You can't watch any of these Big 12 games and think any of these teams are some unbeatable force. K-State can play with OSU, TCU, or OU, no doubt in my mind. Everyone has flaws.

Was thinking the same thing, but it goes both ways. KU and maybe ISU should be an easy game, but I don't think anyone else will be. We could win em all or lose em all.

Interesting time to make this observation

Kliff may be their Paul Rhodes. He's well liked at home and seems to do just enough each year to give the fans hope for next season. If he gets canned it would probably have just as much to do with Leach building another winning program at Wazzu.

Explain to me how this makes any sense at all. This is Leach's seventh year at Wazzu and 17th year overall. Kliff also has a much better record at this point at Tech than Leach did.

I mean he can probably wait until the last game of the year I guess.

Opposite trajectories. David Beatty is the only thing keeping Kliff from being the Big 12's worst coach. No program interested in competing for a conference championship would keep him as their coach.

if our secondary keeps playing off the ball and giving up big plays we get taken behind the shed in two of those games. i still will never understand it.

This is a fantastic argument for firing him last year. They are improved despite losing a 10 draft pick at QB. They're more likely than not to make a bowl game, which would be his third in five years. That's good enough to keep your job at 8 schools in the Big 12. OSU and K-State will probably fire their next coach for something like that and it would be a mistake.
