Huskers Come to Manhattan

Well, friggin' MU has to put together their best game of the year against the Cats last Wed. Too bad they're gonna choke with their remaining games, then lose in the semi-finals of the Big XII tourney, then lose their 2nd round game in the NCAA tourney... oh wait, this is about KSU.

Bounce back win coming Saturday night in Manhattan against the Huskers. Low scoring game, but...

KSU: 59

NU: 51

Well, I was off on the ISU score...

Perhaps I'll go with the final score Wed @ MU as:

KSU 45

MU 84

Yeah, that'll do.

KSU @ ISU

Pretty big game tomorrow.

Win this one and confidence is HIGH with some tougher road games left in the season.

Not gonna happen.

KSU 61

ISU 67

Big XII Basketball Opener Tomorrow

Well, the OU football team pissed down their collective legs last night in the Championship Game; here's to hoping the basketball team does the same tomorrow @ Bramlage!

KSU 79

OU 71

My predictions...

Well, I was DEAD ON with my KU/KSU prediction of the score, but Ronald Price is still the coach @ K-State.

What the hell does he have to do to get fired?!?

K-State will lose to MU by 40+, lose to NU at home by 28, then beat ISU in the season finale by 3.

After the Cyclone win Coach Prince will talk of progress and be retained for another year.

0-9 vs. KU, MU and NU.

Who's controlling the program?! I mean for fuck's sake... Stan Parrish was better than Coach Prince AS A COACH. But Prince can talk his way out of this one?!?!

Sunflower Showdown 2008

This one's gonna be ugly kids. No way in hell K-State wins this game.

Reasons why KU wins:

1) Coach Prince

2) KU has lost 2 straight (as has the Cats). They need this one BAD!

3) Game played in Lawrence

4) Defense of K-State is the WORST in the country (not just Big XII... country)

KU: 48

KSU: 21

My hope: Sunday Prince is fired and Dave Brock is the interem head coach. Then after the season is FINALLY over (with only one win against ISU) K-State hires Gary Patterson as the H.C. and turns this bitch around.

Week 1 of Big XII conference game prediction...

Don't wanna toot my own horn, but was I ON with the predictions?!

The aTm/OSU game and ISU/KU were off, but otherwise...SNAP!

Boom goes the dynamite!

Oct 4th BIG XII Predictions

TT: 56
KSU: 28

UT: 34
CU: 17

KU: 38
ISU: 10

MU: 56
NU: 17

OU: 45
BU: 17

aTm: 3
OSU: 45

Texas Tech at K-State

Tuesday prediction:

Texas Tech: 56
Kansas State: 28

Tech doesn't play all that well on the road, but a trip to Manhattan will cure that. Run Red Raiders, run.

Another prediction: ABC switches from this game before the start of the 4th Quarter to some other game.

Wow, I was wrong about the Louisville score...

and wrong about the rest of the season.

B4 the Lousiville game, I saw K-State winning 7 games (maybe 8 if they snuck one out somewhere).

Now I see 4 wins.

The two more wins...

1) Louisiana Lafayette
2) Iowa State

And heck, I had a "W" for the Cats last year in Ames and look how well that one went.

KSU @ Louisville

BIG, HUGE game tonight in Kentucky.

Prediction:

K-State 27
Louisville 17

Boom goes the dynamite!

Memories... Jordy Burns Aqib (view from my seats)

Predictions Gone Bad

Some of my predictions I made in the last few months.

PREDICTION #1: Arthur Brown will be a Kansas State Wildcat in 2008.

PREDICTION #2: Michael Beasley will remain a Kansas State Wildcat in 2008.

PREDICTION #3: Kansas State football in 2008 will hit yet another low and finish at the bottom of the Big XII North.

We'll have to wait on the last one. Hopefully I am as wrong with that one as I was with the others.

Spring Look At The Cats -- Runningback

The curse of Darren Sproles is still evident.

5'8" - 170 lbs
5'7" - 187 lbs

5'8" - 168 lbs

5'9" - 195 lbs

Yep, that's the size of the runningbacks for K-State in 2008. The biggest of the bunch is WALK ON Keithen Valentine, who was the star of the spring game when he rushed for over 100 yards.

Junior Leon Patton is back and will try to prove himself to be the #1 back. If I had to guess, he'll be sharing the backfield with about 4 other people, including Dee Bell and Justin Woods.

Incoming JUCO transfer Daniel Thomas looks to join the runningback gang. Oh wait, he was a quarterback at Senatobia Northwest Mississippi C.C. At least he's 6'2" + 227 lbs. Now THERE'S K-State's big back!

GRADE: D+
