Greetings, Wildcats fans! It's your old pal Dlew back again, with the Gems of the gamethread. This week, I strolled on over to RAIDERPOWER to read 847 posts so you don't have to! Lots of turmoil in Raiderland this week, with plenty of ire directed at their skipper, Matt Wells. Generally these kinds of circumstances don't make for the shiniest gems, but we'll get our pick axes out and start mining nonetheless! To the Gems:
Feeling confident. Let's do this
Let's!
Touchdown Red Raiders
Touchdown baby!!!!!!!!! Good start
Fumble Malik Knowles
Haha Kstate nightmare start! Finally it happens to our opponent
SUCK IT, Suck it hard, doubters. Lol. Hoping this is how this game plays out . Relish. Yum.
yummy
Touchdown Red Raider - 14-0
Great start. I always thought our O could do it. Now, now it is up to our D. They show up, we roll.
Brother, your O is gonna get outscored in the second half by THE MOB
KS looks terrible.
K State is definitely missing LHC Bill Snyder
Continue to stop the run… getting decent pressure on Thompson. Their 4th down conversion was a Qb scramble. Let Thompson throw..
Thompson would finish the day going 24-30 for 296 yards.
They seldom bring a safety on a blitz. Very predictable
I don't know how many teams brings safety blitzes more often than "seldomly"
TOUCHDOWN KANSAS STATE
Wtf guy?
When, in the hell, do the Red Raiders decide enough is enough ?
Understand the competition is not chopped liver, but when you can put some daylight between us and them, why does our staff feel like “ now we have to protect our lead “. ?
Eff that. Run it up their **** and down their throat.
Ps: eff u. Wildcats.
Tocuchdown red raiders. The score is 21-7.
They are grinding the Kstate defense. Hopefully it pays even more dividends in the 3rd and 4th quarter.
Narrator: It did not pay dividends
Gunna become bowl eligible, i feel it!
Not today
Good lord. Can’t stop KSU on third and 14
Boy is he in for a surprise when K-State converts on 3rd and 34.
These refs are ignoring all the crap KSU is doing.
K-State as penalized 12 times today for 93 yard
Should have been an unsportsmanlike call for
The throat slash
Fook Kstate
HALFTIME IS HERE
Ok, doubters. Did yall predict this halftime score ?
(Someone has to call y’all out) or not. Lol.
Lotta game left, but I like our odds.
They spent most of halftime bitching about the officiating
And taunting that wasn't called, and the missed offside on the INT, plus others.
They were horrible the last few minutes. Missed the offside on the INT and the taunting that was right in front of a ref. Otherwise we're looking at a 28-7 halftime score.
Not going to jinx it but we NEED THIS GAME
Three and out to start. Nice.
That's what you think, but Astroleg Zentner is a weapon
Dam field position
Ha!
It will just add 20 yards to the offensive stats, when we drive down and score
Ha! Ha!
Pull a K State on them, run 8 minutes off the clock, and take it 96 yards for a TD.
Start to put this game away.
Develop a killer instinct.
Well that really sucks.
Surely not real what just happened
Offensive line with a brain fart!!!
!!
We are still winning, and blowU is losing. Keep it up!
They are blocking downfield on that pass to the FB. He caught it past the LOS. .
This is true -- blatant pick play, which-hilarious that we're running picks to jax.
TOUCHDOWN KANSAS STATE
Biggest moments of the season right here guys.
Could of gone up 21 but nope we Techd and now up 5…
Why can’t we just be normal
idk man, tech is kind of the new iowa state imo.
Here we go... make a game-changing mistake that cost you 9 points... momentum all Kstate now...
KSU is daring us to pass.
Can you blame us? Colombi went 10-19 for 148 yards and an INT. K-State can pass, Tech can't. <-- what a world!
Damn. I threw every thing I could overboard thinking we could sustain a great start.
Make or break time coming up.
Gotta be in a “live with Pain Mode” . (Just ground out 2 1st downs. Lol.
not sure what any of that means
There we go! Shitstorm ahoy!!!!
Must ask, with the original team showing up this half and they lost. What you say?
Some of these posts are incoherent
Our student section needs to pull an OU…….wait…no one gives a shot about our program anymore. They’re all in the parking lot drinking.
they're probably using swear words too!
We have to be the most uncoordinated, worst hand eye coordinated team in America. Haha.
I shouldn’t laugh but it’s kind of funny.
Wow. Lol. Never understand why you are right moreso than wrong. Hate it when that happens.
Tim Brando, you idiot! Weber being held? Are you even watching the game, TIM?
Hm Tim? ARE YOU??? TIM?! ANSWER ME.
So what excuse will CMW have after this piss poor second half???
When can we get a new DC? THIS ONE IS ONLY GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
EVERY TIME THEY GET A PENALTY.
This is a bad ksu team. They will probably not win another game outside of Kansas. This was our only chance for a bowl and it's fading fast. Good news is we can all stop pretending to still care. Maybe the next coach can get us to .500.
Nick lenners fumbled
Come on office! The defense can’t hold them forever.
Why the hell do we go for it on fourth and sixth?
Backed them upon. They’ve got us right where they want us.
Oh this will be good
behind the sticks again, just where KSU wants to be
Wow. 2 sacks on this series
Will they convert this 3rd and long?
Time for our infamous 3rd and 30+ defensive penalty for automatic first down.
3rd and 34. How many yards are we going to give up
And a stupid penalty keeps the drive alive
Prevent defense, 3 man rush and an 18 yard gain and a penalty.
Good gosh defensive penalty gives them a first on 3rd & 24
34**
EFFING A. THIRD AND 34! PERSONAL FOUL.
OMG! Make him run steps all month long! Unacceptable!
OMG! Make him run steps all month long! Unacceptable!
My god this team is dumb. And K State is dumb as well.
We're dumb but we got a new set of downs, [deep inhale] BABYYYYYY
Did anybody see the penalty? Was it legit?
Wow
Wondering what stats are on converting 3rd and 34?
Lifelong Tech fan
They just replayed the hands to the face penalty looked kind of bogus to me
That was a BS call.
The refs have made this a close game.
Touchdown KS! KS has the lead!
Crap
Let’s run the 6 minute drill and win this
Yeah offense except personal foul on 3rd and forever. So dumb play(Other words you beat yourself ). What does Wells do anyway? Starting to wonder.
truuuu
got to hand it to KS. They hung in and made plays. We had em till that 34 yard personal foul. Cost us the game as they are a good team and took advantage of it
Hopefully, win or lose, the KSU media will be more positive after this game.
haha! probably will be after a dub.
Finally they call KSU for their BS.
This ksu team is dirty as ***** man. On the personal foul 51 was pulling hair. Then ripping guys helmets off and throwing a punch afterwards. ***** these guys.
Tech turnover on downs
What the *****? Did we just go for it on fourth and 14?
My man there was 1:13 left on the clock...
Punt the damn ball away and at least give our defense a chance!
lmao - weirdest critique i've ever read doing gems.
Horrible! Just absolutely horrible! Terribly coached team. We’re now 1-10 against KSU in last 11 years.
And 0-
5 (!!!) against skylar thompson.
That stupid safety is the difference in this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Outcoached. Announcers hit the nail on the head
Outcoached, again.
Done with this *****.
Enjoy your retirement, Matt.
Cumbie absolutely schooled by KSU defensive coordinator.
Or was he? We can’t call anything with a 5 step drop.
Colombi officially sucks. Never should play another snap. Fire Wells for this. Keep smith in and at-least try a couple pass plays with him. Cumbie can’t be successful when Wells refuses to see the bigger picture. I’m disgusted with this team and this program.
Wells 2-30 in big 12 play
whoa - can that be right? lol no, it's not. he's 7-16.
Never thought I’d see the day....6 straight losses to Kansas freaking state.
If you call for a handoff in your end zone, you better have one of the best offensive lines and running backs in the nation.
3rd and 34 kstate was bailed out. there was no hands to the face.
welp, as they say, that's all folks!
