Who does the HAWKS most resemble in the Big 12?

[cykick]

Ok, So I posted a post a week ago, asking what team in the Big 10 Iowa State most resembles, the consensus was a tie between INDIANA and ILLIONIS.
I think it would be interesting to see who you think the HAWKS resemble in the Big 12....and why?

 

[CyTwins]

One of the Kansas schools

KState. Fundamentally sound in many key positions. Know how to take advantage during lean competition years. Fairly consistent in w/l.

 

[CyBri]

Us

 

[SNEDDS3]

Colorado

I'd say a worse K State since Synder has been better and has had to play tougher competition

 

[HFCS]

I'd also say pretty comparable personnel. Hard to compare them to the OK/Texas schools because of speed even in years they have a better record than some of them.

Hands-down it is Nebraska pre-2011, similar fan base & a FB team that occasionally takes advantage of a very easy FB schedule.

Okie state. Solid, consistent football program that is well respected and occasionally wins 10+ games. Mediocre basketball team that plays in a mostly empty arena.

Iowa has one top 25 finish in the last 6 years. Okie State has 4

Definitely Kstate.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

K state.

Boring offensive team
Coach who has a personality of a stick
Ranking always reflects them as a better team than they are
Their differing style seems to win them games

I'm with the K-State folks here. We talk a lot about how we would do in the Big 10. I think if you threw K-State into the Big 10, with the schedules Iowa has had recently, you'd see at least similar, but I think, better results. K-State consistently outperforms their talent on paper and I don't see them losing to the Central Michigans or Iowa States of the world as often as Iowa does. The way Snyder coaches his teams, I honestly could see K-State as the team to beat in the West year in and year out.

 

[CyBlitz]

maybe Texas right now.... I mean those two teams that are over-rated teams that have a unrealistic fan base that doesn't realize that their offense sucks and make pathetic excuses why they lose games

 

[peteypie]

Kansas. Blue bloods of basketball and suck at football.

 

[JohnnyFive]

Kansas State in on-field playing style, coaching and team makeup. Texas for off-field fanbase arrogance in spite of middling, inconsistent spurts of success that may or may not be a direct relation to schedule difficulty.

Gotta go with Purple Kansas. Their fans are much better than Iowa's though. So maybe, Purple Kansas with Misery Fans?

Should have made a poll, it would be 80%+ KSU.

 

[Gonzo]

KSU has 1 top-10 finish the past 15 years. Same with Okie St. Iowa has 5. Not close. I'd say Iowa leans OU, maybe with a dash of Texas since they've had up and down years lately.

This sounds like a Nebraska fan, so I'll go with Nebraska.
