ChicoHusker Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 KU is playing well this year so far. The way I look at it is that after last weekend there is a storm brewing in the north. Being a Nebraska fan I follow my team one game at a time and Kansas right now is a game we'll be playing later for in this storm we must take one game at a time and make sure we keep winning. The Big Red will go down and show Columbia that we are indeed tough as rain (whatever that means). Later, we'll focus on Kansas. Good luck to Kansas this weekend against KSU, this game will be telling as to Kansas's fortunes this year. Quote Link to comment

Tiger In SC Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I hate to rain on your parade, but I don't think you beat KState. If you do, you can gladly come back on here and shout I told you so. IMO, KState is playing the best all around game in the Big 12 North so far this season. I'm just glad we get them at home! I wouldn't worry much about the Jayhawkers until they beat a team in the top 125. As far as Kansas State, the way you beat them is take care of the football and kick the ball out of bounds against their special teams. I don't think Freeman can sustain offensive drives so you play ball control, don't take chances offensively and win the special teams. Both MU and Nebraska will beat K-State. K-State beat a Texas team soundly, but Texas didn't take care of the game-plan above. Quote Link to comment
huskernation20 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm not worried about Kansas Gayhawks...I do hope that you beat Kansas St., just to show everyone that Kansas St. is not the best in the North. That way after we handle Missery, we will undoubtedly be the #1 Team in the North! GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Let me guess...you're tuff as rain? P.S. Ball State would beat Kansas. I don't think we have enough data to support that, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view.) Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 It's kind of funny how now after almost beating us on our homefield how great of a team Ball State is all of a sudden. I mean just because they haven't had a winning season in a decade and are a middle of the pack MAC team, now they could beat almost any of the teams we play from here on out? Quote Link to comment

Yeah, it's kinda funny... Well, truth be told, Ball State will get their opportunity to prove themselves worthy..... at the end of this month, they play Illinois in Champaign, then follow up -- with back-to-back Big 10/11 ball games -- at Indiana. I wouldn't be surprised if they're more than competitive on the road...... and they'll do well in the MAC, too. Time will tell.... Quote Link to comment
AuroranHusker Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 KU is undefeated but who have you really played? Southeastern Louisiana? Toledo? FIU? Central Michigan? While I do not doubt that Kansas football is on the rise, you guys haven't played a worthy opponent all season until this weekend when you guys have to play a KSU team that just whipped, yes whipped, Texas in their own house! I love to see the North on the rise but I don't think KU is for real. We shall see though. My thoughts exactly...... I only hope that KU is actually on the rise, and knocks off K-State from their thinly veiled, media-created pedestal. A KU win is better for NU's fortunes, IMO. Quote Link to comment

"ANY question" may be a bit premature, IMO...... if KU beats K-State, then I'd be willing to say that KU is on their way to truly being "on the rise" in the North. And I do hope that KU brings K-State down on Saturday. Quote Link to comment
Husker Hunyock Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I think that the Jayhawks are playing KSU at just the right time. Mangino is damn good coach who will have kids ready. Good luck on Saturday. I am more nervous about playing KU this year than any other team in the north. Quote Link to comment

"On the rise" does not mean they're necessarily on their way to being a big power or a consistent contender for the title. It means they're improving, which they are. KU has had no place to go but up, and in recent years they've been improving. Hence, they're on the rise, without question. Quote Link to comment
