OU (so easy to predict)

A Bob Stoops coached OU team NEVER (ok, not never -- TCU and Oklahoma State) gets beat in Norman.

Even with the Cats doing some decent things to win games (not turning the ball over is a big one, as well as takeaways), there is no way the K-State offense does too much against the OU defense. OU's D-Line is pretty damn good, even though they only rotate 5 players. The D-Line is going to be in the K-State backfield all day.

I'm hoping Coach Snyder has some left over "magic" from the 2003 game.

Not bloody likely.

KSU: 10
OU: 45

CU

Man, this game is HUGE. A win gets the Cats to 3-1 in the conference (something that hasn't been done since the 2000 season) PLUS puts them in the "driver's seat" for a Big XII North Championship! Yeah, I said it.

Win this one and momentum can carry the Cats a long ways. Even with a sure "L" against the Sooners next week, K-State would still be in good shape. But back to the Buffaloes...

CU is HORRIBLE on the road. Just HORRIBLE. Dan Hawkins has won TWO Big XII road games since his start in Boulder. I'm not discounting their win against Kansas last week, but that game WAS in Boulder PLUS KU was doing their typical comeback and just couldn't finish.

Tyler Hansen is their new QB and will face a tough environment inside BSFS. The Cats seemed to gain some confidence with their PASTING of the Aggies last week. Even though K-State isn't THAT good, if they can run the ball effectively on CU, they win this game.

KSU: 28
CU: 24

Wow. Just wow.

Texas A&M

Well, the Cats are FINALLY getting back to play in Bill Snyder Family Stadium. I think this will help out quite a bit, but will it be enough to beat the Aggies?

Quick story: I have a ton of stuff to do Saturday, so I won't be going to Manhattan. The game is on Fox College Sports - it's an extra $5 a month to get this channel on (suck ass) Time Warner Cable. So do I get the game and watch it @ home...

SUPERSTITION SAYS: I will NOT get the game on TV. I think if I DID get it the game and watch it, the Cats would lose. Since I'm not going to watch it, the Cats will win.

Grant Gregory will solidify his position as the starting QB for the rest of 2009. The defense will get torched, but make a big play at the end to get the Cats the "W".

Texas Tech Game (Gonna Be U G L Y)

This is probably the easiest game to predict so far this season. There is NO WAY K-State wins this game. With no defensive pressure up front in sight, Texas Tech is going to be scoring (pretty much) at will.

Kansas State: 14
Texas Tech: 48

ISU (in Arrowhead)

Let's start by stating this fact. In 1993 when I was a single man, I went to Ames to see K-State play ISU (bad game, another story, another time... streaker game). Anyway, me and two buddies went out on the town the Friday b4 the game. We saw exacly ZERO attractive girls. That's Ames, I guess.

Now to the game...

Flip a coin on this one. Seriously. It's the two crappiest teams in the Big XII playing each other. Whomever doesn't turn the ball over and has a defensive TD or special teams TD will win. With that...

And Josh Cherry misses 3 field goals in this contest. Daniel Thomas continues his 100+ yard a game streak with 155 yards.
