at this time in the season, it's not an exaggeration to say this is a must-lose game.

losing one of the next two will probably do it.  we've got a chance!

if they finish 3-6 or better, we all but guarantee ourselves a sub .500 finish barring a catastrophe in kansas city.  if we finish 4-5, we'd have to lose the first post-season game to hit our mark.  anything worse than 4-5 and we'll have given ourselves no chance.

after they started out the second half of the season on the wrong foot, no one, and by that i mean me, thought they could come back and hit their mark.  what a glorious five game streak to close out the season!

of course, there's still work to be done and the schedulemakers are somehow still threatening to do us no favors, but it's appropriate to step back and savor this moment, this achievement.

with the disclaimer that OSU and WVU have a chance to spoil it: as of right now the cats hold the distinction of being the only team in the conference with a losing record. pretty amazing stuff and it would be nice to see oscar go out with another feather in his cap

1 year ban from post season. Don't remember what NCAA violations they got busted for.

I was really hoping we'd make the tournament this year. But I also enjoyed this thread.

i am pleased to offer the guarantee, to anyone concerned, that i was genuinely rooting for kstate to finish under .500, and i'm pleased that they were able to do so.
