just looked at kstate's record and realized that they're likely to end up pretty close to .500 overall. so we need a thread to track the effort to get under that mark for a historic third straight year.

Will oscar bail on his sinking ship?

What?

BIG APPLE CAT · « **Reply #3 on:** January 12, 2022, 10:12:54 AM »

i think we've positions ourselves nicely to go 2-7 in the month of January. February (+1 game in March) the schedule makers did not do us any favors...I could see us easily going 4-6, possibly even 5-5 in that 10 game stretch.

Potential Ws that are do not require much wishful thinking:
Old Miss
TCU x2
OSU x2

Ws that require a little wishful thinking but are still very much in the realm of possibility since they are both home games:
WVU
OU

My gut tells me that we will win 5 of those 7 games mentioned above.

Not before the court is named after him.

big game tonight. if they could somehow lose this one, it'll set them up very nicely to stay under .500.

Biggest game of the sub .500 season

Went from moral victory to victory, thanks oscar.

Feels good

classic trap game tomorrow. it's fine to get all fired up after a big come-from-ahead upset, but records are made when you lose the ones you're supposed to lose.

I'm confident we've got this

slackcat · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2022, 01:17:14 PM »

This one got away, maybe next time.

sys · « **Reply #13 on:** January 15, 2022, 06:00:56 PM »

it was predictable. you understand how it happens. but that doesn't make it hurt any less.

right back where we started.

After watching mcguirl cry in the post game presser I’m confident this is a below500 squad

They all cut their hair and look baptized hard now. Didn’t see the crying post game, that doesn’t help support my narrative lol.

Huge letdown game

slackcat · « **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2022, 10:15:34 PM »

Trap game for the cats.

sys · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2022, 09:51:23 PM »

crushing win.

sys · « **Reply #19 on:** January 21, 2022, 09:31:59 PM »

is it too early in the season for a must lose game? yes. is tomorrow a must lose game? also yes.

wetwillie · « **Reply #20 on:** January 21, 2022, 09:54:06 PM »

This dream is effectively over with a win tomorrow, and I’m giving the cats a 40% chance of putting the nail in the coffin

sys · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2022, 07:41:27 PM »

the schedulemakers did the fans no favors this weekend, and i only managed to watch a few minutes, but it appears our cats were able to overcome a hot day at the nets from pack and secure the loss.

not gonna sugarcoat it though, projections still have the cats easily clearing .500. we're gonna have to use this loss to get back on the schneid or we risk this thread getting shutdown by mid-february.

oscar gon oscar and pull the W against Baylor

sys · « **Reply #23 on:** January 29, 2022, 05:27:51 PM »

magnificent, heroic loss. no one, not one single person, thought they could pull it off, but they did and it changes the whole season outlook.

i haven't run all the numbers yet, but my guess is the cats are now favored to pull off a sub .500 season. just incredible.

Depending on how generous osu is feeling…we could be staring down the barrel of an un-feated February. History awaits
