K-State
All things considered, I would have been a little surprised at the beginning of the season that we’re 4-0 at this point being the pessimist. None are super impressive wins, but then again, how much can you bitch about ending the 1st part of the season undefeated when you’re just trying to get to a bowl?
KU
I think Gill realistically gets 2 years. I’ve already heard the mumblings of running him out of town already. Those who questioned his ability to coach are feeling a bit smug right now and its hard to go against that. I think, unless there’s a total implosion over there (which I don’t think there will be, there’s still some talent) he gets 2 years to see if there’s some recruiting magic and to get acclimated. I can see him getting axed mid-way through his 3rd year if things are ugly. I like Gill, but I really don’t want KU to be any good at football… ever.
Mizzou
I’m quite impressed with their mediocrity at this point. Keep up the good work guys!
Iowa State
Did not see that coming. Good for Iowa State.
Nebraska
Will offer predictions on this tomorrow. K-State Extra had a nice piece on “Crash” Ekeler and how he really enjoyed his time at K-State but there’s no split allegiance here. I don’t really understand why they ask guys questions like that. Who’s gonna say “Well of course I want us to lose, I still like that other place better?” I need to be a reporter…
Colorado
Not even going to comment on the rushing the field. God have they left the Big XII yet? Get ‘em the F out of here already
Texas
Everyone should smell blood and pile on these idiots while they’re “down.” All the other 11 teams in this league can agree how much no one can stand Texas. Hopefully they’ll implode like they did in basketball last year and everyone can get in as many cheap shots as possible this year. Kick ‘em while they’re down and keep kickin!
Oklahoma
Good to see Stoops get a win in this game for the first time in awhile. I’m hoping Oklahoma limps through the season undefeated so we can have some sort of representative in the championship game, assuming they have enough of a resume to get that far.
Okie State
I really really wish these guys weren’t starting to look like a decent team. Until “I’m a Man” is out of there, I won’t like the Cowboys, just ain’t gonna happen.
Tech
I wonder what Tech’s record would be if The Pirate Captain himself were still around. 3-1? 4-0? Tommy is a good coach (in my opinion) and I’m sure he’ll set things straight soon enough. But I have to wonder why they seem to be having so many issues with the players they’ve got.
Baylor
I remember, or think I remember (its been so long), when Baylor was actually a semi-respected football school for miles around (25-30 miles I think). So, while I’m not positive it’s a sign of the apocalypse, I’m surprised that I’m surprised that they are actually looking like a fairly good football team. Then again, KU is making a lot of people look better than they are (unless you’re ACC that is)
A&M
I was really hoping that A&M would beat Okie State but alas, I’m annoyed with A&M yet again. I just can’t figure out how a Texas team with that much tradition and access to those kind of players is routinely mediocre.
