I am not bagging on anyone, but have the right to a well thought out opinion without being told I am patronizing people or do not know college football, because you do not want to hear me.
P.S. Blue and Red is putrid? It is the color of our national teams, but whatever, that is your personal view I guess.
Dude...check the thread! I gave you a more complete and well thought out opinion than your mother would give you!
A) I explained...in detail...complete with week by week analysis, my opinion of how I thought KU and ISU would fare against their respective opponents in 2008.
B) I explained...again in great detail...why, in my opinion, your comparison between Allen and Mangino was inaccurate
C) I explained...in detail...why I thought KU's 2007 football season was a fluke and why I thought, again in my opinion, that it would not be duplicated.
For every arguement you made, I had an equally objective counter-arguement. For every point, a counter point. Sorry dude but short of me saying "All Hail Mighty Kansas...the greatest football dynasty in the country" (which I am NOT going to do by the way) we're just going to have to agree to disagree and wait till the season starts to sort it out. If KU pulls another great season out of Mangino's butt, I'll be the first one to say "Whoopie for Kansas"...but don't hold your breath cuz it ain't gonna happen.
Well, you did make very well thought out counter arguments, except for the glaring omission of how you explain my point that Kansas started as a mediocre program under Allen, went to Awful, and how Mangino has more than reversed that. I agree you broke down 2008, and, as you say, it is only opinion. So I do not think you have answered my point, but I will let it go if you feel you have, as it is belabored enough as it is... So, you will come on here and Post after KU wins 8 games and admit the Jayhawk was right, I will do the same if we win 7 or less? Also, you saying all hail Kansas would be sweet. put that in the post when I win....
I am not going to hate on ISU just because you are hating on the Jayhawks, I would pick them for 6-6 or maybe 7-5 if things go well. You guys have OK talent, but I wouldn't trade my man. You are going to wave bye to us, but even after you won 2 nice games at the end of last year we beat you 45-7 (up from 41-10 the year before, see, improvement). I think some of the beatdowns Kansas laid out this year would make you think we were good, but to each there own. I do not remember sitting in the stands as a kid and watching the Huskers beat us down, as they did most of their opponents and not give them any credit. But it is in Ames this year, so maybe it will be more difficult. If we win, it will be 4 years in a row. That would make our crappy coach 5-2 against you guys, maybe THEN he would be good. Allen was 2-3 against you all, maybe now I see why you like him, he also did not ruin your Big 12 North title chance, hmmm, hmmmm.... (Sorry for that, I would have loved for you guys to win that title, you really do have great fans who stick by the team, but it made my point so I went with it)
I pick Nebraska for 7 wins, 8 if things go well. The issue with picking the Huskers is they do have a LOT of talent, and so it is hard to know if they can get more out of these kids, as one would think the talent is there to do something.
