Yeah, I left early (5:00 left in the 4th, so not too early). Mostly because I'd rather watch football and not grown men play pattycake. And mainly because there was another Big XII North team playing that I'm more of a fan. Thank God for a storm delay in Lawrence or else I wouldn't of gotten to watch a team beat up on a south team like they should. Yesterday's loss to Oklahoma State was pretty much the end of the season. The dagger was in, and Okie St. came in and twisted it, finishing the Huskers off for good. I'd try to sell my remaining tickets for the games, but word on the street is you can't even give them away anymore. At least there is still tailgating before the games.

Just don't by tickets near the student section, as all students are obnoxious when it comes to their teams winning. Most of us KU fans may give you a little crap, but we won't keep piling it on. KU fans are civil, unlike Moo fans. That is unless we're playing Moo...

I agree on the 4th in 1, he shouldn't have gone for it... or if he did, he should of pounded it with Brandon McAnderson right up the gut and not the option. On going for two, it was a mishandled snap, the kicker picked it up and tried to throw it to Fine for the 2-pt conversion... not a Mangino called play. I think the slow start by our QB today was expected, it was his first away start ever, and first day of conference play... he settled in, and after he got going he was good (not great only because of the int's...). I'm looking forward to playing you 'skers in November... and I'll be yelling at my TV tonight for the Corn to muck up fizzou.

I'll be rooting for you boys in red today!!! Kill Mizzou!!! Corn - 40, Tiggers - 21

Actually I had the ushers tell me that if I stood up again they would call the police. I sit in Section 15, 1st Row, which is a halfway student section. I'm also in the first row so I can't see half the time because people walking by me every second of the game.

I've been saying that all year!!! Glad someone agrees with me.

Not that I'm saying comparative scoring is ever valid... but A regulation win over Iowa (Iowa St.), is far better than an overtime victory against Navy (Ball St.). I think ISU brings it's 'A' game and makes this game closer than it should be. Kinda like last week.

Being a Kansas football fan from Nebraska puts me in an odd position having student tickets to the Husker games. God knows when I go to the Husker games I cheer hard and loud, I root for you Huskers just as much as a lot of you fans, yell "Go Big Red", stand up, high fives when the 'Skers score a touchdown, wave the wheat or whatever you call it here, etc. Yesteday, I was in a position where I have never been in at a Husker game... there were points in the game where I sat down to show my displeasure in the Defensive fiasco that was taking place, but yet, I found a way to get back up after a couple plays each time, and scream at the top of my lungs again... only to have them get a first down on another third and long or break a long run when sitting deep in their own territory. It was a sickening feeling as a Big XII fan in general, almost as sick as I felt when Toledo took and beat KU in overtime last year. Stuff like that is what I expect out of my Jayhawks, but out of the Huskers... I was just in complete shock. I really thought during the USC games that the Huskers were better than what they displayed in that game, but after yesterday I don't know if that can be said for this Husker team. I've been being overly optimistic for my Jayhawks in saying that the November 3rd showdown between the Huskers and Jayhawks will decide the Big XII North, but now I feel I was being overly optimistic about the ability of the Huskers. Now I might have to change my prediction to the Mizzou Kansas game, even though we all know Pinkel can't finish a year... I fear for you guys, I fear team unity is going to be an issue, if it isn't already. I saw no emotion out of the defense yesterday, which is insane (college football is all about emotion!). I know someone mentioned something about Mangino's debacle yelling at the kid for showboating. I'm sorry if that offends you Husker fans, but I sure as hell it gets the job done and Mangino doesn't have to worry about being backed up on a Kickoff anymore, and I'm sure as hell it fired some guys up too, something I haven't seen Bill Callahan or any of his coaching staff ever do for his football team. I didn't boo yesterday, as I'm not a true Husker fan, but if I was a Husker fan, I know damn well I would have booed. That was just pathetic.

You're all kidding yourselves if you think Solich was fired because of where the program was. He was 58-19 as a head coach for crying out load, and then going 9-3... give me a break. He was fired because of some extra curricular activities going on with some teeny bopper in David City.
