I'm in. LOL
OU still has dudes, I just hope they don't figure it out. A win in Norman clearly isn't as impressive at all compared to what it would have been in years past.
Preseason poll ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date

I used Mred, updated the previous results, left it at Default for remainder, this is the snapshot for that. I might do a full run-through later for what I’d project, based on what we’ve seen so far ... KU will lose some games, but I can't so finishing 0-7 (kind of a vice-versa for Iowa State).
1. Okla St (8 - 1)
2. Oklahoma (7 - 2)
3. Texas (6 - 3) Defeated Baylor and TCU based on round-robin record (2-0).

Yep. It will be the most interesting tactical battle for this game, ISU's defense v. K-State run game. Klieman seems to avoid chucking it like Woody Hayes. But to this point in time, sans Tulane, it hasn't been necessary. Cyclones will likely go man and load the box to counter. Then, what will Collin Klein call up and how will AMart deliver? IDK.
You might want to find a new analyst. OU winning out and Ku going winless? Highly unlikely for OU.
Well, as I said, those are using the defaults I'm sure it was set up prior to season, not sure how often it's updated. I think for basketball it's updated routinely, but I'm not sure of timetable.
Not sure who WVU beats but otherwise won't argue until after Saturday. Clearly, the league is balanced and every game seems winnable.
Surly being critical about anything given the amount of shitposting they do is quite hilarious.
It is clear, it has been figured out he is much better running than throwing. But that was something that teams did not appear to be prepared for the last couple weeks. It will depend on how well teams are able to defend the run, from him and Deuce, Which really is what I have said all along. Defend KSU run attack and you limit them drastically. The issue is it is more of a 2 dimensional run game now with AMart and Deuce, which makes it more of a challenge.
It’s like playing a service academy. And those guys can win games but their ceiling is always going to be pretty low.
Service academies, K-State or both? And what to you is a "low ceiling"? Always like people on record before the fact.
The KU QB was getting some Heisman chatter prior to Saturday but that has faded after their 200ish yard performance against ISU/Heacock. Take away the interception and 20 yard drive for a TD & ISU shut down KU. Our New QB had the deer in the headlights & zilch running game made for a poor showing. I expect Heacock will have a plan for Martinez but their tiny quick RB could be a problem. Should be a nail biter.
So, you go all ad hominem because you can't write something rational as an explanation for the "low ceiling" comment, right? I'd just like you to explain your position rather than flipping the bird at me. Very ungentlemanly on your part, by the way, JM.
Surly's getting pissed no one will engage with their bullsh*t. Now in the uniform thread too desperate for someone to bite.
