[k-statriot28]

no, i hadn't heard it. thanks for posting.


not a surprise

[Lamesauce]

It’s believed Kansas State will instead face Eastern Kentucky to open the 2011 season.


Not a huge surprise, but this is the first I've heard of it.

[DQ12]

Sweet.  Wonder how much that cost us.

[sonofdaxjones]

Only okay if Miami stays on the schedule.

As I've always said, in the era of 4 non conference games, there's simply no excuse for not playing at least one BCS non conference opponent every year.

I think we'll be down to 3 non-cons next year or the one after.

Yep, you're right, so it's absolutely going to be 3 cupcakes.   I am almost of the belief that Snyder recruits they way he does on purpose in order to have the built in excuse to schedule cupcakes.

I love this news.

The way to win at KSU is to go to bowl games as frequently as possible...demonstrate some "success."  We have very little else to advertise.

[captaincrap]

No cost to either party for the cancellation. Necessary after the switch to 9 conf games

[HeinBallz]

Awesome. 
 

It's still on the SID schedule though?   

[Farley Grudge]

I think we all knew this was going to happen once OB was reintroduced as the coach.  Sucks, that would have been a fun roadie.

[OK_Cat]

With us having to play all the conference teams starting next year, you'd be stupid to not schedule 3 cupcakes.  The conference season is going to be brutal.

[HugeUpside]

That game was 97 percent of the reason I moved to Oregon.

Bingo.  Those who want "marquee" games in the non-con are selfish....it's not what's best for the program.  OB is dead on with THIS strategy.

I miss going bowling 

Three cupcakes, the fourth non-con game can be against a BCS team in a bowl game.

Most of the FBS lies in the huge gap between Oregon and FCS Eastern Kentucky.  Replacing a top 25 program with a FCS school is the ultimate pussery.

Like Lafayette?  Let's play cupcakes early in the season, buy three wins, and go into conference play healthy and undefeated. 

A good (or even decent) OOC is only necessary if you foresee yourself in the national title hunt, and even then, it's not the be all end all.

Yeah like Lafayette dumbass, was my point not clear?  So a loss to those coon asses means that we should schedule the shittiest teams in the nation on a yearly basis.  Get rough ridin' better and don't rough ridin' play FCS schools.

How in the eff will any BCS team make bowl games if they have to schedule teams from the Ohio Valley to do it?  Do you really think a team who can't beat a damn team nicknamed ULA-La will win enough conference games to make a bowl.  Log off and don't come back until you've paid for some common sense.

Unfortunately this is true.  If you're playing hard OOC games (particularly roadies) you're just asking to stay home for the holidays. 

If you stay home for the holidays you lose like 6 weeks of practice time where a moron like SLamur could learn the offense, thus we don't have to rely on wuss pipes Coffman.  Once you get good, then you can schedule a hard OOC games.

Dumbass, you have to play non-conference road games if you play any FBS school.  Do you think there have been Sun Belt road games the last two seasons for shits and giggles?

Not that I didn't already know this about you but 

Why assume he is dumb?  I'm going to go with he simply sucks.  He didn't start at a shitty juco.

[sonofdaxjones]

If K-State can't handle playing 1 BCS team in the non conference every year, than lets just drop football and call it a day. 

BSFS would make an excellent outdoor track venue . . . heck they could tear a bunch of down and then covert it to like 10,000 seat baseball stadium.   Maybe start up a soccer and/or a Lacrosse program.

Lots of haters in this thread.
