and just like that...

...the football season is over. Quick; way too quick. And yet another year without a bowl game. At least there was some excitement in the 2009 season.

Beating aTm, CU, KU and ISU for a 4-4 record in the conference isn't all that bad. Of course, just a simple win at Lousiana or UCLA would have put the Cats in a bowl. I remember watching that Louisiana loss and thinking it was going to KILL the chances of the bowl trip. How right I was. DAMNIT!

A special thanks to Grant Gregory for taking over the QB spot -- a Carson Coffman-lead team would not have beaten KU or CU. So enjoy the pine next year as well Carson, it's going to be either Lamur, Harper or (please please please) Cam Newton behind center in 2010.

Husker Game

Well, the MU game sucked arse. Oh well. My first wrong prediction for the season. Here's to hoping the NU prediction is wrong as well. Going to DVR the game and watch late Sat night -- have company holiday party at 7pm. So maybe (fingers crossed) it'll be another aTm game where didn't watch.

KSU hasn't won in Lincoln since the 2003 game (great game to be at). I think the 2009 Cat team will shit themselves up there and lose a big one. Bo Pelini (ass hat) will hold nothing back and run the score up.

KSU: 13
NU: 48

MU

Gary Pinkel has never beaten a Coach Snyder KSU team. And it ain't gonna happen on Saturday.

MU is REELING after losing to Baylor (yes, that Baylor who has won THREE Big XII road games EVER). K-State is cruising along doing what needs to be done to win a game (win the turnover battle, be solid on special teams, defense plays sound).

This WILL be a tough game though b/c the Tigers are good at defending the run. I don't see a aTm game again (or heck, a 1999 MU vs KSU game).

Grant Gregory needs to get the ball downfield to Banks and Brown (and these guys need to CATCH THE CATCHABLE BALLS) to get the safeties of MU to play back a bit.

MU: 24
KSU: 30

KU (this game is HUGE)

Man, if there ever was a game the Cats NEED to win, it has to be this one. Three years of POUNDINGS to the Jayhawks is enough. Time to beat KU like the DOD days.

KU has lost three games in a row coming into this one (@ CU, OU, @ TT) and their offense has been all over the place. Their defense is decent and it's been the turnovers by the offense that has put the defense in bad situations.

K-State got off to a horrific start against OU, then played pretty damn salty in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

If K-State can establish Daniel Thomas in the first quarter, look out. Even in the "Wildcat" with the threat for him to throw, he is D A N G E R O U S.

KU: 21
KSU: 31
