Tomorrow Night , could be a dangerous time with K/State
Feb 05, 2024 03:35 AM #1

The big 12 didn't do us any favors in the Scheduling. Were just coming off a huge game , a physical game , where our 5 guys had to once again play a lot of minutes. Now we have to turn right around and come right back after a Saturday & play on a Monday.

Could be kind of a trap , the players without a doubt have to be drained some what if nothing else emotionally , then physically tired - -could have some dead legs, - We just happen to be playing K/State who hasn't been playing worth a tinkers dam their last 4 games all L's - -you know they are going to be amped for us, their little place that's what they call the Octagon will just about be but no way can they match the atmosphere but they will try - -it will be jumping - -They take us as the arch/hated rival - -A lot of KU people me included really don't consider this much of a rival anymore , as for it to be a rival you have to win on a little more of a consistent basis then they have - -were coming off a big win going to harder to get up for K/State then Saturday - -Seems at times we play to the level of our competition , were coming in ranked AGAIN - -they are not. Were still in the thick of the league title chase - - they are at least two games back now - -These are the things that can lead you to get a L - -we have to be ready. - -They haven't shot the ball worth a crap , they will probably come out and just shoot lights out, guys that haven't any decent games will play out their ass - - -gonna be hard if not impossible to replicate the type of shooting we had Saturday.

Sure hope not but this could be a dangerous game , we haven't played well on the road in league we got to be focused.- -Rough stretch of games. - -We had Houston on Saturday - - -K/State Monday , - -then they turn right around and do it to us AGAIN with playing Baylor on the road Saturday - and then following right back with ANOTHER Monday -- -guys are going to be spent

I'm thinking the fans might not show up for fear of embarrassment! Also read where tang has given up but has given everything to beat KU. Has some special plays for us. His only focus is on KU. Pretty dumb if he's given up on the rest of the season. What a leader!

@Crimsonorblue22 KSU fans will be there in full, praying for a win. I don’t think they have sold out a men’s game this season but guaranteed they do this one.

The Monday turnaround is rough, but @KSU is probably the 3rd easiest game left on our schedule even if they do only live to win this game once in a blue moon. Definitely more worried about the Tech game next week.

@MR11 they did have a game too!

It’s interesting to me that Tech, ISU and Baylor had a week in conference where they played 1 game where as everyone else doesn’t.

No we have that also guy, I think because of the un balanced schedule - like we play TCU only once this year. - -Ours fall on from Feb 17th we play Oklahoma at their place then we don't play again till the Feb 24th against Texas at home -- Sat/Sat - everyone should have a week like that

I wouldn't say this to our team, but they just lost to okie state! They played a lot of mins too. They don't have much size. I know this means a lot to our guys that played there last yr. Juan hit his head, we had 2 key guys foul out, on really bad calls. We will kill them! Feel it!❤️💙🏀🌾🌾🌾🌾😍

@Crimsonorblue22 We will get our butts kicked tonight!!

There - I just unjinxed you.

Feb 05, 2024 07:56 PM #10

@nuleafjhawk Just hope the reverse psychology does not jinx us.

Feb 05, 2024 08:46 PM #11

@patoh3 You should come up with a quip to unjinx my potential jinx

Just saw some of their fans on our news. They said this is their biggest rivalry, ugh! I just don't want them to be our rivalry! I could live w/out them!

I'll say this again , and others echo. I don't call this a big rivalry anymore - -have trouble calling it a rivalry little lone a big rivalry -- you have to win on a little more consistent basis then they do for it to be considered a rivalry

Feb 06, 2024 02:02 AM #14

@Crimsonorblue22 in order to be a true rivalry they would have to win at least once in a blue moon

Feb 06, 2024 03:28 AM #15

@nuleafjhawk - Don’t jinx it.

Feb 06, 2024 03:31 AM #16

@Gorilla72 I think I already did

Feb 06, 2024 04:51 AM #17

@nuleafjhawk they have won fairly often since 2014 in Manhattan.

Feb 06, 2024 02:27 PM #18

KSU fans suck, but their program is a big nothing burger. I think until they achieve some sort of relevance the rivalry will continue to be one sided with KU overlooking the mildcats and KSU absolutely hating KU for it. Forgot to load the wagon last night.

Feb 06, 2024 04:38 PM #19

KSU is winning 2 of 3 football + basketball meetings most years recently. Sad.

Feb 06, 2024 08:58 PM #20

@Gorilla72 It's the beginning of the Apocalypse.

Feb 07, 2024 05:25 AM #21

@nuleafjhawk - Exactly! It’s a sign.
