I don't mean to be rude, but this type of thinking doesn't make sense. Your main argument in this sentence is that since KU "spanked" A&M by...........8 points, then KU must be a good team. You also add more evidence of KU being good by saying that since A&M beat NU at Memorial Stadium, this makes KU a better team. What!? In order for this argument to hold any water, NU would have to be a great team with a great W-L record...NU has neither of these. Following your logic, since A&M beat NU, and KU beat A&M, then this means we need to respect KU........ I wish I knew what you were smoking, because I would like some...
I want them to beat a good team. Sure they faced three okay teams...but they barely won those games. These games were all close; they could have gone either way. One interception from the opposing team and KU may not be undefeated this year still.
I will give them credit when they do something significant. And saying they are better than us isn't saying much at all. I'm pretty sure Baylor could beat our asses, should we respect them too?
First of all....Did you watch the KU - A&M game? Do you remember when A&M came into memorial stadium and ran all over us? The point isn't that they ran all over US....it is that they ran all over us in OUR STADIUM. KU held them to under 100 yards rushing IN KYLE FIELD.
I know that their schedule is a joke. They certainly played some slouches at the beginning of this year, certainly no argument from me there, but their first 4 games they won by an average of 48 points. But Jeez, what else can you really ask of the players. They don't make the schedule, they just play the games.
They have done all that you could possibly ask of them.
As far as your argument about "you want them to beat a good team"
A: They went to Manhattan and beat K-State
B: They went to Boulder and beat Colorado
C: They went to College Station and beat A&M
Last I checked it was pretty difficult to win in the big XII on the road.
And I want to make this clear....I AM DEFINITELY NOT sitting here trying to tell you that I think KU is a national title contender, or even that I think they can compete with OU(because I think OU will stomp them). I am simply saying, lets give them credit right now, because THEY DESERVE IT.
