Scarlet Overkill

Yeah, Fro, in his magazine he predicted MU to have a losing season and Illinois one of most improved teams. Batting .1000 there so far, Phil! Well, at least judging by 1 game, it's not possible. 11 more games to go to see just how far off he really is. I guess I thought there'd be a drop off by MU, but never thought they'd have a losing season, and would still be very competitive. He may have predicted that bizarre order to the North division, but at least he's giving MU some respect by saying they'll have a blowout win against BG, as well as mentioning Gabbert and Alexander as those who will be surprises (in a good way) this week. http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/Sep09/DBSep10.html And, just a quick note to correct my original post, the performances by skill positions wasn't his own analysis, it was some other site's fantasy prediction. But still, he went pretty far off what his own precious computer predicted for KU@UTEP.

He predicts that Reesing will have the 4th best performance by a QB, Sharp to have the top performance for a RB, Briscoe to have the 2nd best performance by a WR, Meier to have the 14th best WR production. And yet, he goes completely away from his own computer rankings and picks UTEP to win by 1 point. His computer predicts a KU win 38-26, and yet his human prediction is UTEP 38 - KU 37. I'm starting to think Kansas fans are right that he's got some sort of grudge against them. In any event, he's already starting out to be a walking contradiction this year. http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/Sep09/DBSep09.html

Sorry about the outcome, Cacti, but great great great second half. A coach who can make adjustments, what a novel concept! I really thought they were going to pull it off, or at least force OT.

Go Big ... Purple? Our honorary Big 12 member, Clemson is about to face off against GT. Can't happen soon enough since Lou Holth just keeps embarrassing himself.

First off, who is Marlin Briscoe? Second, it's obvious that you did not see the Kansas game if you called the Nebraska win over FAU pedestrian (which I agree with), and the KU victory of the same score over one of the worst FCS schools impressive. What exactly impressed you about the KU game? I thought Marlin Briscoe was pretty impressive... Yes, he was. http://www.marlinbriscoemovie.com/

Hanging around with Husker fans will make you more appealing to just about everyone.

We know a little something about that from our previous coaching regime, unfortunately. But, a good coach will figure out how to keep the guys grounded, win or lose. Good luck to ASU.

Suicide watch

I've been griping LOUDLY about it for awhile now, but who, exactly, would be giving us crap? Have you seen other Big 12 non-conference schedules? I'd say at least we don't have a recent track record of playing FCS teams like many of the conference teams.

eleventy billion.

A word of advice, you may want to do some fact checking before posting an ad for your blog. First off, who is Marlin Briscoe? Second, it's obvious that you did not see the Kansas game if you called the Nebraska win over FAU pedestrian (which I agree with), and the KU victory of the same score over one of the worst FCS schools impressive. What exactly impressed you about the KU game?

Ed Cunningham, a former Washington player, has a whole year to learn Zac Lee's name. Clock starts now.

Agreed! I think this one sums up my own thoughts nicely, but will add no injuries, and improvements in execution across the board that are allegedly to take place between game 1 and game 2.

It's certainly not impossible, but is highly improbably. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Can't we all just look forward to the next game and hope they play better defense, come out with a win, and no injuries? Please? Pretty please?

I have concerns about his overall health now and hope whatever that was called is something controllable and minor.

Just thought I'd give an assisted bump to a deserving thread.

I'm of the opinion that I hope they don't tank. I'm sick of the mediocrity in our division.

That is just plain hilarious, I don't care who you are, it is!

Yeah, what he said. Great football player and even better young man, and will be a great addition to this year's class, regardless of where he decides to go. I know we'd certainly love to have him on board!

Proof? Not that I don't believe it. Ok, I don't believe it, at least not until I get something in writing.

Word! At least Miami's win helped Cacti's team a bit in the standings already, so a little consolation there.

Who usually does the Thursday night games for ESPN - is it a set crew? Somehow I was wishing it would be these two doing the Missouri game in October.

I just skimmed this section and didn't see it listed, but did he come in for a visit, officially or otherwise?

Man woman and child, that is terrible! I read somewhere that it happened, but had no idea it sounded so stupid on their part.
