That certainly didn't help. I thought a factor that was as big or bigger than that, though, was the special teams blunders.

May I quote Eric The Red's Sig???
"Kansas State. The school scores high on pride and passion. But pride and passion only can take a program so far. Money has been poured in to improve horrid facilities, but how much better can they get in Manhattan? K-State is what it is: a school located in the middle of nowhere with limited resources, a miniscule talent base and little history." -SI
...And after Saturday, an 8-4 record and 2nd in the North.

You obviously didn't watch the game. Once McCoy went down, the whole Longhorn team was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off for about three quarters. They were able to bounce back at the end, but the rest of the game was U-G-L-Y.

when mccoy went out, the WHOLE TEAM was emotionally drained

I didn't realize that it would be so hard for people to admit that Prince and KSU may actually be an above average team. But you're probably right. An 8-win season is probably due to luck, opponents emotionally letting go, UFO's abducting the head coach and West Nile virus infecting half of the conference.
Has nothing to do with good coaching and using the players efficiently and effectively.
Also have to agree with whoever said (Eric The Red?) that Stoops should have more votes. .3%? I'd say he's done quite a good job with a QB getting cut, replacing him with a QB that you just moved to WR last year because he couldn't cut it, and a top 3 Heisman candidate getting knocked out. Granted, he started with a pretty good roster to start the season.

i never said they weren't having a good season, please show me where i said that. This conversation was about the Ksu - Texas game, NOT their season as a whole

The conversation is actually about Prince or Callahan (or whoever) for coach of the year. I had made points for Prince over the year what he has done and then SOMEBODY turned it into the KSU/UT game breakdown. I, in turn, tried to show how Prince and his players worked to win that game and will be looking at an 8-4 SEASON.
So no....this conversation is not about the KSU/UT game. Might want to go re-read the thread subject line, how my comments revolved around the KSU program as a whole and how Prince has done over the season...and then re-think your last comment.

Hey...whatever you want it to be. You know it is POSSIBLE to be a Husker alumni, Husker fan....and STILL realize that there are other programs out there. However if I need to go out and get a personalized license plate and a blazing Husker tattoo....I'll probably pass on that.
I guess I like thinking that the conference as a whole needs to be recognized...as right now the Big XII is weaker than it has been in years and needs all the programs to step up and be a force.
