dp Again, like I’ve posted on Greg’s blogs all football season, NO K-State fans who are based in reality think this past season was a ‘dream season’, ‘spectacular’ or ‘the stuff of fairy tales’. Nobody is saying the 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003-type teams are back.
Real K-State fans are excited because-
1. There is some sense of order back in Manhattan, after 3 years of disarray.
2. Despite being picked last or next to last by just about all the local media ‘experts’ because they had no established QB or RB and a ton of JUCO players on D, they controlled their own destiny in the North and a bowl bid on the last day of the season…blowing EVERYONE’S expectations out of the water
(note: don’t tell me it cheapens what K-State did because KU or MU or anyone is ‘down’. Do MU’s great seasons the last two years mean less because K-State and Nebraska were ‘down’ or OU humiliated them twice in the Big XII games? No, it doesn’t).
3. They have a good nucleus of players coming back next year, despite a tougher schedule. They’ll be improve over this season and probably be back in a bowl with 7-8 wins. National title? No, but improving.
PS- who gives a $hit what Ted McKinght thinks? Tell him to stick to D-II ball.
Bluestrike With that schedule, KSU won’t win six next year. No bowl game for the kitties.
Three straight non-bowl seasons for Snyder–the first two of them coming after a Big 12 title. Nobody wasted their lone conference championship more than KSU. Looks like 2003 was the fluke…

Not to worry, he fell on his own driveway so it didn’t really happen.
