I would say 10-2 would be national coach of the year for Bo... To do that, in his first year after a losing season in a conference that seems to be improving, well that would be very opimistic and I will be the first to credit Bo. I think he may be a good coach, but goodness.sooners will be our toughest opponent over all...
mizzou will be our toughest opponent at home....
...and texas tech will be a scary road game...
...being optimistic the huskers could be as good as 10-2 and as bad as 7-5....I always like our chances at home especially with a more spirited coaching staff....oklahoma and texas tech to me will be very hard to overcome in Pelinis first year....we all know anything is possible with the level of talent still on the team, motivated coaches, and the nations #1 fans....a 6-6 season would be a dissapointment...

or perhaps it only reflects the person that made the poll? I am shocked at the amount of smack you KU boys are taking after one good year. its pretty funny reallyI agree. The arrogance of Husker Nation's bias against our hawks is shown in this poll. V-Tech is KU's Bit$%I voted for OU, and would have anyway, but how did a Va Tech team that lost to us make the list when we did not???

I'll have to admit..Even though "On further review" KU should be a tough game..But they weren't the 1st (or even 4th) team that came to my mind innitially..Old perceptions take several season to undo.or perhaps it only reflects the person that made the poll?

That is one fan. He is the board's provacatuer in the case of the Hawks... KU fans spent quite a bit of time interacting with Va Tech fans in Miami and actually the feedback I got back from both sides was very positive. Even those smack talking videos on the internet that were like Apple commercials were well mande and very funny. While SGS takes a different tack than I do, I think we do share the frustration of being called not for real all the time. Every week people said we would lose, we did not. Everyone said Va. Tech would blow us out, they did not. SOrry if we are prickly, but KU fans have seen our team improve gradually and then break through. I am just looking forward to a good year so I can quit hearing about how lucky we are.Nice excuse Hokie nation- The Jayhawk players were having fun on the beach as well. You should check out the KU beach party before the bowl game. No excuses hokie pokie, ya'll got beat. Deal with it. Now get off your mom's computer because she needs to e-mail me back. Oh, and tell her to shave. I swear she looks more and more like Chewbacka everytime I see her. :cowbell:I voted for OU, and would have anyway, but how did a Va Tech team that lost to us make the list when we did not???

because Va Tech is a consistently good program, and KU appears to be a one year wonder.
If a Kansas fan knew anything, they should know that we are a terrible bowl team. Our coaches treat the games as rewards instead of a football game. Prior to the Orange Bowl, our team was bowling, playing on jet-skis, etc. Vince Hall hurt his knee on a jet-ski and Cam Martin got hurt in the game as well. We expected Kansas to be a joke and it showed with our lackluster performance.
That being said, Oklahoma is the toughest game for Nebraska in 2008. :nutz

Another classy KU fan. Have fun at the Alamo Bowl this year while my team will be playing in another BCS bowl. :nanalama

I do not talk much smack, to be honest. I would like to see what smack I have talked. I just think people dismiss the tangible progress that is being made. I do not think my bold predicition onf 9-3 or 8-4 as my 2 most likely outcomes is over the moon, not down to earth crazy talk.... I just think we did not used to be a real contender in the North and we are on the path that we could be a real long term player. I do not think you all see tings like our 80,000 square foot football only facility, our good gradual rise in the size of our crwods (due to the bandwagon comments, which bely the gradual growth I have seen), etc. THere is something going on and it could result in a change to KU being a real challenger in the long term. That is by no means a foregone conlcusion, Mangino could leave, we could never get past the recruiting gap (like K-State), We could lose too many key coaches to better jobs, etc. BUt We have gradually improved and when I see comments from people who do not follow us, I try to educate them as to why I have my point of view, as they educate me as to theirs (sometimes they just throw out unsupported smack too, depending on the poster).melscott62 said:or perhaps it only reflects the person that made the poll?

Much appreciated. I was at the game and watch it way too much on tape, but we left a lot more points out there then Va Tech did. To your point, hard to say who woulda won if we played 5 times, but I am not a homer and I say 3 wins for the Hawks... We also downed it at the 1 at the end instead of putting out another TD, so the score looks a little closer than it was, but the Hokies are good and I would say they are another example of a fine program, with good fans and a good coach and they set a fine example as to how to run a football program. In the end, they play the game once and the rest is conjecture. What spoke more to me about my trips last year were about what kind of fans A&M and the Hokies had, it was impressive. I have always liked the Husker fans as a general rule (every group has their jerks, but some have less at least) and I think the Big Red should feel very proud about what they have built. I hope in 10 years we have maintained well enough to have a whole culture built up that would help us sustain excellence.HUSKER 37 said:I'll have to admit..Even though "On further review" KU should be a tough game..But they weren't the 1st (or even 4th) team that came to my mind innitially..Old perceptions take several season to undo.melscott62 said:or perhaps it only reflects the person that made the poll?

Remember how long it took for most of us to take KSU seriously?...It seems to be taking some time for me to think of them as being back to celler dwellers again.
That and possibly the overall "feeling" that VT would've won 3 out of 5 times last season against KU..Maybe even 4. :box
Congratulations on the Great season though, I hope you continue to represent. :clap
:yeah :lol:We better send these poll results to Bo so that he knows Oklahoma is going to be a tough game.
