl to look forward to.

Yep. If you can't enjoy that find another freakin team. I'm fine with criticism, but not stupidity.

I think he's talking to you, OK_Cat. 

[Katpappy]

Good but not great.  Not as fun as '11 or as meaningful as '12, but better than last year. Wish there was more fist pump moments. But it was enjoyable.

My feeling ezackly.

Absolutely. Still, given the choice over an extended time, I'm not sure if I would have a couple 4 or 5 win seasons to go with a couple 11+ years or 9-3 every year. So basically what we had 2005-2012 opposed to Nebraska under Bo (I think being a KSU fan has been much more fun over the same stretch.)

 I'm content, but this would be much easier to swallow with any sort of promising basketball season to follow.

I agree with _FAN. 2009-10 KSU Hoops, 2012 KSU Football, and the 2014 Royals were so much damn fun as a sports fan, that I'm totally cool with good, not great seasons if we get something like that, even if its just once a generation.

[EMAWzified]

Baylor and Auburn were winnable games had the team played, coaching been sharper. Would make such a difference in perceptions had we won either.

rough ridin' yea, we just need to win them all and, son of a gun, we're in the CFP!!!!

39 points from getting into the playoffs guys....

2012 football sucked.  this season was just as good as 2012 and so was 2011.

dude we won the conference and were #1 in November. The crash sucked but the ride to the top, even though it was short lived, was so awesome.

[scottwildcat]

2012 was great. 2014 and 2011 were fun but a big step lower.
