K-State Fans Seem Pretty Cool

Lately there has been quite a bit of talk, maybe too much talk, in the football coaching community about the high probability that Kansas State will "Piss Pound" Auburn next week (their term, not mine).

As most of you know, LHC Bill Snyder's coaching tree is vast, far greater, for example, than that of someone who was coaching high school sports a handful of years ago. It is through these numerous and distinguished channels that this opinion radiates.

Apparently there are a number of factors contributing to this. Key among them are sentiments such as, but not limited to; "Auburn has not seen a quarterback like Jake Waters since Cam walked off campus," "Ryan Mueller would be the 1 overall draft pick if he played on the over-hyped SEC, and would easily be the Defensive Player of the Year in that conference," "Tyler Lockett will earn MILLIONS after scouts see his film against Auburn." It goes on and on...

I was curious if you guys on this board were thinking similarly about this game?

For me, it seems to jibe with my gut feeling as well.

----------------------

In their 3 games with the former middle of the pack Big12 teams that joined the SEC-SEC-SEC, they've allowed an AVERAGE of 49 points per contest. I'd say your sources are pretty accurate.

I just wish we would have played this game last week and had ISU next Thurs. Quite honestly, we could have used the Auburn game as a warm up and could have really used the extra time to get more prepared for ISU.

---------------------

Why did they hire a high school coach for their football team? Are they like super poor because they are in the south?

---------------------

A few notes on the state of Alabama's B team and the SEC as a whole:

Chizik: Was an awful coach at a bottom feeder Big 12 school. Goes to Auburn and destroys the SEC. Auburn: taking ISU's leftovers and still able to beat a conference because it is terrible.

Tuberville: Coaches at Auburn for like 20 years and can't hack it in the Big 12. He won an SEC title (maybe more?) and couldn't break 7 wins in the Big 12.

SEC DPOY Sams - Best defensive player in the conference barely gets drafted and gets sent to a practice squad. Auburn's offense puts up points because their best defensive player in the whole conference can't even make an NFL roster

This game is going to be similar to when we beat Miami a couple of years ago. KSU by 28+

--------------------

These are all completely objective verifiable facts, and I do not think there is room to debate that this will be the best team Auburn has ever faced.

But don't forget, they've had this game circled on their calendar for years. Based on the level of competition in the SEC, I expect Auburn spent about 50% of its practice time prepping for the K-State game every week last year while they coasted through that division A&M has been exposing ever since they arrived. Taking this into account, a 14-point Cats victory may be more realistic.

---------------------

Outside of your myopic 10 state region, there's a reason why the rest of the CFB world thinks of the SEC-SEC-SEC as Bama/LSU and the 12 dwarfs.

Now, to disprove that, tell me about the miracle that allowed you to luck into a "championship" game vs a team coached by Gary Pinkel.

---------------------

ISU would have taken no lower than third in the East last two seasons.

Meat goat money does buy a lot of calls.

Bo Jackson played for Alabama duh
